“…ME is a benzene-derived component, potential, and effective plant-derived synthetic chemical insecticide, and has a high knockdown effect because of the presence of more methoxy groups in it [29]. A synergistic effect of the combination of Diatomaceous Earth and Methyl Eugenol on R. dominica, T. confusum, S granaries, and S. zeamais has been reported by Erturk in 2021) [30].…”

During the offseason, when fresh food is not available, humans have to consume stored grain food. Unfortunately, these stored grains are later infested with many pests. Foods stored in bags and bins are very much susceptible to infestation with several pests which can cause extensive post-harvest losses, spoilage, and less demand in markets, causing a huge economic crisis. Hence, successful management of stored grain pests becomes necessary to prevent these from insect pests. Current approaches for their management are one of the promising goals, as it includes preventive practices, monitoring, sanitation, and identification of main pathogens. Different management strategies of all the common stored grain pests viz. grain weevils, grain borers, grain moths, flour moths, mealworms, grain and flour beetles, booklice, mites, and parasites are enlisted here.

“…Adopted primarily for the control of stored product pests, DEs have also found use against some household insects that live in a dry environment, for example bed bugs or agriculturally important insects. It is possible to use DEs against different arthropod pest taxa such as Acarina, Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Ixodida, Lepidoptera alone or when applied with other techniques (Zeni et al 2021;Ertürk 2021). There exist varying theories regarding the insecticidal effect of Des, and the prevailing belief is that DEs particles adhere to the insect cuticle, leading to desiccation and consequent death while abrasion also plays a complementary role by causing cuticular micro-wounds (Korunić 1998;Subramanyam and Roesli 2000;Vayias et al 2009).…”

The present study investigated the insecticidal efficacy of Diaterra®, a native diatomaceous earth, against two significant stored grain pests, the grain weevil (Sitophilus granarius L., Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst, Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). To control of insect pests in stores or warehouses, grain industry relies on synthetic insecticides, but they have significant environmental and health risks. Diatomaceous earth offers a natural and environmentally friendly alternative. In addition, it is safe for wildlife, leaves no residues, and effectively controls pests. In the study, different doses (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 g/m2) of diatomaceous earth were applied on concrete and wooden surface. A mortality of 100.0% was achieved for S. granarius on the wooden surface at a dose of 4g/m2 during the 96-hour and subsequent application periods, whereas for T. castaneum, this rate was recorded as 88.9% under the same dose and a 192-hour application period. On the concrete surface, a mortality rate of 100.0% was achieved for S. granarius at a dose of 4g/m2 after 120 hours of exposure. In contrast, for T. castaneum, this rate did not exceed 59.5% even with the same dose and a 192-hour application period. Under controlled laboratory conditions, a dose of 4 g/m2 of Diaterra® showed efficacy in managing S. granarius populations on wooden and concrete surfaces. The desired level of efficacy was not achieved for T. castaneum on either surface type. Based on the data obtained from this study, it can be concluded that prolonged exposure to diatomaceous earth leads to enhanced insecticidal efficacy against both S. granarius and T. castaneum on different surface types. This study emphasizes the importance of considering application duration and surface type as critical factors in maximizing the effectiveness of diatomaceous earth applications.

“…Samples were transferred to one-liter glass jars and the jar lids were covered with a fine mesh cloth to allow ventilation. To obtain adults of S. oryzae and S. granarius individuals, wheat samples were kept in climate cabinets (Nüve ID 501, Türkiye) for 60 days at 25°C temperature and 65±5% relative humidity condition (Işıkber, 2005;Ertürk, 2021). Grain samples were sieved (mesh size 0.85 mm) for isolation and insect species were identified (Freeman, 1980).…”

This study was conducted to determine the malathion resistance levels of two important stored grain pest beetles, Sitophilus oryzae L., 1763 and Sitophilus granarius L., 1758 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), collected from different provinces of Türkiye in the years 2017-2018. To control these pests, chemical insecticides have been widely used for a long time as a grain protectant in farmer warehouses, flour mills, or silos in many countries, including Türkiye. In the current study, insects were exposed to malathion for 24 hours to determine resistance rates. The highest resistance ratio to malathion in S. oryzae was found in the Adana-Kartepe population with 5.73-fold, and the lowest resistance was found in the İstanbul- Büyükçekmece population with 1.57-fold. While the Konya-Alibeyhöyüğü population of S. granarius had the highest resistance ratio of 6-fold, the lowest resistance rate of 2.54-fold was found in the population obtained from the same location but from a different warehouse. According to this study, we found that slight resistance developed in the populations of S. oryzae and S. granarius in Türkiye. In order to prevent the occurrence of resistance due to synthetic insecticides used against stored product pests, it is thought that various insecticide groups with different mechanisms of action should be used.
