Studies on Efficacy of Botanical Oils and Leaf Powders Against Lesser Grain Borer, <i>Rhyzopertha dominica</i> (F.) in Stored Wheat
نویسندگان
چکیده
The experiment on biological activity of botanical oils and leaf powders against R. dominica was conducted under laboratory condition. results revealed that among the powder, castor oil 2.0% neem powder 1% achieved maximum adult mortality at 72 hr after treatment (91.67% 81.67%) as best grain protectants with least seed damage (4.33% 3.67%), weight loss (2.01% 1.04%), F1 emergence (3.67 4.33) high inhibition rate (97.25% 97.34%). This is due to their viscosity asphyxiation effect by powders. finding also do not affect germination wheat seed.

Phosphine Mortality Estimation for Simulation of Controlling Pest of Stored Grain: Lesser Grain Borer (Rhyzopertha dominica)
There is a world-wide need for the development of sustainable management strategies to control pest infestation and the development of phosphine (PH3) resistance in lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica). Computer simulation models can provide a relatively fast, safe and inexpensive way to weigh the merits of various management options. However, the usefulness of simulation models relies on ...
متن کاملEffect of temperature, exposure interval, and depth of diatomaceous earth treatment on distribution, mortality, and progeny production of lesser grain borer (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) in stored wheat.
Diatomaceous earth (DE) can be used as a surface treatment in stored wheat Triticum aestivum (L.) to control pest infestations. However, it is not known how the thickness of the DE-treated wheat layer or grain temperature impact effectiveness. Therefore, we conducted an experiment in growth chambers to assess the effect of different surface layers of hard winter wheat combined with DE on spatia...
