One of the dangerous pests of leguminous plants is the cowpea seed beetle
(
Callosobruchus maculates F.) and the pests of grain products and seeds is Khapra
beetle (
Trogoderma granarium ), which damage the plant generative organs, and its
harmfulness constantly increasing.
C. maculatus develops on pea seeds, various legumes, chickpeas, cowpea,
chickasano pea, and other legumes, with the exception of soybeans and beans. India
produces around 12.65 million tons of pulses per year and nearly 8.5% of this is lost
during post harvested handling and storage
Khapra beetle infestation can spoil other valuable trade goods and threaten
significant economic losses if introduced to a new area. Handling or consuming
contaminated grain and seed products can lead to health issues such as skin irritation
and gastrointestinal distress. It is considered one of the 100 worst invasive species in the
world.
Infestations are difficult to control because of the insect's ability to survive
without food for long periods, its preference for dry conditions and low-moisture food,
and its resistance to many insecticides.
Wide spread and economic damage to pests of leguminous crops and grain products
is a pressing issue in agriculture.
C. maculates and
T. granarium cause great harm to
leguminous crops in Uzbekistan.
The aim of our work was a comparative assessment of the insecticidal activity of
derivatives of quinozolin-4-on hydroxlorides relative to imago
C. maculates and
T. granarium Compounds based on quinozolin-4-on hydroxlorides, which have insecticidal activity
have been synthesized at the Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances of the Academy
of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The derivatives of quinozolin-4-on hydroxlorides were evaluated for insecticidal
activity on
Callosobruchus maculates and
Trogoderma granarium , an important insect
pest of leguminous crops. At the end of the experiment, recorded mortality was 96.6%-
89.5% at the 1.0 mg/ml and 0.1 mg/ml concentration of 3-propilquinozolin-4-on
hydroxlorides used for imago
C. maculates insect. Efficiency of 3-propilquinozolin-4-
on hydroxlorides at the 1.0 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml and 0.01mg/ml after 24 h. exposure was
76.0%, 69.5% and 48.0% against
T. granarium .
Based on the results of screening studies, it was found that the biological
effectiveness of 3-propylquinozolin-4-one hydrochlorides, 3-isoamylquinozolin-4-one
hydrochloride at concentrations of 1.0 mg/ml and 0.1 mg/ml was higher in relation to
the
C. maculates than to the
T. granarium .
It is recommended to continue further field studies of the synthesized substances
quinozolin-4-on hydroxlorides for insecticidal activity and to study it in detail.
