Control of<i>Trogoderma granarium</i>(Coleoptera: Dermestidae) Using High Temperatures Open
Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, is one of the world's most important pests of stored grain. Common in Africa and Asia, it is a quarantine insect for much of the rest of the world where methyl bromide has traditionally been used…

Modelling of population dynamics of insects in any ecosystem with several distributions of insect development: A Review Open
Predicting the occurrence of insects with a high accuracy requires the estimation of insect development time and the variation among individuals for each life stage and species under different environmental conditions such as fluctuating t…

Static and dynamic methods to determine adsorption isotherms of hemp seed (<i>Cannabis sativa</i> L.) with different percentages of dockage Open
Adsorption and desorption isotherms of hemp seeds with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of dockage were determined using the salt solution static (SSS) method. The wet hemp seeds with 0% dockage were also dried at 30℃ with 50% RH, 35℃ with 30% an…

Mortality and movement of Cryptolestes ferrugineus and Rhyzopertha dominica in response to cooling in 300-kg grain bulks Open
We examined the effect of low temperatures on insect population density and mortality of adult and immature stages of Cryptolestes ferrugineus and Rhyzopertha dominica in three barrels holding 300 kg of wheat each. Barrels were infested wi…

Effects of Tetracycline and Rifampicin Treatments on the Fecundity of the<i>Wolbachia</i>-Infected Host,<i>Tribolium confusum</i>(Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Open
We examined the effects of Wolbachia bacteria on the reproduction of the flour beetle Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) using different antibiotics and across generations. We first removed infections by rearing insects on a di…

Detection of ochratoxin a in stored barley using Near-Infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging Open
Near-Infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging system operated in the wavelength region of 1000 to 1600 nm was used to detect ochratoxin A contaminated barley kernels. Five concentration levels of ochratoxin A contaminated barley kernels, five …

Relationship between insecticidal efficacy and oil absorption capacity of inert dusts against sitophilus spp. Open
Sixteen inert dusts were tested for their effects on bulk density, oil absorption capacity and insecticidal activity against Sitophilus oryzae and Sitophilus granarius: Sipernat 50S, Protector (Italy), Celite 209, SilicoSec (Germany), Drya…
