研究了西瓜种皮粉对玉米象的生物杀虫作用。玉米与甜瓜、西瓜种皮粉按每50g玉米粉含0.5g、1.0g、1.5g、2.0g、2.5g、3.0g的剂量混合，分别感染5只雄性和5只雌性。28天的玉米。甜瓜种皮粉显著降低了小卷蛾的产卵量和出生率。玉米（P0.05）。因此，甜瓜种子种皮粉可作为一种粮食保护剂用于仓储害虫管理系统。关键词：生物杀虫潜力，西瓜，玉米象，玉米籽粒
The bio-insecticidal potentials of testa powder of melon, Citrullus vulgaris for reducing infestation of maize grains by the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais was investigated. Maize mixed with testa powder of melon, Citrullus vulgaris at the dosage rates of 0.5g, 1.0g, 1.5g, 2.0g, 2.5g and 3.0g per 50g of maize was infested with five males and five females of S. zeamais for twenty-eight days. Melon testa powder significantly reduced the oviposition and natality of S. zeamais (P 0.05). Testa powder of melon seed could therefore be used as a grain protectant in storage pest management systems. Keywords: Bio-insecticidal potentials, Citrullus vulgaris, Sitophilus zeamais, maize grains
