Local potential competitor species are important determinants of the invasibility of an environment even when widely recognized invasive species are concerned since it may compromise its establishment. Thus, the outcome of the direct competition among the invasive khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium, and the cosmopolitan species lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica and rice weevil, Sitophil...

We carried out trials on the commercial applications of nitrogen in different industrial structures, using phosphine-susceptible and -resistant populations three stored product beetle species, red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) Curculionidae), saw-toothed grain Oryzaephilus surinamensis Silvanidae). Twelve were conduct...

The insecticidal activities of extracts from 22 Malaysian medicinal plant 8 botanical families were tested against rice weevil: Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and lesser grain borer: Rhyzopertha dominica (F.). obtained using hexane, methanol, dichloromethane to extract potential biopesticides dried leaves. toxicity levels examined periodically based on antifeedant activity contact assays treated assay....

The rice industry today, very depends on synthetic pesticides to protect against losses. However, pose toxicity and give a negative effect humans, animals, the environment. Thus, this study aims observe effectiveness of natural powders such as neem ( Azadirachta indica ) black pepper Piper nigrum in controlling weevil Sitopylus oryzae during storage. Treatments included experiment comprised con...
