ABSTRACT

Verificou-se a atividade repelente do timol, mentol, ácido salicílico e salicilato de metila sobre larvas de Boophilus microplus. Essas substâncias foram usadas em emulsões em dimetilsulfuxido aquoso a 1 por cento ou solução aquosa. Para cada substância foram testadas três concentrações, 1,0 por cento; 0,5 por cento e 0,25 por cento, com cinco repetições cada. Cerca de 100 larvas, com 21 dias de idade, foram inseridas na base de hastes de madeira para avaliação da repelência, a cada duas horas, totalizando 12 horas. As concentrações mais elevadas apontaram que as quatro substâncias causaram alteração no comportamento das larvas. Timol, com mortalidade de 65 por cento e 35 por cento de repelência e mentol e salicilato de metila, ambos com 80 por cento de repelência foram os mais eficientes.


The repellent activity of thymol, menthol, salicylic acid and methyl salicylate on Boophilus microplus larvae was studied. These substances were tested according to their solubility: emulsions in 1 percent aqueous dimethylsulphoxide or in pure water. Three concentrations were tested for each substance, 1.0 percent, 0.5 percent and 0.25 percent, with five repetitions for each. Approximately 100 larvae at 21 days of age were placed on the base of wooden sticks and then observed for repellent action every two hours, during twelve hours. The results obtained from the higher concentrations showed that the four substances caused alterations on the larvae behavior. However, thymol (65 percent of mortality and 35 percent of repellency), menthol (80 percent of repellency) and methyl salicylate (80 percent of repellency) were the most efficient.
