TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that the effectiveness of B. bassiana is fortified by the addition of DEs, but it varies among exposed insect species and commodities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different experimental setups used for determining insect movement was presented along with their advantages and limitations with special emphasis on factors influencing insect mobility, and practical difficulties and challenges associated with studies of insect movement under multiple gradients were discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation was done on an advanced evacuated tube-assisted solar drying system without and with load conditions at various water flow rates (10,L/h, 20, L/h and 30,L /h) to evaluate its performance analysis.

TL;DR: Lentil was relatively resistant and the other tested legumes were more susceptible hosts for feeding and population increase of C. maculatus, meaning the resistant host cultivar can be proposed to be incorporated into breeding programs to minimize the economic losses incurred by the cowpea weevil.

TL;DR: It is indicated that entomopathogenic fungi have an elevated potential to successfully manage the aforementioned coleopteran species on stored wheat.

TL;DR: An updated and comprehensive freely accessible record of the distribution and spread, biology, development, and ecology, host preferences, chemical ecology, detection, and monitoring, and management of the invasive larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus, is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical properties, and cooking and storage characteristics of functional brown rice (BR) prepared by parboiling (100°C, 15min) and microwave drying (100kW, 8-rpm, 91°C 40min) processes were investigated.

TL;DR: The T. vulgare EO could be considered as a potential wheat protectant for the management of important stored-product insects, however, its efficacy depends on the species and the life stage of the target pest.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of storage duration (0, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360 days) and temperature (4, 10, and 25°C) on proximate and nutritional components, and color properties of Mint Vanilla and Titicaca quinoa varieties were evaluated.

TL;DR: The E-nose has the capability to detect infested rice after four weeks of storage and had high response ability to the volatile components produced by rice weevil and red flour beetle after four months of storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, isofuranodiene derived from Smyrnium olusatrum L. (Apiales: Apiaceae) essential oil (EO), was nano-emulsified (3% w/w) to treat wheat kernels with two concentrations (500 and 1000ppm) against adults and larvae of three tenebrionid beetles attacking stored products.

TL;DR: The nutritional differences among different developmental stages identified are due to specificities of each stage (level of chitinization, motility, energy requirements and food intake habits), as the diet offered to the insects was the same.

TL;DR: It is suggested that VgR is critical for the uptake of Vg into oocytes and plays a vital role in female reproduction and may be an important potential target to disrupt insect reproduction for pest management by oral delivery of dsRNA.

TL;DR: Insecticidal bioassays implementing enzyme inhibitors revealed no effect on synergizing the toxicity of all the insecticides in the Lab-TG strain; however, enzyme inhibitors significantly synergized toxicity of pirimiphos-methyl in all the field strain suggesting the major involvement of metabolic mechanism associated with pirimips-methyl resistance.

TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory-scale and pilot-scale ozone disinfestation system for chickpea grains was developed, which is one of the acceptable and economically viable techniques for treating grains during storage for residue-free and environment-friendly nature.

TL;DR: Results showed that B. japonicum can be suggested to utilize, as an alternative for chemical fertilizers, to minimize cowpea infestation by C. maculatus, and could be helpful in developing integrated management of the pest oncowpea.

TL;DR: The resistant genotypes TVU13677; WC36 and WC66*5T were found to contain a higher amount of a subset of biochemical compounds as defensive compounds againstcowpea bruchid, revealing the resistance basis of cowpea seed biochemical compounds.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a method of using grain temperature statistical parameters to detect grain inventory modes (empty and aeration) based on DBSCAN (Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) algorithm.

TL;DR: In this article, the development, reproduction, and digestive enzyme activity of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) were evaluated on 12 rice cultivars under laboratory conditions [28.1°C, 60°5% RH, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L: D) h].

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of volatile organic compounds produced by four lactic acid bacterial strains isolated from maize grain silos on Fusarium verticillioides M3125 growth and fumonisin B1 (FB1) production were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of dockage and foreign materials (DFM) and shrunken and broken kernels (SBK) were determined during loading of wheat in a 10m diameter flat-bottom cylindrical bin.

TL;DR: The results highlight the urgent need for nationwide monitoring of insecticides control failure and resistance in stored pests for better management schemes and possible existence of simultaneous metabolic and altered action-site mechanisms of resistance to pyrethroids in Colombian populations.

TL;DR: This work provides some first data for the evaluation of the influence of short exposures to phosphine on adults and larvae of T. granarium, which may be very useful in creating an effective initial quantification plan for the control of this species.
