Evidence for Direct Neural Toxicity of a “Light” Oil on the Peripheral Nerves of Lightbrown Apple Moth
Peter D. Taverner,Robin V. Gunning,Peter Kolesik,Peter Thomas Bailey,Armet B. Inceoglu,Bruce D. Hammock,Richard T. Roush +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that oils displace the protective lipids by their solvent action, affecting nerve activity by increasing membrane permeability to ion exchange, one of the major mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance in insects is reduced neuronal sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-harvest disinfestation of lightbrown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana Walker (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), with an alkane
TL;DR: CPD was much more efficacious than C23 DC-Tron NR against exposed third-instar larvae and its potential use as a post-harvest treatment are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of integrated postharvest treatments against mixed innoculations of penicillium digitatum and geotrichum citri‐aurantii in ‘leng’ navel oranges (citrus sinensis)
TL;DR: Alternative treatments to limit sour rot and mould development on export fruit are examined including the use of non‐restricted fungicides in combination with gibberellic acid (GA3), generally regarded as safe (GRAS) compounds, and/or elevated temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of several insecticides alone and with horticultural mineral oils on light brown apple moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) eggs.
TL;DR: Several insecticides evaluated in this study are likely candidates for further work to develop treatments against E. postvittana eggs on nursery plants and mineral oils are ovicidal and combinations with insecticides are likely to be advantageous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of peracetic acid in ambient and warm water to control conidia of Penicillium digitatum
TL;DR: In Australian citrus packing facilities, green mould, caused by Penicillium digitatum, is constantly present as discussed by the authors, and sanitisers are commonly used in high pressure washers and added to fungicide dr...
