- Abstract:
- ... Natural products derived from plant materials, such as wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid; PA), have shown toxicity to insects in previous studies; however, the impact of this substance on physiology and life history of stored product insects is unknown. Thus, the current study aimed to determine the effects of PA on two prominent stored product moths, Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyral ...

- Abstract:
- ... BACKGROUND: Prevention is the first line of defense in mitigating losses of post‐harvest crops. Long‐lasting insecticide treated (LLIN) could be used in food facilities to expose insects to insecticide at different areas within a facility. Prior research has shown that single short exposures reduce movement and longer exposures increase mortality for stored‐product insect pests, but we do not know ...

- Abstract:
- ... Determining feeding relationships is central to understanding biological control potential in the field. However, methods to differentiate actual (or realized) feeding relationships from potential feeding relationships is lacking especially for small, generalist predators such as lady beetles. In this study, we used DNA metabarcoding approaches to characterize actual feeding relationships of lady ...

- Abstract:

With less emphasis on fumigation after harvest, due to the phase‐out of methyl bromide and increasing phosphine resistance, diversified postharvest integrated pest management (IPM) programs are needed. Here, we synthesize knowledge on semiochemical‐mediated, behaviorally‐based tactics, wherein semiochemicals are deployed to manipulate pest behavior to protect commodities. We note that beyond monit ...

The secondary cell wall is a vanguard of resistance to these stresses. Fusarium thapsinum (Fusarium stalk rot) and Macrophomina phaseolina (charcoal rot) cause internal damage to the stalks of the drought tolerant C4 grass, sorghum (Sorghu ...

- Abstract:
- ... Protectants applied to grain can reduce damage caused by insect feeding during storage. Although these protectants are effective against many external feeders, they may also reduce damage caused by internal feeders as they often interact with the exterior surface of the grain during their larval or adult stages to feed or oviposit. For this study, we investigated impacts of Storicide® II applied t ...

Resistance to heat or cold treatments has not been documented in stored product insects, but repeated use of ineffective treatments could lead to adaptive tolerance. Trogoderma variabile (Dermestidae) is a common pest of stored products, and the larval stage is highly resistant to cold an ...

The larval gut of the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) is associated with a microbial consortium that fulfills these metabolic roles. While members of the co ...

Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, is endemic to Central America, but invaded Africa with disastrous consequences for maize production. Its main competitor is Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, the maize weevil, which is cosmopolitan. These insects c ...

Despite the fact that they are both considered generalists, they differ in their ability to colonize Panicum virgatum cultivars. For example, S. flava colonizes both P. virgatum cv. Summer and P. virgatum cv. Kanlow whereas S. graminum can only colonize Summer ...

Traps baited with pheromone and kairomone lures are commonly used to monitor for the presence of insects in warehouses or flour mills, for example. However, two nonmutually exclusive components, env ...

Midges were fed either negative control bloodmeals or bloodmeals containing EHDV-2 and t ...
