Susceptibility of different genotypes of rice to Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky 1885 attack (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2016
Rice (Oryza spp.), the most important cereal in the world, is grown and consumed in all continents. Brazil is among the top ten producing countries. Stored grains can be attacked by pests (rodents, insects, fungi and mites) that cause serious qualitative

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Sublethal Effects of Chlorantraniliprole on the Mobility Patterns of Sitophilus spp.: Implications for Pest Management

Insects
Chlorantraniliprole, an anthranilic diamide insecticide, has emerged as a promising solution for controlling agricultural pests because of its low mammalian toxicity and selectivity towards non-target organisms.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

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.

Bio‐Insecticidal Efficacy of Phytochemicals in Acorus calamus Rhizome and Piper longum Plant Extracts as Green Alternatives to Synthetic Insecticides Against Tribolium castaneum

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To meet the increasing food demands of a growing global population, agricultural productivity must rise substantially. However, the excessive reliance on synthetic pesticides has resulted in the development of resistance among stored‐product insect pests, necessitating the search for sustainable and eco‐friendly alternatives. The present study
