Abstract
The study was accomplished at the Crop protection and Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Rajshahi University to evaluate the insecticidal activity of Ni (II) Cystine against red flour beetle. The main aim of this research is to evaluate the insecticidal activity of Ni (ii) cystine against the red flour beetle. Residual film bioassay and fumigation bioassay test were done and four doses of stock solution viz. S1: 2 ml, S2: 1 ml, S3: 0.5 ml and S4: 0.25 ml used in this study. Among them Residual film bioassay with S1 showed strong activity against red flour beetle while fumigation test showed no activity on T. casteneum. Highest mortality (70%) found in film method and LD50 found 0.62 mg cm-2 in film bioassay test. Therefore, this study reveals that residual film method and Ni (II) cysteine has potential insecticidal activity against red flour beetle.
Key Words: Film bioassay, Fumigation bioassay, Red flour beetle and Mortality
