This invention belongs to the field of
plant protection, specifically relating to the application of
eugenol in the control of wheat
aphid. The research of this invention demonstrates the repellent, contact-killing, and
fumigation effects of
eugenol on the
agricultural pest wheat
aphid. The effects of
eugenol on the growth and development of the
agricultural pest wheat
aphid were assessed using sex life table
software, evaluating key parameters of wheat aphid growth and development and
population changes at sublethal concentrations. The results showed that eugenol treatment can adversely affect the growth and development of wheat aphids, such as reducing survival and reproductive rates, and decreasing
population size. Furthermore, eugenol has a certain synergistic effect with commonly used insecticides. Therefore, this invention has application value in the control of wheat aphids.
