The mhibitory rate of orange skin extract WIth800ppm concentration IS 85.7%. At the same concentrationthe inhibitory rates of petals of annual fluffy, cmnamon ,Artemisia argyi, Rhizoma Kaempferiae and Houttuyrnacordata are 78.1 %, 76.4%, 74.4%, 67.8% and 54.3%,respectively, With the exception of petals of annual fluffythe SIX kinds of extracts have differently repellent Impactson adults and larvae of Tribouum. castaneurn. But all theseven kinds of extracts have not ObVIOUScontact-toxicity toadults and larvae of Triboliurn castaneum .
Introdution
Both in China and abroad researchers have paid attention tothe developments of botanical matenals as insecticides,because botanical material has the charactenstics ofabundance, cheap price, human and animal safety, nopollution to grams and no pest resistance to msecticides. In1983 Zhang Xmg and Zhao Shanhuan in China gave thepnmary experiment results of controlling Siiophnluszearnais (Motschulsky) With several botanical matenalsYao Kang and Yang Changju (1984) studied the fumigationeffect of litsea CItrate 011 on Bruchus rufmwnus Boheman.L1 Guangcan, et al.

Materials and Methods
Insects for experiments
At 27 ± 1°C temperature and 75% ± 5% R. H. Triooiium.castaneum. (Herbst) was reared m coarse wheat meal(moisture content 13.5 % ± 0.5 % ).
Botanical extracts for experiments
Acetone extracts were prepared WIth tangenne skm,orange, cinnamon, Rhizoma Kaempfenae, petals of annualfluffy, Artemisia argyi and Houttuyrua cordata, etc. Atfirst, botanical matenals were dned m the sun and crushedinto powders by motor gnnder. Each of 50 g powders wereImmersed m pure acetone for three days at roomtemperature. Then extracted With Soxhlet's extractor on66°Cwater bath until the liquid flowed out from branch pipeof the extractor became colourless At last a concentratorennched extracts, producing a paste botanical extracts.According to the need of treatments the paste extract wasdissolved m acetone, using for preparation of the desiredsolution.

After the cap of the dish was covered, asheet of blue cloth was used for shading, making the larvaeto scatter naturally. Every treatment was repeated for threetimes.

Results and Analysis
Inhibitory impacts of seven botanical extracts onpopulation formation of Tribolium castaneum
Mter one month the inhibItory Impact of each treatmenton filial generation formation of Tribolium castaneumwere checked, as shown m Figure 1From fIgure 1 It could be found that the InhIbitory rates of
800ppm extracts of tangenne skin, orange skin, petals ofannual fluffy, cinnamon, Artemisia argyi, RhizomaKaempfenae and Houttuyrna cordata used for inhibiting thepopulation production of Tribolium castaneum were93.4%,85.7%,78.1%,76.4%,74.4%,67.8% and54.3%, respectively Among them 800ppm extract oftangerine skin had the best mlubitory Impact and made anObVIOUSdifference compared With the extract of Houttuymacordata FIve concentration gradients of the extract ofHouttuyrua cordata were used for treatments and all theinhibitory rates were below 60%, as shown m Figure 1.The mlubitory rates of 400ppm extracts of tangerine andorange skins used for inhibition of Tribolium castaneumwere 72.9 % and 78.4 %, with no ObVIOUSdifferencebetween them. From treatment the mlubitory Impacts of400ppm cinnamon and petals of annual fluffy on Tribolium.castaneum were very close, amounting to 67.3 % and65.4%, respectively.As far as five concentration gradients for the same kind of
botanical extract was concerned, the higher theconcentration of extract, the stronger mlubitory impact ithas. The inhibitory rates of the tangenne skm extract with800,400,200, 100 and 50 ppm concentrations are 93.4 % ,72.9%, 61.3%, 57.7% and 43.2%, respectively. Amongthem the mhibitory impact of 800ppm concentration wasvery outstanding and made a great difference between100ppm and 50ppm concentrations. Three treatments of800, 400 and 200ppm concentrations had mhibitory Impacton the population formation of Tribolium. castaneum,amounting to 85.7 %, 78.4 % and 65.2 % The inhibitoryeffectiveness between 400 and 200ppm concentrations madeno obvious differenceThe extracts whose inhibitory rates below 50% or who
have no inhibitory effect on the population production ofTribolucm. casianeumi were 50ppm tangerine skin extract,orange skin extract below 100ppm concentration, extracts ofcinnamon and petals of annual fluffy under 200ppmconcentration, and extracts of Artemisia argyl, RhizomaKaempfenae and Houttuyrua cordata below 400 ppmconcentra tion
Repellent impacts of seven botanical extracts on theadults and larvae of Triboleum castaneum
In Apnl 1995, the repellent Impacts of seven botanicalextracts to the adults and larvae of Triboleum castaneumwere observed. (Table 1)From Table 1 It could be found that SIXbotamcal extracts
of tangenne skm, orange skm, cmnamon, Rhizomakaempfenae, Artemisia argyl and Houttuynia cordata WIth800ppm concentration had dIfferent repellent effects on thelarvae of Triboltum castaneum. In general, the repellenteffectiveness of the extracts of RhlZoma Kaempfenae andHouttuynla cordata IS stronger than other botamcal extracts.

After 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours the repellent Impactson the larvae with Rhizoma kaempferiae extract were42.1 %, 50.0 % and 60.5 % respectively while commg up to48.2%, 60.5% and 50.0% with extracts of Houttuyrnacordata used for repelling the larvae. At the same time allseven botanical extracts had stronger repellent Impacts onthe adults of Triboleum castaneum. Among them therepellent impacts of tangenne skin, petals of annual fluffyand orange skm extracts were especially outstandmg. After24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours the repellent impacts oftangenne skin extract on adults were 96.6 % , 84.6 % and98.3%, and the extract of petals of annual fluffy used forthe treatment of adults had repellent rates of 98.3%,
80.0% and 92.2%. In addition, the repellent effect oforange skm extract on the adults of Triboleum. castaneumamounted to 94.7 % .
Contact-toxicity of seven botanical extracts toTribolium castaneum
In April 1995 the contact-toxicity of the extracts to theadults and larvae of Tribolnum. castaneum was mspected.Table 2 listed the mortality results of the adults and larvae ofTribohum castaneum treated WIth seven botanical extractsafter 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. The mortalities aftertreatment were all less than that of the control, showing nocontact- tOXICIty.

Summary and Discussion
Seven botanical extracts are used for inhibiting thepopulation formation of Tribolium castaneum and the bestinhibitory impact IS the tangerine skin extract WIth 800ppm
concentration. At the same concentration of 800ppm the
order of mhibitory rates of seven botanical extracts is
tangerine skm extract (93 . 4% ), orange skin extract( 85 . 7% ), petals of annual fluffy (78.1 % ), cinnamon
(76.4% ), Artemisia argyi (74.4 % ), Rhizoma Kaempferiae(67.8%) and Houttuynia cordata (54.3%). As for the five

concentration gradients of the same botanical extract, thebest inhibitory effectiveness is the 800ppm concentration.Within the range of experimental dosage all the extracts of
tangerine skin, orange skin, cinnamon, Artemisia argyi ,Rhizoma Kaempferiae and Houttuynia cordata have differentrepellent impacts on the adults of Tribolium castaneumwhile the effect of repelling the adults is better than thatonthe larvae. It is demonstrated that the extract of petals ofannual fluffy has a attractive effect to the larvae ofTribolium castaneum while displaying a stronger repellingeffect on the adults of Tribolium castaneum. It must bepointed out that the impacts mentioned above would furtherbe investigated so as to demonstrate either reaction

difference of various stages of Tribolium castaneum orexperimental error caused.In the range of experiment dosage the contact-toxicity of
seven botanical extracts to Triboleum castaneum are notdisplayed. It may well be that the repellent impacts ofbotanical extracts of tangerine skin, etc. on the adults ofTribolium castaneum are that extracts can notably inhibitthe population formation of Tribolium castaneum.It is notable that the investigations are only related to
influence of seven botanical extracts on numbers of F1generation of Triboleum castaneum. Thus it is necessaryto further study the effect on growth of the larve, pupation,emergence of adults, and persistent effective period.
