“…A similar trend was also observed in studies using whole-body wash extracts which, in the case of the female Azuki bean weevil, Callosobruchus chinensis Linnaeus, 1758, showed the presence of a mixture of fatty acids (Oshima et al, 1973). Howlader & Ambadkar (1995) also reported 82% oviposition deterrence in the whole-body wash extract of tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius, 1792), against conspecific females. Parallel results were found in the present study as well, where methyl esters of four fatty acids; hexadecanoic acid (C16:0), 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (C18:2), 9-octadecenoic acid (C18:1) and octadecanoic acid (C18:0), were detected.…”

Fatty acids for insect species remain constant: A case study of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders)

Pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) originates from South Asia and has spread across major cotton-growing regions. The pest is considered to be the most destructive and of economic concern across the globe. In India, the pest has developed resistance to dual Bt toxins and its concealed feeding nature makes the target sites almost inaccessible for the insecticide. In view of this issue, there is need to identify a suitable alternative for its management. In this context, semiochemicals serve as one of the best eco-friendly options. These chemical substances or mixtures broadcast messages for the purpose of communication. Semiochemicals may be released from eggs, faecal pellets, tarsal segments, scales, anal tufts and/or any insect components that reduce the intra/interspecific competition for shared resources such as food, mating, oviposition site etc. Accurate identification of the semiochemical compounds and their proportion in natural blends that arouse a strong behavioural response in insects, requires a thorough knowledge. Therefore in the present study, we tried to explore the chemicals present in eggs, faecal pellets and whole-body wash extracts of mated female. Seven compounds were identified from a methanolic extract of faecal-pellet samples, namely hexadecanoic acid, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid and their methyl esters along with methyl stearate. However, only four methyl-esterified forms were found in common in eggs and female body wash extract. This clearly shows that the compounds remain constant and conserved for the species but the role of these compounds needs to be demonstrated.

“…The cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), is one of the most destructive insects in tobacco and food industries throughout the world, and infestation frequently results in major loss of quality and quantity in stored tobacco and its products every year (Howe 1957, Rajendran and Narasimhan 1994, Howlader and Ambadkar 1995, Kaelin et al 1999, Papadopoulou and Athanassiou 2004, Li et al 2018). Fumigation with phosphine is a conventional method to control storage insects in many regions of the world (Nayak and Collins 2008, Phillips et al 2012).…”

Heat treatment is a potential alternative to chemicals for controlling stored-product insect pests. During heat treatment, attaining uniform temperature across a facility is not possible because of differential heating rates. Effects of different heating rates of 0 (check), 0.5, 5, and 10 per hour on life stages of Lasioderma serricorne were studied in a laboratory. Different heating rates killed significantly different numbers of L. serricorne life stages, with more killed with increasing exposure at 50°C. Compared to the check, significantly more L. serricorne larvae exposed to continuous heating of 28 to 50°C at 5 and 10°C per hour were killed after exposure at 50°C for 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. However, L. serricorne larvae and eggs exposed to continuous heating of 28 to 50°C at 0.5°C per hour significantly increased after exposure at 50°C for 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. Maintaining temperature at ≥50 for >90 minutes in a facility killed almost all life stages of L. serricorne. Pupae were least susceptible to heat.
