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...
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...
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...
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...
Several species of the family Apiaceae are aromatic herbs that produce essential oils usable on an industrial scale for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food purposes. In particular, some oils, such as green insecticides example, may replace synthetic insecticides, keeping most their efficacy avoiding environmental pollution or human poisoning. present study, we explored insecticidal potential Ridolfia segetum (L.) Moris oil (EO) against three different pests: Culex quinquefasciatus Say, Musca...
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 Old-World bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a significant threat to crops worldwide and has become resistant traditional synthetic insecticides. present study investigated the pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) Metarhizium robertsii (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) strain WG-04 or Beauveria bassiana Cordycipitaceae) WG-10, an nematode (EPN) species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora against second fourth instar larvae H. armigera. Both fungal were evaluated,...
The invasive dermestid khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium, is an important pest of stored products that subject to strict phytosanitary measures. In this study, we conducted a demographic analysis species at 30, 35 and 40°C, combining deterministic stochastic approaches. net reproductive rate, the intrinsic rate increase, finite increase doubling time did not differ significantly between 30 35°C, while 40°C detected negative values time. Briere model fit data well with respect increase....
The khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), is one of the most destructive insect species stored food worldwide and subjected to strict phytosanitary legislations. In present study, we evaluated egg hatching larval mortality T. on concrete surfaces treated with six insecticides (i.e., α-cypermethrin, chlorfenapyr, deltamethrin, pirimiphos-methyl, pyriproxyfen, s-methoprene) that are registered in Greece for surface treatment exhibit a broad spectrum different...
