In recent years the number of available chemical pesticides has been significantly reduced and there have an urgent need for discovery alternative to products, as among others natural zeolites (zeolitic rocks). We determined mineralogical composition a specific continuous layers zeolitic rock sample (ZeotP) from Petrota, Ev-ros, Greece evaluated its oviposition deterrent effect olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Terphritidae). The tested zeolite contained 70 wt. % Clinoptilolite, 18...
High quality natural zeolites may have insecticidal effects and could be used for pest control. We determined the mineralogical chemical composition of four representative samples zeolite-rich rocks (zeot1–zeot4) collected from north-eastern Greece their oviposition deterrent effect olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Samples zeot1–zeot4 contain 54–70 wt.% clinoptilolite (HEU-type zeolite) are free fibrous minerals. Regarding composition, SiO2 between 64.29...
In recent years, the number of available chemical pesticides has been dramatically reduced, urging need for discovery alternatives to pesticide products such as, among others, natural zeolites (zeolitic rocks). We determined mineralogical and composition a specific continuous layer zeolitic rock sample (ZeotP) from Petrota, Evros, Greece, evaluated its oviposition-deterrent effect on olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae Gmelin (Diptera: Terphritidae). The tested zeolite contained 70 wt. %...
Abstract The zeolitic rocks of Akrotiri, on Santorini Island (Aegean Sea, Greece), can be grouped according to the zeolite minerals present. first group includes that contain only clinoptilolite, second contains clinoptilolite and mordenite third mordenite. Clinoptilolite accounts for up 56 wt.% 69 rocks. All samples feldspars (8–36 wt.%), clay (6–8 quartz (3–6 opal-CT (2 amphibole (2–4 wt.%) amorphous materials (4–7 wt.%). studied were classified chemically as andesites or dacites....
