Abstract Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the most destructive pests stored products. Although there have been studies on potential use essential oils from plants in Artemisia genus as insecticides, no comprehensive bioactivity data are available efficacy vulgaris L. (Asterales: Asteraceae) oil and its chemical constituents stored-product pests. Therefore, this...


 Red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the major insect pests stored grains. Due to export legislation and zero-tolerance for live insects in trade commodities, extensive use synthetic insecticides practice eliminate pest infestations from lots. Currently, only acceptable chemical be used grain phosphine but due its excessive usage, are becomin...

This research assessed the fumigant activity of essential oil from Piper sancti-felicis Trel and five its components on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) biological model. Hydrodistillation was used for extraction oil, with separation identification compounds through gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The evaluated dispersion T. castaneum. majority found in EO were b-nerolidol ...

The insecticidal pyrrole chlorfenapyr was applied to concrete, vinyl tile, and plywood surfaces, at an application rate of 1.1 gAIm . Adult Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), the red flour beetle, and adult Tribolium confusum (Du Val), the confused flour beetle, were exposed for 2 and 4 h, removed, and held without food for 7 d post-exposure. All beetles survived the initial exposures, but survival ...

Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 49: 4.14.5. Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and T. confusum (Jaquelin du Val) are the most commonly occurring insect species in flour mills and in dam...

Abstract We examined the attraction of adults to six LEDs in red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), which is widespread as a stored grain insect. In experiment, bluish green and were more attractive than two UVs, blue, only females. On other hand, no difference was found among males. Next, we investigated relationship between light intensity attractiveness....
