Effect of Temperature and Humidity on the Potentiality of Sweet Flag(Acorus calamus)Oil against the Almond Moth,( Cadra cautellaWalker, Lepidoptera : Phycitidae)
The effect of temperature and humidity on the potentiality of sweet flag（Acorus calamus Linn.)as fumigant against the Almond moth（Cadra cautella Walker) was studied under varying conditions of temperature(20 ?,25 ? and 30 ?)and relative humidity(60% and 70%)providing three exposure periods viz.,12 hrs,24 hrs and 48 hrs. The dosages were 0,5,10,25,50 and 100 祃/per volume, respectively, of 15cm x 7cm cylindrical glass jars. The result was that 50 to 100 祃 dosages were very effective in suppressing the viability of two days old eggs, 15 days old larvae,two days old pupae, and two days old adults. The higher dosages and higher exposure periods provided the higher mortality from 78. 6% to 98.2% of eggs,larvae,pupae and adults of this insect. The increase in dosages, temperature, humidity and exposure periods provided increased mortality in all stages of the insect.
