MORTALITY RATE OF SITOPHILUS ZEAMAIS IN LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE

Agrointek : Jurnal Teknologi Industri Pertanian, 2021
Maize is one of important comodities contributed as food consumption and other bioproducts to the world. As high demand of maize in global must be followed its avalaibility in markets. Decline the post-harvest losses along maize distribution will not only keep the avalaibility in markets, but also solve the food security.

Phytochemical Analysis and Insecticidal Activity of Four Plant Extracts Against Maize Weevil and Larger Grain Borer

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Plant‐based biopesticides provide a sustainable alternative to synthetic insecticides for managing postharvest losses caused by maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) and larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus). This study evaluated the phytochemical composition and insecticidal activity of methanolic extracts of Lantana camara, Citrus sinensis, Moringa

Effect of inert dust on the mortality of Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Abstract The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, 1855 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), generally reaches pest status in stored grain. Chemical control is the most used method for population suppression, which can cause adverse impacts, thus creating a need for alternatives such as using inert powders. The present work aims to verify the effect of

Contact and Spatial Repellency of Natural and Synthetic Repellents Toward Dermestes maculatus (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) Beetle Larvae

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dermestes maculatus, commonly known as the hide beetle, is a species of dermestid beetle notorious for its destructive behavior, making it a threat to wool fabrics, leather, and other animal‐based materials often found in museum collections. The use of chemical insecticides requires that the individual get in contact with the treated substrate, with ...

Experimental Disentangling of the Effects of Initial Population Size and Resource Availability on Weevil Population Dynamics

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1278-1284, December 2025.
Initial population size and resource availability are key factors regulating population dynamics, with growth rates typically declining as populations increase but rising with greater resources. In maize weevils, however, we found an unexpected negative effect of resource availability on intrinsic growth rates, contrary to conventional expectations. We
