Responses to colour and host odour cues in three cereal pest species, in the context of ecology and control [PDF]

, 2015
Many insects show a greater attraction to multimodal cues, e.g. odour and colour combined, than to either cue alone. Despite the potential to apply the knowledge to improve control strategies, studies of multiple stimuli have not been undertaken for ...

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

Advances in ozone technology for preservation of grains and end products: Application techniques, control of microbial contaminants, mitigation of mycotoxins, impact on quality, and regulatory approvals

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 3, May 2025.
Abstract Ozone has emerged as a promising technology for preserving stored grains and end products. Its efficiency as a biocide and the absence of residues make it an attractive alternative to traditional chemical methods of food preservation. This study reviews recent advancements in ozone application techniques, including continuous flow treatments ...

Pairing Residual Contact Insecticide Use With Long‐Lasting Insecticide‐Incorporated Netting to Reduce Dispersal and Damage by Stored Product Insects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 501-514, May 2025.
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 ...

Ruta Angustifolia Essential Oil: Behavioral and Insecticidal Effects Against Larvae and Adults of Tribolium castaneum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract The study aims to evaluate the behavioral and insecticidal effects of Ruta angustifolia EO (RAEO) against larvae and adults of a major pest insect, Tribolium castaneum. RAEO exhibited a strong repellency against both adults and larvae where percentages as high as 74 and 72 % of PR (Percentage of Repellency) were recorded respectively, at 0.47 ...
