Reducing Postharvest Loss of Stored Grains Using Plant‐Based Biopesticides: A Review of Past Research Efforts

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The world population is projected to be 9.1 billion by the year 2050, and about 70% extra food will be required. One of the main challenges regarding food security is postharvest loss due to insect pests. The overall postharvest grain losses for sub‐Saharan Africa could be as high as US$4 billion/year.

Competition among species of stored-product psocids (Psocoptera) in stored grain.

PLoS ONE, 2014
We evaluated the competition among stored-product psocid species by conducting two series of laboratory experiments. In the first series, three species of Liposcelididae were used: Liposcelis bostrychophila, Liposcelis decolor, and Liposcelis paeta. Five

Repellency of forty‐one aromatic plant species to the Asian citrus psyllid, vector of the bacterium associated with huanglongbing

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 23, Page 12940-12948, December 2020., 2020
The repellency of 41 species to Diaphorina citri was determined. Volatiles of five plant species were highly effective in repelling Diaphorina citri. Repellency was as high as 76%. These five species offer potential for managing citrus Huanglongbing. Abstract Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating citrus disease worldwide.
