Abstract
Various extracts of Wikstroemia chamaedaphne were evaluated their acaricidal activities against Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) and Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) in laboratory. According to our study, the Wikstroemia chamaedaphne extracts had significant acaricidal activities against T. cinnabarinus and T. urticae. In this study, the mean LC50 value for T. cinnabarinus and T. urticae were 0.79 mg/mL for methanol extracts of W. chamaedaphne, which were liquid partitioned from the crude methanol extracts using the water bath immersion method. Conventional column chromatography was used to further purify active components from methanol partition extracts. The obtained 7th chromatographic fraction caused a mortality rate of 94.21 % for T. cinnabarinus, 91.52 % for T. urticae, and the 10th chromatographic fraction caused a mortality rate of 85.92 % for T. cinnabarinus, 88.21 % for T. urticae.
