Estimating the Susceptibility of Four Wheat Cultivars to the Saw-Toothed Grain Beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae). [PDF]

Int J Food Sci, 2022
The quality and quantity of wheat are severely affected by insect infestation during storage. Excessive use of chemical pesticides has resulted in several environmental issues, in addition to the emergence of pesticide‐resistant strains. Extensive research has been conducted to determine sustainable alternatives, such as the selection and cultivation ...

Review of the existing maximum residue levels for cypermethrins according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the group of pesticide active substances cypermethrins. To assess the occurrence of cypermethrin, alpha‐cypermethrin, zeta‐cypermethrin, beta‐cypermethrin residues in plants, processed ...

Wolbachia causes cytoplasmic incompatibility but not male‐killing in a grain pest beetle

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6570-6587, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The endosymbiotic Wolbachia is one of the most common intracellular bacteria known in arthropods and nematodes. Its ability for reproductive manipulation can cause unequal inheritance to male and female offspring, allowing the manipulator to spread, but potentially also impact the evolutionary dynamics of infected hosts.

Electrophysiological and behavioural responses of Stegobium paniceum to volatile compounds from Chinese medicinal plant materials

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 3697-3703, August 2022., 2022
Four compounds identified from the volatiles of Chinese medicinal plant materials (CMPMs) are perceived by the peripheral olfactory system of S. paniceum adults and are able to individually elicit a positive chemotaxis in S. paniceum adults confirming the role of chemical cues in host‐plant detection and selection of this pest.

Evaluation of a quasi‐dimeric eugenol derivative as repellent against the stored grain insect pest Sitophilus oryzae (Coleoptera Curculionidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 6, Page 2588-2595, June 2022., 2022
The eugenol derivative showed greater repellence and persistence against the stored grain insect pest Sitophilus oryzae than eugenol but with a less intense smell. Abstract BACKGROUND Essential oils (EOs) and their chemical components are often proposed as an alternative to synthetic pesticides for pest control of foodstuff insect pests. However, their

Essential Oils from Artemisia herba alba Asso., Maticaria Recutita L., and Dittrichia Viscosa L. (Asteraceae): A Promising Source of Eco‐Friendly Agents to Control Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. Warehouse Pest

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Callosobruchus maculatus (Fab.) (C. maculatus) is one of the major pests of legume seeds in storage causing significant damage, leading to food insecurity and low income for farmers. This work was planned to develop eco‐friendly agents from essential oils of Artemisia herba alba Asso. (AEO), Maticaria Recutita L. (MEO), and Dittrichia Viscosa L.

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.
