Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Evert (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) is the most important stored pest and was first discovered in Jakarta grain storages 1972. Since then, quarantine procedures have been massively carried out to prevent khapra beetles spread Indonesia. In 2009, Indonesia has declared as free area from beetle. However, still import non-Khapra beetle countries supervision must be ...

Stored-product commodities are attacked by numerous insect species. The adulticidal effects of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) on grains remain uninvestigated. Thus, in the current study, seven doses EPNs Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae), Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) Steinernematidae), and feltiae (Filipjev) Steinernematidae) were inoculated wheat kerne...

The current study evaluated the bio-control activity of Sudanese isolates entomopathogenic-fungi against 3rd larval instars Khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) (Everts) in Sudan and morphologically molecularly characterized virulent isolates. Fungi were isolated using Galleria-baiting method tested larvae immersion-technique at concentration 1×107 conidia ml-1. Commercial product, Eco-Bb...

Abstract In the present study we examined effect of presence wheat bugs ( Eurygaster spp. and Aelia spp.) on mortality, progeny production infestation patterns three stored product insects, Trogoderma granarium Everts, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) Rhyzopertha dominica (F.). The bioassays were carried out under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °C, 60 5% relative humidity (r.h.) continuous darkness), 20 a...

Synthesis of bicyclic [1] and tricyclic [2] terpenoid lactones and the preliminary results of biological tests for their feeding deterrent activity [3] previously were presented. The tests, which were carried out on three storage pest insects: the grain weevil (Sitophilus granarius L.), the confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum Duv.) and the khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium Ev.), showed ...
