Abstract

Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) is a plague that infest store products, mainly grains. One alternative to control it is the use of natural products, highlighting the essential oils. It was evaluated the repellent activity of the essential oil of Bursera graveolens Jacq. ex L. towards T. castaneum. Results shows significant differences (p<0.005) between the treated area and the non trated area at 0.02, and 0.2 µL/cm2 doses after two hours of exposition. Repellent activity decreased when the time of exposition increased. In conclusión, the essential oil of B. graveolens could be an effective repellent against plague insects, being also this report the first related to repellency in this plant.
