FUMIGATION WITH MIXTURES OF PHOSPHINE AND CARBON DIOXIDE AGAINST BEAN WEEVILS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

Keywords: alternative to methyl bromide, concentration, populations and stages of Acanthoscelides obtectus.

Abstract

The work is devoted to the search for alternatives to methyl bromide – a universal fumigant, which was restricted in use at the request of the Montreal Protocol. The article presents the results of the toxic action of mixtures of phosphine gases with carbon dioxide against pests of legume products. Purpose: study of the toxic effect of a mixture of phosphine and carbon dioxide against bean weevils at different of their stages of development and populations. Objects of research. Acanthoscelides obtectus Say at different of their stages of development and populations. The research material is the preparative form of phosphine “Magtoxin” (tablet form) produced by Detia Degesch GmbH, carbon dioxide in cylinders. Methods: analytical review of the research topics, the current regulatory framework in the field of fumigation; analysis of biological characteristics of bean weevils; experimental – establishment of 100% effectiveness of phosphine with carbon dioxide against pests in laboratory conditions with appropriate equipment; mathematical and statistical – with the help of computer mathematical functions built into the Microsoft Excel 2003 program. During fumigation at a CT Product of 6.85 and a temperature of 30 0C, the mortality of adults, larvae, pupae and eggs of the bean weevil was determined at the level of 96.7±1.31, 89.7±1.73, 66.3±3, 97 and 58.3±3.46%, respectively. During fumigation at a CT Product of 14.26 and a temperature of 22 °С, the mortality of adults, larvae, pupae and eggs of the bean weevil was determined at the level of 79.3±2.85, 74.0±4.08, 65.3±3.54 and 60.6±4.28%, respectively. In order to ensure 100% mortality of resistant populations of Acanthoscelides obtectus in the egg stage, it was necessary to increase the indicators of a CT Product from 10.14–14.23 to 19.22–29.25 depending on the temperature. Acanthoscelides obtectus in the egg stage was the most resistant to fumigation with gas mixtures at different temperatures. Pupae are only 7.0% less resistant to gas mixtures compared to the egg stage. The difference in mortality between active and inactive stages was 38.4 and 18.7% at temperatures of 30 and 22 °C, respectively. The obtained results indicate the need for further research in the direction of a more detailed study of the population stability of bean weevils during fumigation with gas mixtures.
