Abstract

The results of present study conducted on the Laboratory of advance entomology \ Department of biology \ Faculty of Education for Girls \ University of Kufa, during the years 2018-2019 for evaluating The efficiency of Nanotechnology and biological control and the effect of two plant extracts on the different immature stages of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyrallidae). eggs, first and fourth larval instars. The cold aqueous extract of castor Ricinus communis and Nerium oleander leaves ,from which different concentrations ( 1,2,3 and 4) mg \ ml were prepared in the Laboratory. The experiments  include the enhancement of these plant extracts of toxic nature with chemically prepared particles, silver nanoparticles, and conducting multiple experiments for the same instars of the insect, which was treated with aqueous  plant extracts .The statistical results as well as the observation during different stages of the experiments were superior  of these nanoextracts over plant extracts in the mortality of eggs and  first and fourth  latval instars. Experiments indicated that the mortality percentages when treated with aqueous leaves extract of castor  were (76, 91, 96) %  respectively while the same instars were treated with nano extract of castor was(83.3 ,92.3 ,98.6 )% respectivly . The leaves extract  of N.oleander was (86.6%, 96.6%, 99.4%) compared with (93.3, 100, 100) % respectively of the nanoparticle of the eggs and larvae of the first and fourth phases at 4 mg / ml. It also proved that the first instar was the most sensitive to the extract of the fourth instar, where the highest mortality percentages was (96.6, 100) % compared with (86.6, 93.3)% respectively of the first and fourth larval instars  when treated with and nano of N. oleander and R.communis  respectively.
