“…This migration may have carried methopi-ene in sufficient quantities to cause sterilization in eclosing adults. Most of the methoprene concentrations in Table 2 exceed those reported by BENEZET (13) and KLJiiN and BuRKHOLDER (18) for adult sterility. Even with migration, it is still difficult to explain the degree of cigarette beetle control in those bales where initial insects were placed inside.…”

“…The data suggest, however, that those adults in the F 1 generation were sterile because there was no significant increase in insect population in either of the treatment groups following the F 1 generation. Adult sterility was demonstrated when Trogodenna glabrum virgin females were held in contact with methoprenetreated absorbent discs (18). Methoprene apparently migrated from the burlap surface on to the Oriental tobacco and from the bale $urface interiorly.…”

Methoprene, a synthetic juvenile hormone analogue, was shown to have the capability of preventing the cigarette beetle Lasiodermaserricorne (F.) from propagating when applied to the outside of packaged Oriental tobacco bales. Control was achieved for a 33-month’ storage period when methoprene was applied at 40 mg/m2 and 80 mg/m2 to either the burlap sheathing or to the outer surface of the tobacco following removal of the burlap sheath.

“…The deformities can be attributed to the IGRs in the formulation, which have been documented in other studies with IGRs applied to grain, surfaces, and packaging. Previous experiments with IGRs applied to different surfaces resulted in deformed adult genitalia, incomplete sclerotization of adult legs and antennae, incomplete hardening of elytra, and incomplete larval-pupae or pupae-adult transformations [18][19][20][21]. The deformities are a direct result of the IGR, whereby the insect is arrested in the larval stage, mortality occurs in the intermediate stage, or the result is deformed adults [10].…”

Trogoderma granarium Everts, the khapra beetle, is a serious pest of stored products throughout the world. Larvae pose a significant threat to stored products because they feed on >100 different commodities, possess the ability to enter facultative diapause, and are difficult to detect. Control methods for T. granarium include fumigation, contact insecticides, trapping, and insecticide-incorporated packaging. The objective of this study was to determine the residual efficacy of two insecticide formulations (methoprene + deltamethrin + piperonyl butoxide synergist Gravista® and methoprene + deltamethrin, DiaconIGR®Plus). These insecticides were evaluated on three stored product commodities, corn, wheat, and brown rice, by exposing T. granarium larvae during a 12-month testing period. Both formulations significantly reduced adult emergence on corn and wheat for 12 months and on brown rice for up to 6 months. Adult emergence was highest at month 12 for corn (8.41%), and brown rice (85.88%), and month 9 for wheat (39.52%), treated with DiaconIGR®Plus or Gravista®, respectively. A biological index used to measure the development of exposed larvae on the treated grain from the larval stage (low values) to adult emergence (high values) was lower (fewer adults) on corn and wheat compared to controls. Despite differences in formulations, each of these grain protectants could be utilized by stored commodity managers to protect commodities during storage and transportation for T. granarium when and if this pest is detected at USA ports of entry.
