BACKGROUND: Identifying stored-product insects is essential for granary management. Automated, computer-based classification methods are rapidly developing in many areas. A hyperspectral imaging technique could potentially be developed to identify stored-product insect species and geographical strains. This study tested and adapted the technique using four geographical strains of each of two in...

The need for organic rice among the people continues to increase in line with declining level of public health due COVID-19 pandemic. Consuming is one way maintain body immunity, but susceptible attack by Sitophilus Oryzae L, a type weevil which main pest postharvest commodities. Proper storage address food security during In this study, prototype an anti-rice (Sytophilus L) was made using Rasp...

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh serbuk daun pandan wangi dan jeruk purut terhadap mortalitas moncong beras pengaruhnya susut bobot Penelitian menggunakan percobaan rancagan acak lengkap dengan 7 perlakuan kontrol ...

Rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae L.) is a primary insect pest of stored grain. The development of resistance resulted in the application of synthetic insecticides. In recent years many plant essential oils have provided potential alternatives to currently used insect control agents. The Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus molle L. var. areira (L.) DC.) (Anacardiaceae) has different biological properti...

The accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for predicting the chronological age of adults of the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.); the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.); and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), three pests of stored grain, was examined. NIRS-predicted age correlated well with actual age of these three species. Age predictions in S. oryzae by...

This study was carried out to determine the post-treatment efficacy of three local Beauveria bassiana isolates by applying them against adults common stored-product pests, Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Rhyzopertha dominica F. (Col.: Bostrichidae) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis Silvanidae). 
 For biological tests, wheat grains were mixed with fungal spores at 1000 ppm (w/w...

In the present study, a total of 17 indigenous entomopathogenic fungal (EPF) isolates (Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. – 14, Clonostachys rosea (Link) Schroers 2, Isaria farinosa (Holmsk.) Fr. 1) obtained from soil samples collected Antalya province (southwestern part Turkey) and three commercial EPF products [i.e. Priority® (Paecilomyces fumosoroseus), Nibortem® (Verticillium lecanii) Nostal...
