“…exposure time was not significantly different comparing with control (El-Disouky, 2002). Moreover, the influence of microwave application to control E. cautella on figs as alternative method for fumigation by heating for 90 seconds in a microwave oven is sufficient to kill the larvae, pupa and eggs of this insect (Baysal et al,1998). The mechanism of microwave bio-interaction showed that microwave acts as promoting agents in inducing genetic changes in bio-system, could induce different physiological effects (Banik et al 2003).…”

“…Exposure of different stages of E. cautella to various microwave energy: Various microwave power of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% of 2450 MHz against E. cautella in different stages; eggs, larvae, and adults were performed according to Baysal et al, (1998) as follows: Ten infested dates with 10 larvae (10 days old), ten adults (one day old), and twenty eggs loaded on two dates, were placed on Petri dishes (9 mm diameter) for each replicate. Three replicates were exposed to various microwave power for different intervals 0, 5, 10, 15, seconds.…”

ABSTRACT:Multiple microwave power (MP) has been applied against Ephestia cautella (Walker) at various exposure times. Five seconds exposure time at various MP up to 60% had no effect on insect mortality, by increasing the MP up to 100%, the mortality reached 20% for larvae and 33% for adults. When exposure time was increased to 15 seconds with different MP, mortality reached 100% and 80% at 60% power for adults and larvae, respectively. Eggs of E. cautella were exposed to various MP at different time; the hatchability reached 0.0 % after 10 and 15 seconds at 100% MP. Data showed microwave had no effect on soluble proteins isolated from dates treated by microwave at various time up to 15 seconds, and had no effect on protein pattern on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Ozonation with 2.0 ppm ozone generated with various time 4, 8 and 12 hours, gave 28%, 73%, and 83% mortality against adults, while it gave 10%, 20% and 27% mortality against larvae. Ozone exhibited less effect against pupae and eggs hatchability. The possibility of using microwave and ozone in integrated management program against stored product pests is discussed.

“…Azizoglu et al(2011) reported that an increase in microwave power and exposure times caused an increase in egg mortality and accordingly the hatched larvae decreased. Baysal et al (1998) found that heating for 90 seconds of sun-dried figs, Ficus carica in a 900 W microwave oven at 2450 MHz is sufficient to kill most stages of Ephestia cautella. Darwish et al (2014) reported that the mortality of tested E. cautella stages increased by increasing the exposure time in each microwave powers.…”

This study aimed to evaluate different diets effects on the biological parameters of plodia interpunctella (Hubner). Three hosts namely; date, almond and peanut. Results showed that the hatchability percentage, weight per larva, pupation percentage and adult emergence percentage were the highest on almonds diet. Incubation period, generation time and life cycle were shortest in almonds. Also data indicated that almonds were the most preferred host. The efficacy of three microwave powers was investigated against two plodia interpunctella stages. The result cleared that the increase in microwave power and exposure times caused an increase in eggs and larvae reduction rate % and accordingly the microwave power more effective in larvae than egg stage. Also, results showed that there is no harmful effect on the chemical fruits characteristics under microwave treatment.

“…Mortalities of ≥93 % and ≥94 % were obtained for S. zeamais and T. castaneum, respectively. Baysal et al (1998) reported that heating for 90 s in a microwave oven is sufficient to kill most forms of the insect. Halverson et al (2003) conducted experiments to study the susceptibility of insect species and age (life stage) to microwave energy.…”

Contamination of stored grain with insects, insect fragments, fungi, and mycotoxins is a major concern of the grain industry. The stored-grain insects affect the grains not only quantitatively but also qualitatively. Disinfestation of grains can be achieved by physical, chemical and thermal methods. Microwaves may be an alternate to chemical methods of killing insects in grain as their application do not leave any undesirable residues and thus might be very effective for controlling insect infestation compared to other available methods. Microwave disinfestation can provide a continuous process to allow large quantities of products to pass in a shorter period of time. Microwave disinfestation is considered safe and competitive alternative method to fumigation as it avoids environmental pollution. The aim of this review is to examine how the use of microwave treatment benefits grain producers, handlers, and processors seeking to use non-chemical methods for preventing and controlling insect infestation and fungal growth during storage.
