The distribution and dispersal distances of insects outside of food processing and storage facilities potentially have an important influence on the population dynamics and spatial distribution of insects inside facilities. In this study, Trogoderma variabile Ballion and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) sex pheromone-baited trap captures outside and inside a food processing facility were measured...

Some octopamine agonists were found to suppress the calling behavior of the stored product Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella. Compounds were screened using a calling behavior bioassay using female P. interpunctella. Four active derivatives, with inhibitory activity at the nanomolar range, were identified in order of decreasing activity: 2-(1-phenylethylamino)-2-oxazoline > 2-(2-ethyl,6-me...

A series of studies was conducted to determine the effects of temperature on toxicity of the insect growth regulator methoprene to eggs and larvae of Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), the Indianmeal moth. When methoprene was applied to Kraft paper at the rate of 0.0003 mg of active ingredient [(AI)]/cm2, there was little direct toxicity against eggs of P. interpunctella, and temperature did not a...

The effects of shelving type, packaging, and release height on success of Trichogramma deion Pinto & Oatman (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) parasitizing Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs was studied under laboratory conditions. In trials on multipletiered gondola-type or open shelving units, with or without packaging, foraging success was evaluated by comparing paras...

Los efectos tóxicos de los aceites esenciales microcapsulados de Rosmarinus officinalis y de Thymus vulgaris fueron estudiados contra larvas de Plodia interpunctella. La actividad de aceite fue observada después de la contaminación de la...

The systematic and long-term use of pesticides in fruit plantations leads to the formation resistant pest populations. purpose this work was evaluate effectiveness entomophages acariphages for protection apple orchards. Against dominant Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus), Habrobracon hebetor (Say) used, which caught Krasnodar Territory using cassettes with caterpillars attractive H. hebetor. To determi...
