ABSTRACT Long‐lasting insecticide‐incorporated netting (LLIN) can intercept insects and has shown promise for pest management before and after harvest in agriculture. Understanding how to incorporate LLIN into existing integrated pest management (IPM) programs, with other commonly used tactics like residual contact insecticides, can significantly ...

The widespread psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophila, is a stored-product pest of grain and farinaceous foods. Its ubiquity is in part due to its parthenogenetic reproduction which is shown to be the result of the presence of rickettsial bacteria in the ...

Chemical strategies to control psocid pests in Australian stored grain
In the past decade, psocids have emerged as important pests in grain storages in Australia. We evaluated the effectiveness of a range of chemical treatments including grain protectants, structural sprays and the fumigant phosphine and also investigated ...

Psocids (Psocoptera). Chapter 13.2 [PDF]
Among the 231 species of Psocoptera present in Europe, 49 (21.2%) are considered to be of alien origin. Th ey include 29 exotic introduced species and 20 cryptogenic species. Most of the exotic species originated from tropical and subtropical areas, essentially from Africa. Many of them are food pests, moving along with stored products. Th irty-nine of

Efficacy of grain protectants against four psocid species onmaize, rice and wheat [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Psocids are emerging pests in stored products, particularly in amylaceous commodities such as grains. Currently, their control is based on the use of fumigants and contact insecticides; however, newer data indicate that psocids are tolerant ...

Biology and Management of Psocids Infesting Stored Products
Previously regarded as minor nuisance pests, psocids belonging to the genus Liposcelis now pose a major problem for the effective protection of stored products worldwide. Here we examine the apparent biological and operational reasons behind this phenomenon and why conventional pest management seems to be failing. We investigate what is known about the

Automictic and Apomictic Parthenogenesis in Psocids (Insecta: Psocoptera)
Karyotypes and meiosis patterns in three obligatory thelytokous Psocoptera species have been studied for the first time. Females of Aaroniella badonneli (Danks) display 9 chiasmatic bivalents in oocyte metaphase I (2n = 18), hence meiosis is of the automictic type. Females of Ectopsocus meridionalis Ribaga and Valenzuela sp.
