摘要
Margosan-0, a commercial preparation of neem seed kernel extract was tested for its effects as toxicant, deterrent and sterilant against the bean aphid Aphis fabae and compared with the German product Neem-Azal S. Second and 4th nymphal instars of A. fabae, placed on bean plants treated with different concentrations of Margosan-0 or Neem-Azal S, were adversely affected and very high percentage of mortality occurred after 96 hours. In a choice test, higher numbers of adults settled and larviposited on plants treated with Margosan-0 in comparison to the control. Neem-Azal S treated plants showed high deterrence to the adults at high concentrations. The deterrent effect was reflected in a reduced larviposition. Plants treated with different concentrations of either Neem-Azal S or Margosan-0 significantly affected the longevity and fecundity of A.fabae. The efficacy of Neem-Azal S is more pronounced than that of Margosan-0.
