Behavioral interactions between Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum: the first colonizer matters
(2015)There is lack of knowledge on the interactions between kernel aging and the simultaneous infestation by insects, both internal and external feeders. In the present paper, we report results obtained in arena-olfactometer ... -
Behavioral responses of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky adults to conditioned grain kernels
(2013)Laboratory experiments were conducted in order to assess the intra- and inter-specific interactions in cereal kernels and behavioral responses of maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) adults. For that purpose, conditioning of ... -
Comparison of spinosad with three traditional grain protectants against Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) and Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) at different temperatures
(2013)The insecticidal effects of deltamethrin, chlorpyriphos-methyl, pirimiphos-methyl, and spinosad were evaluated against adults of Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) and larvae of Ephestia kuehniella ... -
Effect of Short Exposures to Spinetoram Against Three Stored-Product Beetle Species
(2012)Laboratory bioassays were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of two formulations of spinetoram, water dispersible granules (WG), and suspension concentrate (SC-NC), against three major stored-grain beetle species, ... -
Effect of uneven distribution of spinetoram-treated wheat and rice on mortality and progeny production of Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val
(2012)Laboratory bioassays were carried out in order to evaluate the effectiveness of spinetoram on rice and wheat in layer and mixture treatment applications against three major stored-grain beetle species, Rhyzopertha dominica, ... -
Efficacy and adherence ratio of diatomaceous earth and spinosad in three wheat varieties against three stored-product insect pests
(2010)Laboratory tests were carried out in order to evaluate the efficacy of three diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations; Protector, SilicoSec, and Insecto, and one spinosad dust formulation in three commercially available wheat ... -
Efficacy of Deltamethrin Against Stored-Product Beetles at Short Exposure Intervals or on a Partially Treated Rice Mass
(2015)Stored-product insects can potentially be exposed to grain protectants for variable time periods. Adults of three species, the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae), the granary weevil ... -
Efficacy of spinosad and methoprene, applied alone or in combination, against six stored-product insect species
(2011)Efficacy of the insecticides spinosad and methoprene, applied alone or in combination to wheat, was evaluated against six stored-product insect species, Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus oryzae, S. granarius, Cryptolestes ... -
Evaluation of spinetoram and spinosad for control of Prostephanus truncatus, Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus oryzae, and Tribolium confusum on stored grains under laboratory tests
(2014)Spinetoram and spinosad have been evaluated against certain stored-product insect pests with success but there are no data available on the comparison of the efficacy of these two novel compounds in stored grains. Thus, ... -
Evaluation of three novel diatomaceous earths against three stored-grain beetle species on wheat and maize
(2015)The insecticidal effect of three diatomaceous earths (DEs), that contained different active ingredients, was evaluated under laboratory conditions for the control of adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica ... -
Insecticidal effect of six entomopathogenic nematode strains against Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
(2012)The insecticidal effect of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae), Heterorhabditis megidis Poinar, Jackson and Klein (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae) and two strains of Steinernema carpocapsae ... -
Mortality of Four Stored Product Pests in Stored Wheat When Exposed to Doses of Three Entomopathogenic Nematodes
(2010)The insecticidal effect of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae), Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) (Nematoda: Steinernematidae), and Steinernema feltiae (Filipjev) (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) ... -
Organic farming-compatible insecticides against the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) in peach orchards
(2006)Three products allowed in organic farming (kaolin, mineral oil and insecticidal soap) as alternatives to chemical insecticides, were evaluated for the control of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) in a peach orchard. Their efficacy ...
