Sources of Resistance to the Maize Weevil Sitophilus Zeamais in Tropical Maize

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012
سوسة الذرة، Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) (غمدية الأجنحة: Curculionidae)، هي من بين آفات التخزين الرئيسية التي تعزز انعدام الأمن الغذائي بين مزارعي الذرة. تعتبر المصادر الجديدة لمقاومة سوسة الذرة حاسمة في برنامج التكاثر الناجح لمعالجة تلف الحبوب بسبب آفات ما بعد الحصاد. كان الهدف من الدراسة هو تقييم المقاومة في الأنماط الجينية للذرة تجاه سوسة الذرة،

Low Rates of Kaolin in Different Application Periods Reduce Diaphorina citri Population and Huanglongbing Incidence in Commercial Citrus Orchards

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, and it has been disseminated by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, the vector of the causing agent Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Although processed kaolin reduces psyllid infestation, long‐term field data from commercial orchards are limited.

Robel Pole Method Can Estimate Cereal Rye Biomass to Optimize Termination Timing

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Fully realizing the benefits of cover crops and minimizing the yield penalty requires knowing when to terminate them. Cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) is the dominant cover crop used in the Midwest US, and previous work has shown that corn (Zea mays L.) yield penalties began to occur more frequently when cereal rye is at ∼1000 lb dry biomass ac ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Comparative Bioactivity of Bamboo Leaf Ash and Bularafa Diatomaceous Earth against Maize Weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2022
Maize is one of the major staple foods in Sub-Saharan Africa and there is serious loss in maize storage due to insect damage. This study compared the bioactivity of Bamboo Leaf Ash (BLA) and Bularafa Diatomaceous Earth (BDE) against Maize Weevil ...

Effects of Simultaneous Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus During Storage of Maize in Hermetic and Non‐Hermetic Conditions

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 465-472, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sitophilus zeamais (Mostschulsky), the maize weevil, and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, are two notorious insect pests of farm‐stored products in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). The goal of this study was to determine whether there were interactions between P. truncatus and S. zeamais during storage.
