Definitions
- the present invention relates to an insecticidal composition including Tasmannia stipitata extract and insecticidally effective oils such as petroleum oils, vegetable oils and/or fish oils.
- the invention also relates to a method of controlling arthropods pests using combinations of Tasmannia stipitata extract and insecticidally effective oils such as petroleum oils, vegetable oils and/or fish oils.
- Background Art The genus Tasmannia was formerly known as Drimys.
- Tasmannia stipitata also known previously as Tasmannia aromatica var. pendunculata or Drimys aromatica
- Dorrigo Pepper is commonly known as Dorrigo Pepper. It is rich in the compound polygodial.
- Polygodial is used in foods for its hot and spicy taste. It also has been found to have antifungal, antibacterial and insecticidal activity.
- Extracts of leave, stems and berries include polygodial as well as linalool, pinene , copaene, caryophyllene and bicyclo-germacrene.
- Petroleum oils or mineral oils are used as insecticides. Certain vegetable oils also have insecticidal activity. The most common is canola oil (rapeseed oil). Sesame oil is also used. Other vegetable oils having insecticidal activity include mustard oil. A third group of oils having insecticidal activity is fish oil. Disclosure of Invention
- the present invention provides an insecticidal or insect repellant composition including Tasmannia stipitata extract and an insecticidally effective oil selected from the group consisting of at least one petroleum oil. at least one vegetable oil, at least one fish oil and mixtures thereof.
- insecticidal activity the composition acts as an insect repellent. It has also been found that insects that come into contact with a surface that has been treated with the composition exhibit reduced feeding and oviposition (egg laying) behaviour. The composition may therefore be used to control insects.
- the present invention provides a method of controlling or killing insects comprising exposing an insect population to a composition including Tasmannia stipitata extract and an insecticidally effective oil selected from the group consisting of at least one petroleum oil, at least one vegetable oil, at least one fish oil and mixtures thereof.
- the present invention provides for the use of Tasmannia stipitata extract to enhance the insecticidal activity of an oil selected from the group consisting of at least one petroleum oil. at least one vegetable oil. at least one fish oil and mixtures thereof.
- the extract of Tasmannia stipitata is preferably prepared by solvent extraction of new leaves, new stems and berries.
- the concentration of polygodial in the extract will vary with the relative proportions of leaves, stems and berries extracted and will also vary with season. Concentrations of about 10% or more polygodial are desirable in the extract, preferably about 10-40% and more preferably about 25-38%.
- the concentration of Tasmannia stipitata extract in the insecticidal composition may range from about 0.01% w/v to about 1.25% w/v. preferably 0.02% w/v to 1.0% w/v, more preferably 0.03% w/v to 0.125%w/v.
- the desired concentration will vary with the polygodial content of the Tasmannia stipitata extract.
- the concentration of insecticidally effective oil in the insecticidal composition may range from about 0.25% w/v to about 1.5% w/v, preferably 0.5% to 1.0% w/v.
- composition of the invention may be applied to insect populations in a variety of ways, spraying is one preferred means.
- Application of a spray may be achieved using aerosols, suitably pressurised dispensers or other pumping devices.
- Modes for Carrying Out the Invention Materials 1. Samples of Tasmannia stipitata extract (hereinafter referred to as "stipitata extract”) were prepared by solvent extraction of mixtures of new leaves, new stems and berries of Tasmannia stipitata. These samples contained an average of 27.6% polygodial.
- the polygodial content of the samples was ascertained as follows: A known weight of stipitata extract was dissolved in 5 mL of ethanol with an internal standard of tridecane at a concentration of 2mg/mL. This solution was analysed by gas chromatography and the polygodial was assessed by area ratio to the tridecane and assumption that the response factor between the two compounds equals 1. The average percent of polygodial stated above is the average percent of volatiles in the extract.
- D-C-Tron Plus® spray oil, supplied by Ampol, active ingredient 839g/L petroleum oil (referred to in the tables as "Petroleum Oil 2").
- the leaf discs were placed on moist cotton wool covered with muslin netting. Water was added to the dish daily to prevent the desiccation of the leaf discs.
- the dose of product for testing was applied by means of a Potter Precision Spray Tower and a 5ml aliquot was used for each Petrie dish.
- the mortality (number killed) was assessed 24. 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Death was recognised by the absence of movement when the test mites were mechanically stimulated.
- the LD 0S of Stipitata extract alone is improved from 0.12% (a) to 0.08% (e) when blended with 1% canola oil (f).
- the LD Q5 of canola oil is improved from 3.71% (g) to 1% (f) with the addition of Stipitata extract.
- the LD 50 of Stipitata extract alone is improved from 0.03% (t) to 0.006% (u) when blended with 0.5% petroleum oil (v).
- the LD 50 of petroleum oil is simultaneously improved from 1.23% (w) to 0.5% (v) with the addition of Stipitata extract.
- the LD 50 of Stipitata extract is improved from 0.03% (t) to 0.017% (y) when blended with 1% canola oil (z).
- the LD 50 of canola oil is simultaneously improved from 1.69% (x) to 1% (z) with the addition of Stipitata extract
- Synergistic activity as an insecticide against a broad range of insects is expected including thrips, aphids. scales, mites, caterpillars, lice and flies.
- Industrial Applicability Combining Tasmannia stipitata extract with insecticidally effective oils including petroleum oil. vegetable oil, and fish oil gives a highly effective insecticidal composition.
- the proportion of active ingredients in the composition required for effective control of the insect pest can be substantially reduced compared to the proportion required for each ingredient when used alone.
- Phytotoxicity of the composition is significantly reduced by reduced actives levels, as is the cost of manufacturing the composition. It is expected that the insecticidal composition will be effective against a broad range of insects.
