This study aimed to verify the level of repellent and mortality effect two chemical substances (DEET 2-undecanone) seven essential oils (EOs), Allium sativum, Artemisia annua, Ocimum basilicum, Lavandula angustifolia, Eucalyptus globulus, Pinus sylvestris, Curcuma longa. The storage pests Tribolium confusum, Tenebrio molitor, Acanthoscelides obtectus were exposed various concentrations in an olfactometer-and-mortality test. effects recorded 24-48-72 h after treatments applied.

Climatic extremes have been gathering momentum since the 1880s and are believed to be a long-term factor increasing mortality of Scots pine trees, Pinus sylvestris (L.) in Europe. Weather monitoring over past 120 years shows that, Central Europe, surface air temperatures grow at rate 0.18°C per decade. Many changes due these abiotic stressors already visible forests’ canopy biodiversity. But influence rise temperature precipitation deficiency brings one more player into this die-back scheme....
Insect adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are neuropeptides with a wide range of actions, including the control insect energy metabolism. These also known to be involved in defence system against toxins and pathogens. In this study, our aim was demonstrate whether application external AKHs significantly enhances efficacy entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea model species (firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus) pest (Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum). It...
Recently, an outbreak of Ips sexdentatus (Börner, 1776) has caused considerable damage in the pine forests Czech Republic. As historical data on biology this pest are scarce due to its rare occurrence recent decades, our work focused monitoring flight activity and voltinism investigating methods for during growing season. Observations were conducted from March September 2021 2022 at three sites using 12 Theysohn traps with four types pheromone lures (ACUMIPROTECT, ACUWIT, SEXOWIT Pheagr IAC)...
