الملخص

Termites, Microtermes thoracalis, is a major insect pest in all sugarcane plantations in the Sudan. All recommended insecticides are long persisting and might have a negative impact on the sugarcane plantation environment. Some plant substances were proved active against insect pests on other crops. The objective of this research was to test some of these plants for termite control. Some of these plant substances were tested as aqueous solutions in termite hot spot area under sugarcane at Gezira University research farm. The plant substances were clitoria, capparis, lantana and bitter apple with a standard insecticide chlorpyrifos and a control. Each plant substance was made as aqueous solution 16mg/ml (w/v ) and the chlorpyrifos was 4.8 mg/ml (w/v ) The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Sugarcane setts were dipped in the plant substance solutions and control while the standard was sprayed, as recommended on sugarcane setts. Data collected were germination percentage after two, four, six and eight weeks after planting (WAP) while the damage due to termite was recorded eight WAP. The results showed significant differences between plant substances and the control for germination percentage eight WAP. However, the highest germination percentage was recorded by chlorpyrifos. The digged out sugar cane setts 8 WAP showed high infestation among plant substances and the control in the range of 70 - 84 %. while the best performance was reflected by the standard chlorpyrifos. It was concluded that the insecticide character of long persistence was fundamental for termite control in sugarcane.
