Ethyl formate diluted with nitrogen is an effective biosecurity treatment for brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). [PDF]
This research found that ethyl formate effectively controls adult brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys) regardless of dormancy state or temperature, at concentrations nine times lower than previous studies. Abstract BACKGROUND The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) (BSMB) is a biosecurity threat globally. Its most likely avenue of

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Gas leakage and distribution characteristics of methyl bromide and sulfuryl fluoride during fumigations in a pilot flour mill [PDF]
The half-loss time (HLT) is used as an indicator to quantify gas leakage rates during methyl bromide (MB) and sulfuryl fluoride (SF) fumigations. Comparisons of HLTs between three MB and three SF fumigations were quantified in the Hal Ross pilot flour ...

From Old-Generation to Next-Generation Nematicides
The phaseout of methyl bromide and the ban on, or withdrawal of, other toxic soil fumigants and non-fumigant nematicides belonging to the organophosphate and carbamate groups are leading to changes in nematode-control strategies.

Physical methods for soil disinfestation in intensive agriculture: Old methods and new approaches [PDF]
Physical soil disinfestation is worldwide mainly applied in protected cropping systems or in small-scale intensive field crops. Continuous cropping of monocultures or different host plants for the same pest or pathogen often leads to heavily infested ...

Study on insecticidal properties of nanoemulsion Mentha longifolia L. (Lamiaceae) essential oil against Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
Nowadays, nanoemulsions are considered by many researchers because of their unique physiochemical properties such as small particle size, long-term physical stability and transparency. In this research, fumigant toxicity of Mentha longifolia L. essential
