Results obtained in studies can contribute to the advancement of science and innovative methods and techniques for developing practical activities. Reporting conditions that may restrict the implementation of research is critical to ensure the optimal development of further technical studies. The objective of this study was to assess the walking stability of R. dominica on a flat and smooth sur...

In the present work, we examined the insecticidal effect of spinosad, against adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae), the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on wheat and the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Col...

A web-based model was used to simulate the impact of aeration on population growth of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), and the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), in stored rough rice, Oryza sativa L., at Beaumont, TX. Simulations were run for each of 10 yr with 1 August as the start date; 31 December as the end date; beginning populations of 2.5 adults per metric ton (1000 k...

Medicinal and aromatic plants have popular recently to investigate their usability as natural resources in many areas due superior biological activity properties. Hypericum genus contained important medicinal plant species known worldwide. In this study, the ethanol extracts from different parts (flower, leaf stem) of three perforatum, heterophyllum, scabrum were screened for toxicity against a...
