RESUMO

In this work, we studied the toxicity of mustard oil to 18 populations of Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) collected in Brazil, and the correlation with their resistance and phosphine. There is relationship between toxicity of mustard oil and respiratory rate; we were seeking evidence that would be determinant of susceptibility to mustard oil. Additionally, evaluated the toxicity of mustard oil to immature stages of T. castaneum and was investigated of respiratory rate and body mass of insects, and relationship between respiratory rate and oil in the toxicity study. The mustard oil, with 90% of the volatile component ITCA was diluted in vegetable oil from soybeans, in the proportion of 0.5:9.5v/v, to get on oily solution 4.5% of ITCA. The concentrations were used to assess the adult and immature stages ranged from 2.25 to 5.62 μL L-1. Results of mortality were used to generate the concentration-response curves. LC50 and LC95 were estimated too and their used to calculate reasons of toxicity (RT). Patterns of instantaneous rate of growth instantaneous (ri), respiratory rate (CO2 production) and body mass were assessed to each adult. Last two parameters were used to immature stages evaluation. Nonresistance was showed in all populations of T. castaneum to mustard oil, and no cross-resistance between phosphine and mustard oil was showed too. We observed different reproductive patterns, respiratory and body mass among adult populations. However, no relationship was found between these variables and toxicity of mustard oil. The essential oil of mustard showed toxicity to all immature stages of T. castaneum evaluated. The toxicity data also indicated difference remarkable in susceptibility among stages of development in insect populations evaluated. In insect stages, eggs and young larvae were more susceptibility and more tolerant, respectively. The respiratory rate was influenced by stage of development of insects and their body mass. However, no relationship was observed between respiratory rate of insects and toxicity of mustard oil. All populations not showed any resistance to mustard oil and cross-resistance between mustard oil and phosphine that was toxic to all stages of development of insects. Wherefore, may be possible mustard oil will become an important alternative fumigant and is use in management programs of resistance to phosphine.
