Abstract
The Effects of Water Extracts from Tansy on Pea Leaf Weevil and Black Bean Aphid
Highlights
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) is a perennial from the aster family (Asteraceae) which is widespread in Poland
The purpose of the research conducted was to define the impact of the various aqueous extract concentrations, prepared from the dried and fresh tansy mass, on the feeding of pea leaf weevil and the mortality rate of black bean aphid
A similar dependence was demonstrated in the case of the extract of the fresh tansy mass – the extracts of higher concentrations, on all the dates, considerably limited the feeding of pea leaf weevil males
Summary
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) is a perennial from the aster family (Asteraceae) which is widespread in Poland. It is found mostly on agricultural waste grounds, waysides, river banks and on open spaces [Konieczny and Ślęzak 2019]. The tansy herb contains up to 0.6% and flowers from 1% to 1.5% of oil the main ingredient of which is toxic β-thujone (approximately 70%) [Hadaś and Derda 2014]. In the latest literature there is no data on the possibility of using the tansy extracts for other pest control. The essential oils from this plant were the object of tests as fumigants for the stored product pests [Karaborklu et al 2011] and against the host-seeking nymphs of the common tick Ixodes ricinus (L.)
