Abstract

Calcium cyanamide (CC) has been extensively reported as a plant growth regulator and N-resource fertilizer. CC phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity have also been showed on organisms such as microorganisms, schistosomes, mollusks, mammals and plants. But to date, little is known about its bioactivity against filth flies. In this study, housefly maggots, Musca domestica (L.), were used to measure biological activity of CC. Laboratory bioassays showed that CC (at a dosage of approximately 2 % (W/W)) resulted in average mortality rate of 37.67 % on day 1 and 100 % on day 2, compared with the average mortality rate of 34.51 % on day 1, 89.80 % on day 2 and 100 % on day 3 at dosage approximately 1 % (W/W). This outcome demonstrated that the application of CC could be used as a part of the filth fly-integrated management. In the relationship between CC concentrations and pH value evaluation, the performance of CC and non-CC larval rearing medium differed within pH. The positive relationship of concentration of CC dissolved in water with pH was supported by the formula y = 43.33x + 6.61 (R 2 = 0.95, p < 0.01). The results showed that housefly maggots’ death had a positive relationship with the pH of larval rearing medium.
