Residual efficacy of pyriproxyfen and hydroprene applied to wood, metal and concrete for control of stored‐product insects

Abstract

Pyriproxyfen gave effective residual control of primary stored-product insect species by inhibiting adult emergence of exposed larvae. Results show that pyriproxyfen can be a useful addition for pest management programs in mills, warehouses and food storage facilities.

Comparative efficacy of phenoxy derivative JHAs Pyriproxyfen and Diofenolan against polyphagous pest Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera)

“…However, the activity of pyriproxyfen was found to be more potent than spinosad in Aedes aegypti (Darriet and Corbel 2006), Hydroprene in Tribolium confusum, T. castaneum, Oryzaephilus surinamenis, Lasioderma serricorne and Plodia interpunctella (Arthur et al 2009) while diofenolan was found to be more active than Lufenuron in Rhyncophorus ferrugineus (Ghoneim et al 2007). In the present study, both the compounds exerted equal or almost similar effects on S. liutra.…”

“…Several studies comparing the efficacy of pyriproxyfen with other IGRs like fenoxycarb and difubenzuron (Ross and Cochran 1991), chemical insecticides (Kerns and Stewart 2000), ecdysone agonist tebufenozide and neurotoxin spinosad (Medina et al 2003) with neurotoxin spinosad alone and in combination (Darriet and Corbel 2006) and IGR hydroprene (Arthur et al 2009) have been previously reported, but to best of our knowledge no comparative study of pyriproxyfen and diofenolan on the various stages of S. litura during the insect development has been reported. This prompted us to undertake the present study comparing the efficacy of two novel IGRs having JH mimic action on the polyphagous pest, S. litura.…”

“…These JHAs are used for the control of pests that have generally developed resistance against major class of chemical insecticides like organophosphates and carbamates. Pyriproxyfen has been used for the control of variety of insect pests of agricultural and public health importance like whiteflies, scale insects and aphids (Ishaaya and Horowitz 1992;Ishaaya et al 1994;Liu and Stanley 1997), thrips (Nagai 1990;Hirano et al 1998;Liu 2003) mosquitoes (Paul et al 2005;Invest and Lucas 2008), ants (Lim and Lee 2005;Kabashima et al 2007) and cockroaches (Saltzmann et al 2006), lepidopterans (Smagghe and Degheele 1994;Hirano et al 1998;Oouchi 2005) and coleopterans (Aribi et al 2006;Arthur et al 2009). Many lepidopteran, coleopteran and scale insects have been controlled by the use of JHA diofenolan (Tomkins et al 1994;Streibert et al 1994;Thomson et al 1996;Paloukis et al 1997;Pedigo 2002;Ghoneim et al 2003Ghoneim et al , 2007.…”

Biorational Approaches to Managing Stored-Product Insects

“…For bulk-stored grain it is imperative that newly harvested commodities be stored in clean bins and not be loaded into bins that contain older products that may harbor insects. Harvesting equipment, transportation containers, loading areas, and storage bins need to be as clean as possible before harvest and storage of the new crop, and sometimes it is prudent to treat the surfaces of inside walls, floors, and ceilings of such structures and machinery with a residual insecticide to kill any insects that may remain following the previous storage season (7,92). Thus, mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering aspects of buildings and bins containing stored products must be considered during construction and maintenance of such structures.…”
