Factors affecting field performance of pheromone traps for tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne, and tobacco moth, Ephestia elutella
(2018)Tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), is one of the most serious insect pests of stored tobacco, and traps baited with the female-produced sex pheromone, serricornin, are used for monitoring ... -
From lethality to mortality: exploring the “grey area” of knockdown as an efficacy indicator of different insecticides against major storage insects using a lethality index
(2018)In the present work, a lethality index was applied for the evaluation of three insecticides with different modes of action, i.e., thiamethoxam, chlorfenapyr and lambda-cyhalothrin, as surface treatment against adults of ... -
Fumigant toxicity of six essential oils to the immature stages and adults of Tribolium confusum
(2013)Six essential oils derived from Lavandula hybrida, Laurus nobilis, Thuja orientalis, Citrus sinensis, Citrus limon, and Origanum vulgare were evaluated in a preliminary fumigation screening test on 10-, 25- and 31-days-old ... -
Genetic sexing strains for the population suppression of the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti: Aedes aegypti genetic sexing strains
(2021)Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arthropod-borne viruses including dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Vector population control methods are reviving to impede disease transmission. An efficient sex separation for male-only ... -
Graphical and demographic synopsis of the captive cohort method for estimating population age structure in the wild
(2012)The purpose of this paper is to complement the literature concerned with the captive cohort method for estimating age structure including (1) graphic techniques to visualize and thus better understand the underlying life ... -
The impact of fruit fly gut bacteria on the rearing of the parasitic wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(2020)Area-wide integrated pest management strategies against tephritid fruit flies include the release of fruit fly parasitic wasps in the target area. Mass rearing of parasitic wasps is essential for the efficient application ... -
Influence of temperature, relative humidity and protein content on the growth and development of larvae of the lesser mealworm, alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer)
(2021)The human population is rapidly growing, subsequently leading to an increase in food and protein demand. Therefore, alternative protein sources have to be evaluated as food and feed. Among the most promising alternative ... -
Influence of the presence of flour on the efficacy of low temperatures against stored product insects
(2021)The efficacy of low temperatures ranging from 0 to −15 °C was evaluated against all life stages of Tribolium confusum, adults of Oryzaephilus surinamensis and adults of Liposcelis bostrychophila. All species/life stages ... -
Insecticidal effect and impact of fitness of three diatomaceous earths on different maize hybrids for the eco-friendly control of the invasive stored-product pest Prostephanus truncatus (Horn)
(2018)Diatomaceous earths (DEs) are able to successfully protect grain commodities from noxious stored-product insect and mite infestations; however, their effectiveness may be moderated by the grain hybrid or variety they are ... -
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 phosphine for the control of different life stages of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)
(2021)The khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), is a serious pest of stored products worldwide, and a quarantine insect for many countries. The use of phosphine gas has been proven to be effective ... -
