“…These results coincide with the results of Mikami et al [27], where it is pointed out that diatomaceous earth is a mineral with insecticidal potential against the bean weevil, applied in doses of 1.0 g kg À1 to have a 100% mortality of the 3-8 days after application. They also coincide with those of [12,14,28,29], since they report that these inert powders have been used with great success in controlling large numbers of stored grain pests, among which are Oryzaephilus surinamensis, R. dominica, Tribolium castaneum, T. confusum, Cryptolestes ferrugineus, S. zeamais, S. granarius, S. oryzae, Prostephanus truncatus, Acanthoscelides obtectus, and Zabrotes subfasciatus.…”

Sustainability involving the conservation and/or enhancement of natural resources and environmental protection can be practiced with biorational insecticides or diatomaceous earth. Two researches were carried out; in one, the objective was to determine the efficacy of biorational insecticides in controlling chickpea leaf miner, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, without completely inhibiting the presence of parasitoids of this pest. Biorational insecticides were chlorantraniliprole, cyromazine and spinosad, and conventional insecticide was chlorpyrifos, which were similarly effective to control adults and larvae of Liriomyza. Most chickpea production in 2012-2013 (1993.3 and 1806.8 kg ha À1 ) was obtained where chlorantraniliprole and chlorpyrifos were applied, respectively, and where spinosad and cyromazine were applied also exceeded the performance of absolute control (1213.6 kg ha À1 ). In 2013-2014, the increased production was 1621.9 kg ha À1 with chlorantraniliprole and 1556.3 kg ha À1 with chlorpyrifos, significantly different from the absolute control that produced 1136.5 kg ha À1 . Earnings were MX$ 21011.7 in 2012-2013 and MX$ 16036.7 in 2013-2014 with chlorantraniliprole, while in the absolute control, earnings were MX$ 12305.1 and MX$ 11083.5. Chlorantraniliprole was the biorational insecticide that caused greater effect in the management of this pest of chickpea and crop yields. While in another research, the objective was to determine the efficacy of different doses of diatomaceous earth against Mexican bean weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus Boheman. An experiment was carried out in two phases: in first, one tested diatomaceous earth at doses of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 g kg À1 of seed, with samples at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days after application (daa), while in the second, the doses were 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 g kg À1 and samples at 10, 20, 30, and 40 daa. The parameters evaluated were weevil mortality and seed germination. The results indicated that the doses from 0.8 to 5.0 g kg À1 of diatomaceous earth efficiently controlled the Mexican bean weevil. The treatments did not inhibit seed germination.

“…For instance, it is used to control warehouse pests (Golob 1997;Subramanyam and Roesli 2000;Kljajić et al 2010) to protect plants against insects from different orders (Markó et al 2008;Mikami et al 2010;Muncha-Pelzer et al 2010) and also against various plant diseases (Glenn et al 1999;Glenn and Puterka 2005). It has a physical or deterrent mode of action (Subramanyam and Roesli 2000;Markó et al 2008) which allows its use in organic and IPM programmes according to European IPM directive 2009/128.…”

Sublethal effects of kaolin and the biopesticides Prestop-Mix and BotaniGard on metabolic rate, water loss and longevity in bumble bees (Bombus terrestris)

et al. 2015

Kaolin is an inert material with a broad range of applications, e.g. as an insecticide and as a filling substance in the formulation of biopesticides. Hence, bees that dispense biopesticides to the field in the context of entomovectoring are exposed to elevated risks because of sideeffects of those products. Here, we investigated with use of bumble bee workers of Bombus terrestris L. the lethal and sublethal effects of (i) pure kaolin, (ii) the biofungicide Prestop-Mix containing the parasitic fungus Gliocladium catenulatum and kaolin and (iii) the bioinsecticide BotaniGard containing the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and compared with wheat flour powder that we considered safe for bumble bees. As the most important result, treatment with kaolin increased the cuticular water loss and reduced the survival of treated bumble bees, while Prestop-Mix had no negative effect on longevity. BotaniGard caused mortality in the bumble bees because of the entomopathogenic spores it contained. In conclusion, our data indicated that substances used as 'inert materials' and in biocontrol agents which are used in IPM and organic farming systems may bring higher risks to bumble bees used in entomovector technology.

“…Based on the fact that all individuals were found dead, it is a chance that the specimens found in the packages were imported dead, after a pest control treatment in the country from where the beans were imported. Furthermore, seeds with burn marks suggest at least one heat treatment which can be sunning or artificial heating as both are efficient in controlling the Mexican bean beetle (Fields 1992;Chinwada and Giga 1996) but other physical, chemical or biological methods can be applied (Mikami et al 2010;Zekarias and Haile 2018;Iturralde-García et al 2020) and many of them are hard to traceback just from investigating the seeds.…”

Although beans are an important part of the human diet, their long-term storage is still problematic due to pest damage by seed beetles. This study provides data on a documented detection of Mexican bean beetle Zabrotes subfasciatus in Romania. A great number of individuals were found inside packages of small white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) imported from Syria and Ethiopia. Based on the investigation of the infested seeds, rearing and biology of the species, it is unlikely that this alien species is established in Romania. We also provide the first known record of Bruchidius glycyrhizae in Romania, based on its previously known distribution and the range of its host plants, it is more likely an overlooked native species.
