Potential repellency of cedarwood oil from a novel extraction method to stored product insects [PDF]
, 2018 Producers lose 10-30% of crops during storage, processing, and marketing after harvest each year to stored product insects (1,2). Globally, there has been a rise in insecticide resistance to phosphine, the most common fumigant for these pests (3).

, 2019 Lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica Fab.) is a storage pest of the Bostrichidae family. Insecticidal efficacy of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) extract was investigated on four types of surfaces: ceramics, glass, treated and raw wood. Mortality rate of lesser grain borer was observed through three different exposures (4, 24 and 48 h) with the aim of

ENTOMONRice grains of 20 varieties were tested for their physical and biochemical basis of resistance against lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera, Bostrichidae). Physical parameters such as grain length x breadth, thousand seed weight, and grain hardness exhibited significant differences among tested varieties.
