Are insect meals prone to insect infestation during storage? Development of major storage insects on substrates based on Tenebrio molitor larvae meal
(2020)Insect meal is a new agricultural commodity that will be produced in huge quantities in the near future and will be treated as all traditional agricultural commodities, i.e., insects will be harvested, processed, transported ... -
Bioassays with diatomaceous earth formulations: Effect of species co-occurrence, size of vials and application technique
(2012)Two series of laboratory bioassays were carried out in order to evaluate the effect of the simultaneous presence of two insect species inside the experimental vials and the effect of different sizes (50, 65, 90, 145 mm in ... -
Biological activity of two new pyrrole derivatives against stored-product species: Influence of temperature and relative humidity
(2016)Members of the pyrrole group are likely to have interesting properties that merit additional investigation as insecticides at the post-harvest stages of agricultural commodities. In the present work, the insecticidal effect ... -
Cereal yield gaps across Europe
(2018)Europe accounts for around 20% of the global cereal production and is a net exporter of ca. 15% of that production. Increasing global demand for cereals justifies questions as to where and by how much Europe's production ... -
Combining electrostatic powder with an insecticide: effect on stored-product beetles and on the commodity
(2016)BACKROUND: The opportunity to reduce the amount of pirimiphos-methyl applied to grain by formulating it in an electrostatic powder was investigated. The insecticidal efficacy of pirimiphos-methyl in EC formulation or ... -
Comparative Population Growth of the Khapra Beetle (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and the Warehouse Beetle (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) on Wheat and Rice
(2022)We evaluated the relative population growth of two stored-product insect species in the genus Trogoderma, the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), and the warehouse beetle, Trogoderma ... -
Effect of different iron compounds on wheat and gluten-free breads
(2010)Background: Iron fortification of bread often results in sub-optimal quality of the final product due to undesirable changes in the physical characteristics and sensory properties of the bread. In this study both the form ... -
Effects of addition of nutritionally improved straw in dairy cow diets at 2 starch levels
(2020)The objective of this experiment was to explore the effects of different dietary neutral detergent fiber sources within diets of high-producing dairy cattle with low or high starch concentrations on milk yield and composition, ... -
Efficacy of Modified Atmospheres on Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(2019)We investigated the efficacy of two types of modified atmospheres (MA) against adults of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, under laboratory conditions. ... -
Hazardous toxic metal(loid)s in top- and deep-soils during the transformation of aquaculture ponds restored to farmland
(2022)The pollution risks due to the soil migration of toxic metal(loid)s (TMs) are a greatly hazard to ecological environment as well as animal and human health. Previous studies have primarily focused on surface contamination ... -
Influence of temperature and relative humidity on the insecticidal efficacy of metarhizium anisopliae against larvae of ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on wheat
(2017)A series of laboratory bioassays were conducted for the evaluation of the insecticidal efficacy of an isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) against larvae of the Mediterranean ... -
Insecticidal effect of diatomaceous earth and pirimiphos-methyl against phosphine-susceptible and phosphine-resistant populations of two stored product beetle species
(2021)In the present study, we evaluated the insecticidal efficacy of diatomaceous earth (DE) and pirimiphos-methyl for the control of phosphine-susceptible and phosphine-resistant populations of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and ... -
Insecticidal effect of Dittrichia viscosa lyophilized epicuticular material against four major stored-product beetle species on wheat
(2020)We examined the insecticidal effect of lyophilized epicuticular material of the ruderal species Dittrichia viscosa in four major stored-product beetle species. Furthermore, the potential of this material in progeny production ... -
Insecticidal effect of the combined application of spinosad, Beauveria bassiana and diatomaceous earth for the control of Tribolium confusum
(2016)Laboratory bioassays were carried out to evaluate the insecticidal effect of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) germinated conidia, a commercial formulation of diatomaceous earth and a liquid ... -
Insecticidal efficacy of phosphine fumigation at low pressure against major stored-product insect species in a commercial dried fig processing facility
(2016)We investigated the application of phosphine at low pressure for various exposure durations against major stored-product insects in a commercial dried fig processing facility in Central Greece. Trials were carried out ... -
