Abstract

Most oriental medicinal plants in domestic markets have been imported, but these medicines are being easily exposed to many insect pests because of the poorness of storage facilities. This study was carried out to identify stored products insect pests occurring in 158 storage medicinal plants belonging to 134 genera of 67 families. No insect pests were not observed in 44 medicinal plants including Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant., Cassia sieboldii Presl., and Juniperus chinensis L. Most commonly observed stored products insect pests in the surveyed medicinal plants were the order of as follows; Ahasverus advena(Waltl) 12.3%, Lasioderma serricorne F. 11.5%, Oryzaephilus surinamensis L. 10.3%, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) 9.4%, Stegobium paniceum L. 8.4%, and Plodia interpunctella(Hbner) 7.9%. And these insects also are likely to prefer more root or rhizome part than the other ones. Based on these basic survey results, natural products researchers can obtain an important information in finding an insecticidal or fumigant compounds contained in the medicinal plants which any insect pests do not attack.

국내 유통 중인 한약재 대부분을 수입에 의존하고 있으나, 관리시설이 빈약하여 해충들에게 쉽게 노출될 수 있는 환경에 놓여 있다. 이 연구는 총 67과 134속 158종의 저장 한약재들을 대상으로 이들에서 발생하고 있는 저장물해충들을 조사하였다. 그 결과, Cassia 속의 육계, Juniperus 속의 자단향 그리고 Artemisia 속 애엽을 비롯한 44종의 한약재들에서는 곤충의 발생을 확인할 수 없었다. 한약재들에서 나타난 해충들의 발생빈도는 쌀머리대장 (A. advena) 12.3%, 권연벌레 (L. serricorne) 11.5%, 머리대장가는납작벌레 (O. surinamensis) 10.3%, 거짓쌀도둑거저리 (T. castaneum) 9.4%, 인삼벌레 (S. paniceum) 8.4% 그리고 화랑곡나방 (P. interpunctella) 7.9% 순이었다. 또한 이들 곤충들은 저장 중인 한약재들 중에서도 뿌리 또는 뿌리줄기 형태의 한약재들을 가장 선호한 것으로 보였다. 이 연구는 천연물 연구자들에게 곤충들이 발생하지 않았던 한약재들에 대한 기본 정보를 제공해줌으로써 향후 이들이 살충활성 또는 훈증활성물질을 탐색하는데 있어 이들 한약재들을 우선적으로 검토할 수 있는 유용한 자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
