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...
Sitophilus oryzae, Tribolium castaneum, confusum, Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Rhyzopertha dominica, Tenebrio molitor, Trogoderma granarium, Acarus siro, and Alphitobius diaperinus represent significant arthropod stored-product pests worldwide. To combat these noxious arthropods, the current study examines pesticidal effect of essential oils (EOs) derived from four aromatic plants, i.e., Illicium verum Hook. F., Citrus reticulata Blanco, Monodora myristica (Gaertn.) Dunal, Xylopia aethiopica...
With over 1000 species of pests causing losses in both the quantity and quality stored food, insect contamination poses significant challenges. The present study assesses efficacy combination λ-cyhalothrin chlorantraniliprole against four key storage pests—Trogoderma granarium, Sitophilus oryzae, Rhyzopertha dominica, Tribolium castaneum. Laboratory bioassays demonstrated species-dependent mortality, with S. oryzae R. dominica suffering 100% mortality several tested scenarios. A 90-day...
Chlorantraniliprole, an anthranilic diamide insecticide, has emerged as a promising solution for controlling agricultural pests because of its low mammalian toxicity and selectivity towards non-target organisms. This study investigated the sublethal effects chlorantraniliprole on mobility behavior two significant stored-product pests, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Contact assays revealed varying susceptibility levels between species, with S. showing...
Abstract BACKGROUND Mortality caused by various pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids has been studied for stored‐product insects in the past, yet limited information exists on sublethal effects they can induce to Oryzaephilus surinamensis . In current study, of deltamethrin, λ‐cyhalothrin, α‐cypermethrin, etofenprox, mixture acetamiprid with d‐tetramethrin piperonyl butoxide mobility O. presence or absence a food source was investigated. RESULTS Lethal concentrations (LCs) were lower...
Sublethal exposure to insecticides can adversely impact various biological and behavioral characteristics of insects. Although α-cypermethrin has been previously tested for its effects on control Alphitobius diaperinus, there is no knowledge about the effect this insecticide asymmetries mating success. Μales at all exposures (control, LC10, LC30), that first approached their mate, showed right-biased tendency (approached mate from right side) in recognition. Females, however, variation...
