Certain compounds of plants, essential oils, with insecticidal properties have been considered as alternatives to chemical pesticides for pest control in recent years. In this study, the synergistic effect of diethyl maleate (DEM) on the toxicity ofCitrus reticulataBlanco (Rutaceae) peel essential oil against a stored-product insect pest, i.e. red flour beetle,Tribolium castaneumHerbst (Tenebrionidae) adults was studied. DEM [one part], combined with acetone [two parts], was applied onT. castaneumadults. Five concentrations of essential oil fromC. reticulatawere tested. Three replicates and 30 adult insects/replicate/each concentration were used. LC50values after 24 and 48 h of exposure were 33.8 and 28.2 μl/l air, respectively. Combination of the essential oil fromC. reticulatawith the synergist DEM after 24 and 48 h of exposure decreased the corresponding LC50values to 18.1 and 12.2 μl/l air, respectively. These results revealed that DEM can considerably improve the potency of essential oil fromC. reticulataand maybe applied successfully in the stored-product pest control programmes.
