Prospecção fitoquímica e bioatividade de extratos seco e hidroalcoólico de três espécies vegetais da caatinga paraibana no controle do Zabrotes subfasciatus em sementes de feijão.

Abstract

Among the pests that attack bean seeds during storage, we highlight the 'Zabrotes subfasciatus (bean weevil) by reducing the quality and nutritional value of seeds. lhe reduction of the quality of grains / seeds during storage is mainly associated with the degree of infestai ion and environmental conditions in which it is the mass of beans. Thus. we attempted to produce this work and assess the potential of plant extracts of Aspidosperma pyrifolium (pereiro), Anadenanthera colubrína (angico) and Licania rígida (oiticica) of Zabrotes subfasciatus in control and evaluate the physical and physiological quality of seeds Phaseolus beans treated with extracts obtained from leaves and bark of these species, 180 days packed in like pet under uncontrolled temperature and relative humidity. The study was conducted in four experimenls. where the first extracts werc produccd and performed the bioactivky of insecticide hydroalcoholic plant extracts and dry in the extract from the bark pereiro dose of 3 ml. was 100% effective in killing the Zabrotes subfasciatus and, in doses of 4 and 5 ml 100% mortaliiy are given for ali the extracts. In the second experiment we studied the rcpcllcncy / attractiveness and mortality of Zabrotes subfasciatus post by extracts of these plants and has been observed that the number of adult inseets repelled by the extracts was higher with post myrtle bark extract, followcd by the others (pereiro shcll angico bark, leaf and angico pereiro sheet) that are staiisticaily similar, and the fewer inseets gave repelled with myrtle leaf extract. but the contrary to the attractiveness. The bioassays for phytochemical screening of plant extracts obtained from leaves and bark of these species corresponded to the third experiment, in which extracts pereiro revcaled the highest leveis of secondary compounds (alkaioids, steroids, tannins, flavonoids and saponins) followed by mimosa and myrtle. and lhe fourth experiment, the botanical extracts were used to control this insect pest during storage, where it was found in control insccticidal activity of Zabrotes subfasciatus, killing them and / or inhibiting its development. In the treatment of seeds o f Phaseolus beans, the dose of 3 ml was the best results for better control extracts oiticica, pereiro sheet and the shell. The procedures used in seed treatment with the extracts of plant species were efficient in maintaining the viability did not affect germination during 180 days of storage.
