or red palm weevil (RPW) is a destructive insect pest of major cultivated palms such as coconut, date and oil palm. One of the control management of RPW is trunk injection using monocrotophos or methamidophos, but these chemicals are found to affect ecosystems and human health. Thus, we aimed to determine a bio-pesticide to replace these synthetic chemicals. We tested the antifeedant activity of three eugenol-based compounds as potential control agent against RPW larvae in vitro condition for two weeks. All these compounds show significant effect as feeding deterrent agent on 4th instar larvae, while WN16 (4-allyl-2-methoxy-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzyloxy)-benzene) shows the highest feeding deterrent index (FDI = 64.42%). Here we present the data regarding the biological aspect on treated RPW larvae as well as antifeedant activity index of these eugenol derived compounds.
红棕象甲（RPW）是椰子、枣椰和油棕等主要栽培棕榈树的一种毁灭性害虫。红棕象甲的防治管理方法之一是使用久效磷或甲胺磷进行树干注射，但发现这些化学物质会影响生态系统和人类健康。因此，我们旨在确定一种生物农药来替代这些合成化学物质。我们在体外条件下测试了三种丁香酚基化合物作为潜在防治剂对红棕象甲幼虫的拒食活性，为期两周。所有这些化合物对四龄幼虫都表现出显著的拒食作用，而WN16（4-烯丙基-2-甲氧基-1-(4-三氟甲基-苄氧基)-苯）表现出最高的拒食指数（FDI = 64.42%）。在此，我们展示了关于经处理的红棕象甲幼虫生物学方面的数据以及这些丁香酚衍生化合物的拒食活性指数。
