Variants in the Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrycidae) [PDF]
The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica, is a coleopteran pest of stored grains and is mainly controlled by phosphine fumigation, but the increase in phosphine-resistant populations threatens efficacy.

Competition of Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae on six sorghum varieties. [PDF]
AbstractWe tested the effect of simultaneous infestation by adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) and the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on six sorghum varieties. For this purpose, vials containing sorghum and either each species alone or both species were placed at 30 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Diatomaceous earth effects on weevils with different susceptibility standard to phosphine Efeito da terra de diatomácea sobre carunchos com diferentes padrões de susceptibilidade à fosfina [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the insecticide activity of diatomaceous earth (DE), at different temperatures, on two populations of Tribolium castaneum and Rhyzopertha dominica previously diagnosed as resistant and susceptible to phosphine.

The Genome of Rhyzopertha dominica (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae): Adaptation for Success. [PDF]
The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), is a major global pest of cereal grains. Infestations are difficult to control as larvae feed inside grain kernels, and many populations are resistant to both contact insecticides and fumigants. We sequenced the genome of R.

Evaluating the Long-Term Efficacy of Four Active Ingredients Against Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Stored Sorghum in the United States [PDF]
Grain protectants are insecticide formulations applied directly to raw grain to prevent and control insect infestations in bulk storage; however, their efficacy depends on insect species, commodity, and grain quality.

Ozone reduces lifespan and alters gene expression profiles in Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius). [PDF]
Rhyzopertha dominica is one of the most important stored grain pests that seriously damage rice and wheat. At present, the method of controlling stored grain pests mainly relies on insecticide fumigation. However, the excessive use of pesticides not only leaves pesticide residues, with harmful effects on human health and the environment, but also ...
