Abstract
- This work reports the larvicidal action of two formulations of Amanita muscaria against Musca domestica. Two methods of extraction were tested: an aqueous extract from dried, powdered basidiomes (DPB); and an extract from fresh basidiomes liquefied in water (FLB). The mortality caused by the DPB extract varied from 14.67% to 100%. The efficiency of the FLB extract varied from 10.67% to 89.33%. The mean lethal concentration (LC50) of the DPB extract was approximately 1,931.02 ppm, whereas the LC50 for the FLB extract was about 30%. The extracted substances from these methods did not interfere with the development period of immatures and did not influence pupal weight. These results show the potential of A. muscaria extracts for controlling M. domestica. Foi relatada a ação larvicida de duas formulações de Amanita muscaria em Musca domestica. Dois métodos de extração foram testados: extrato aquoso de basidioma desidratado e triturado (BDT), e extrato de basidioma fresco liquefeito em água (BFL). A mortalidade causada pelo extrato BDT variou de 14,67% a 100%. A eficácia do extrato BFL variou de 10,67 a 89,33%. A concentração letal média (CL50) do extrato BDT foi de, aproximadamente, 1.931,02 ppm, enquanto que a CL50 do extrato BFL foi em torno de 30%. As substâncias extraídas por esses métodos de extração não interferiram no período de desenvolvimento dos imaturos e não influenciaram no peso pupal dos indivíduos. Esses resultados mostram o potencial de extratos de A. muscaria para o controle de M. domestica.
