Abstract
The current study aimed to test the effect of five vegetable oils, sunflower, sesame, pistachio field, soybean, and almond with inhibitors insecticide (Lufenuron), using four different mixing ratios (pesticide:vegetable oil) 1: 0.5, 1:1, 1: 2, and 1: 3 and four different concentrations 50, 100, 150, and 200 ppm for each mixing ratio on the % activation on the % mortality of grain beetle larvae Trogoderma granarium. The study results showed that the effect of mixture Sunflower oil at mixing 1:2 gave the highest activation 2.33 in the toxicity of insecticide on the grain beetle larvae of the third instar, while the sunflower oil, sesame, and Peanut oil gave at mixture with the pesticide Lufenuron by mixing oil 1: 1 ratio antagonism reached 0.48, 0.56, and 0.63 respectively.
