Use of controlled atmospheres to enhance essential oil fumigant toxicity against Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis [PDF]

, 2003
The fumigant toxicity of selected essential oils was assessed against the Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis. Adult females and larvae were exposed to combinations of essential oil doses and increased carbon dioxide and decreased oxygen ...

The Inhibitory Activity of Salicylaldehyde Compounds on Aspergillus Species and Their Effects on Aflatoxin Production and Crop Seed Germination

Applied Sciences
Crops such as tree nuts, corn and peanut are highly susceptible to infestation by the aspergilli Aspergillus flavus or Aspergillus parasiticus and subsequent aflatoxin (AF) contamination, a serious threat to public food safety.

EFFECT OF ALLYL DISULFIDE FROM ESSENTIAL OIL OF GARLIC ON ADULTS OF FOUR SPECIES OF STORED GRAIN INSECTS, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), Tribolium castaneum (HBST.) AND Sitophilus oryzae {L.} • [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2005
Allyl disulfide, a major constituent of the essential oil garlic, Allium sativum, was tested against Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), c. maculatus (F.), Tribolium castaneum (Hbst.) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) for fumigant and contact toxicity.

Insecticidal and Detoxification Enzyme Inhibition Activities of Essential Oils for the Control of Pulse Beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) and Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

Molecules, 2023
Pulse beetle is the most harmful pest attacking stored grains and affecting quality and marketability. Continuous use of chemical-based pesticides against pulse beetle led to the development of insecticidal resistance; essential oils (EOs) can be an ...

Polymeric Sorbents as Energy‐Efficient Alternative to Cryogenic Distillation for Light Hydrocarbon Purification

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The transition from cryogenic distillation to polymeric sorbents for light hydrocarbon purification is crucial for energy and environmental sustainability. The polymeric sorbents are engineered to separate gas mixtures based on their specific properties.

Mathematical modelling of fumigant transport in stored grain [PDF]

, 2014
Computational fluid dynamics, analytical solutions, and mathematical modelling approaches are used to gain insights into the distribution of fumigant gas within farm-scale, grain storage silos. Both fan-forced and tablet fumigation are considered in this

Iron‐Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

Revolutionising Agricultural Sustainability: New ‘Furrow Tillage’ can Mitigate Short‐Term Soil‐to‐Atmosphere CO2 Flux and Promote Soil‐Plant‐Microbe Health

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Furrow tillage resolves the conventional‐vs.‐no‐tillage trade‐off by simultaneously cutting CO2 efflux to 2.0–3.0 g C m−2 d−1 and unlocking high nutrient availability for the rice rhizosphere. This scalable agronomic solution strengthens soil health, enhances plant physiology, reshapes microbial metabolism, and shifts paddy systems toward a net ...

Preparation and antimicrobial effect of a cinnamaldehyde-based sustained release fumigant tablet for grain storage

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2020
Currently, aluminum phosphide tablets have been extensively used as fumigant for grain storage because they could release phosphine that shows highly efficient anti-microorganism.
