In this study we assessed the relationship between the laboratory and field performance of different isofemale lines of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley. In comparative assays, we used three rare mitochondrial haplotypes as genetic markers of the isofemale lines, and by introgressing these mitochondrial haplotypes into each of 15 genetically different nuclear lines, also tested the assumption that ...

Ephestia kuehniella üretiminde uygun besin kullanılması kitle üretim için oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada kuehniella’nın bazı biyolojik özellikleri kontrol (500 g buğday unu, +500 kepeği), ve besinde unu miktarı sabit tutularak oluşturulan 1 nolu (250 kepeği +250 mısır unu), 2 (225 +225 + 50 balık 3 (213 +212 75 nbalık 4 (200 +200 100 unu) 5 (188 +188 125 6 (175 +175 150 besinlerde karşılaştırı...

Commercial shipments of Orius spp. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) commonly include water and protein, the latter typically supplied by eggs from a moth such as Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller). To determine whether modified dietary conditions might improve predation, newly eclosed adult female Orius pumilio (Champion) were fed on E. kuehniella eggs plus encapsulated water, encapsulated 5% sucrose soluti...

Structuring the information and knowledge needed to implement a factory, as well as doing its control and management by computer systems, is the purpose of the meta-model and solutions here presented. This meta-model includes: an object-oriented model to structure the needed information and knowledge; a model for manufacturing systems; a prototype that integrates the two previously referred mod...

Spindles from the gonads of five insect species were examined after conventional preparation for electron microscopy. The aim of the study was to determine (1) the range of variation of the spindle membranes between mitotic and meiotic cells and (2) the correlation of possible differences with the microtubule content of the spindles. The study involved four moth species, Ephestia kuehniella, Ph...

Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Mediterranean flour moth, is a major pest of stored food products, causing significant economic losses. Understanding the life history and population dynamics E. crucial for developing effective management strategies improving sustainability industry. In this study, we conducted an age-stage, two-sex table analysis reared on maize oat flours....

A series of laboratory bioassays were conducted for the evaluation of the insecticidal efficacy of an isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) against larvae of the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), under various temperature-relative humidity (r.h.) conditions. The fungus was applied at four doses (0, 8 × 106...
