Evaluation of zeolite dusts as grain protectants against Lepinotus reticulatus, Liposcelis decolor, Acarus siro and Stegobium paniceum

Paraskevi Agrafioti et al.

Summary: This study tested the insecticidal effect of two zeolite formulations on wheat against four stored-product insect species. Two of the species showed high susceptibility to the zeolite formulations, while the other two species exhibited lower mortality rates, even at the highest concentration tested. This study provides valuable data on the toxicity of zeolites against these four insect species, for which limited information was previously available.

Insecticidal Effect of an Enhanced Attapulgite for the Control of Four Stored-Product Beetle Species

Evagelia Lampiri et al.

Summary: This study examined the insecticidal effect of three different dust formulations on four major stored-product beetle species. The results showed that oregano compounds in combination with attapulgite were effective in controlling populations of Sitophilus oryzae and Tribolium confusum, but less effective on Rhyzopertha dominica.

Insecticidal effect of graphene against three stored-product beetle species on wheat

Ioannis Charalambos Moisidis et al.

Summary: The efficacy of two formulations of graphene powders against three insect species was tested on wheat. The results showed that increasing the concentration of graphene increased adult mortality and decreased progeny production. Both formulations showed similar results, with one species being more susceptible than the other two. The highest concentrations of graphene resulted in 100% mortality for all three species.

Mortality and progeny production of four stored-product insect species on three grain commodities treated with Beauveria bassiana and diatomaceous earths

Waqas Wakil et al.

Summary: The laboratory bioassays demonstrated that the combination of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana with diatomaceous earths increased mortality rates of various insect species, with the highest effectiveness observed against the psocid Liposcelis paeta. Additionally, a higher number of dead insects were found on wheat compared to rice or maize.

Diatomaceous Earth for Arthropod Pest Control: Back to the Future

Valeria Zeni et al.

Summary: The use of diatomaceous earths (DEs) in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs shows significant promise in controlling a wide range of arthropod pests. DEs, a naturally occurring sedimentary rock composed of fossilized diatoms, have been effective in controlling stored product pests and some household insects in dry environments. Challenges related to the real-world applications and adoption of DEs in IPM protocols are also discussed.
