The invention is suitable for the technical field of
pest control, and provides application of cinnamyl
aldehyde in control of
agricultural pest macrosiphum avenae. The application effect of the cinnamyl
aldehyde in prevention and treatment of the
agricultural pest sitobion avenae is defined, and the application effect is specifically shown as follows: in the action activity, the cinnamyl
aldehyde has remarkable repelling, fumigating and contact killing effects on the
sitobion avenae; on the influence of growth and development, the cinnamyl aldehyde treatment can significantly prolong the period and the earlier stage of
reproduction of macrosiphum avenae, shorten the life of adults, the period of
reproduction and the earlier stage of
aphid production, reduce the amount of aphids produced by single female aphids, significantly reduce
population parameters such as intrinsic growth rate, weekly limit growth rate and net value-added rate, effectively inhibit
population growth, and improve the
survival rate of macrosiphum avenae. Meanwhile, the macrosiphum avenae is abnormal in embryonic development, difficult in
ecdysis, dead and malformation of winged aphids. In conclusion, the cinnamyl aldehyde has double effects of directly preventing and controlling the
sitobion avenae and inhibiting
population growth on the sitobion avenae, has the potential of being developed into a green
pesticide due to high safety and low residue, and provides a new way for comprehensive treatment of the sitobion avenae.
