Abstract

In this study antifeedant effect of different doses of GAMMA RADIATION as a controlling safe method on flour weevil, TRIBOLIUM CASTANEUM (Herbst) larvae and adult was studied. Doses of 100, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 Gy of GAMMA RADIATION were used and after 72 hours, nutritional indices were evaluated. The RELATIVE GROWTH RATE (RGR), RELATIVE CONSUMPTION RATE (RCR), EFFICIENCY OF CONVERSION OF INGESTED FOOD (ECI) and feeding deterrence index (FDI) as nutritional indices were evaluated. Treatments were assessed by flour wheat disc at 27±1oC and 65% humidity in a dark condition. The results showed that the RELATIVE GROWTH RATE of flour weevil larvae and adults decreased significantly (P<0.05) by GAMMA RADIATION and the severity of this reduction in larvae was higher than the adults. Although the RELATIVE GROWTH RATEs decreased in adults, this rate in doses of 400, 600, 800 and 1000 Gy showed no significant difference. The relative food consumption rate also decreased with the GAMMA RADIATION and its value found to be inversely proportional to the dose radiation. Our experiments showed that the use of GAMMA RADIATION exposure to 800 Gy had no significant effect on the EFFICIENCY OF CONVERSION OF INGESTED FOOD of larvae and reduction was observed only when the GAMMA RADIATION was used in 1000Gy. The feeding deterrence effect of GAMMA RADIATION, especially on the larvae was high but no significant difference between doses of 100 to 800Gy was observed. The results showed that GAMMA RADIATION that induces antifeedant effect can be applied as an effective method in control of T. castaneum.
