The Apiaceae family, known for aromatic plants producing bioactive essential oils (EOs), holds significance across sectors, including agrochemicals. This study evaluated the insecticidal potential of four EOs from Crithmum maritimum L., Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague ex Turrill, Smyrnium olusatrum and Elwendia persica (Boiss.) Pimenov Kljuykov against various significant storage pests (Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Trogoderma granarium Everts, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), Tribolium castaneum...
Abstract Laboratory bioassays were carried out in order to evaluate the effectiveness of two diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations, Insecto and SilicoSec, against adults Rhyzopertha dominica (F) eight different grain commodities. The adherence DEs each was also measured. grains tested wheat, whole barley, peeled oats, rye, triticale, rice maize. These commodities treated with at three rates, 0.75, 1.0 1.5 g DE kg −1 grain. mortality R measured after 24 h, 48 7 days 14 exposure 26 °C 55% RH....
Bioassays were conducted in the laboratory to assess effect of diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations Insecto, SilicoSec, and PyriSec, on stored oat, rye, triticale, against adults rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val. The DEs tested at three dose rates, 0.75, 1, 1.5 g DE/kg grain. Adults two aforementioned species exposed all combinations grain-formulation-dose rate, 26°C 60% RH. Mortality DE-treated commodities was recorded after 24...
Aphid parasitoids of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) northeastern Iran were studied in this paper. A total 29 species are keyed and illustrated with line drawings. The aphidiines presented work have been reared from 42 aphid host taxa occurring on 49 plant a 33 sampling sites. Sixty-six aphidiine-aphid-plant associations presented. Trioxys metacarpalis sp. nov. Chaitaphis tenuicaudata Nevsky (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Kochia scoparia, is described. diversity based comparative...
Local potential competitor species are important determinants of the invasibility an environment even when widely recognized invasive concerned since it may compromise its establishment. Thus, outcome direct competition among khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium, and cosmopolitan lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae, thus likelihood establishment T. granarium under their co-occurrence, was here explored in paddy wheat, at temperatures between 25 35°C through...
The present contribution discusses the recent advances in biological control of stored-grain insects with entomopathogenic fungi (EF). Thus, effect formulated vs. unformulated strains EF and combinations other components, i.e. diatomaceous earths (DEs), chemical insecticides, natural products enemies against stored-product are reviewed. Very few formulations have been developed used, which invert emulsion formulation (water-in-oil type) is considered most important. A synergistic produced by...
Most insecticides commonly used in storage facilities are synthetic, an issue that generates concerns about food safety and public health. Therefore, the development of eco-friendly pest management tools is urgently needed. In present study, a 6% (w/w) Hazomalania voyronii essential oil-based nanoemulsion (HvNE) was developed evaluated for managing Tribolium confusum, T. castaneum, Tenebrio molitor, as wheat protectant. Larval adult mortality after 4, 8, 16 h, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 days, testing...
Tetranychus urticae is an important pest of tomato crops globally, affecting plant yield and growth. Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium robertsii have the potential to control T. urticae. We investigated influence two B. (i.e., WG-12 WG-19) isolates one M. (WG-02) isolate when colonizing different organs (leaves, stems, roots) their on growth plants, through foliar, root-dipping, seed-soaking application techniques. also examined acaricidal activity three against (female adults), spraying leaf...
The insecticidal and residual efficacy of three diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations, Insecto, PyriSec, SilicoSec, against Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on barley wheat was assessed. For this purpose, 4-kg lots were treated with the above-mentioned DE in dose rates (0.75, 1, 1.5 g/kg grain) stored at 26 degrees C. Samples these taken day storage, every 45 d, until completion a 450-d period storage. Bioassays conducted by exposing S. adults to samples, C 57% RH. In bioassays, evaluated recording...
