“…Fields (1992) proposed lethal, sub-lethal and optimal temperature ranges for many stored product insects; 25-33°C is optimal for growth and reproduction, while; 13-25°C or 33-35°C are sub-optimal at which insects are able to complete their development and produces offspring, and lastly at < 13° or > 35°C insects eventually die. Changes in metabolic rate caused by fluctuations of temperature have a direct bearing on two important aspects of insect life cycles; one is locomotion for performing crucial activities such as mating and feeding and the other is growth represented by development and metamorphosis.…”

“…The above temperature values were selected since they belong to the most common thermal range (22-32°C), which prevails inside wheat storage facilities, in relation to beetle infestation in Greece (Athanassiou and Buchelos, 2001). In particular, the temperatures 27 and 30°C also belong to the optimum thermal range (27-31°C) for the development of S. oryzae (Howe, 1965;Fields, 1992). On the other hand, the minimum temperature required for the development of this species is 17°C (Howe, 1965).…”

The insecticidal efficacy of the diatomaceous earth formulation SilicoSec ® (Biofa GmbH) against adults of the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae, was evaluated in laboratory experiments on stored wheat. Bioassays were conducted at three temperature levels, 22, 27 and 30°C, two relative humidity (rh) levels, 55 and 65%, and four dose rates, 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g of SilicoSec ® /kg of wheat. Three different aged-adult groups, 1, 2 and 7 d-old, were exposed. The mortality of exposed adults increased with the exposure interval and dose rate. Also, the increase of temperature increased S. oryzae mortality in all exposure intervals examined. The increase of rh from 55 to 65% caused a significant decrease in S. oryzae mortality. The age of the exposed individuals did not have a direct effect on SilicoSec ® efficacy.

“…Segundo Fields (1992), a temperatura ótima para o desenvolvimento da maioria das espécies de insetos de produtos armazenados se situa entre 25-33 ºC. Hagstrum & Subramanyam (2006) apontam, por sua vez, que em 30 ºC as populações de insetos de grãos armazenados aumentam rapidamente.…”

“…A falta de uma boa estrutura para infestação, umidade inadequada, porcentagem de impureza junto ao grão no momento do armazenamento, ação de pragas (Santos, 2006;Herrmann et al, 2009) e temperatura em torno de 30 ºC (Fields, 1992, Hagstrum & Subramanyam, 2006 estão entre as principais causas da deterioração dos grãos durante a armazenagem.…”

RESUMOObjetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar o efeito de predação de inseto praga primário, Sitophilus zeamais, e secundários, Oriza ephilus surinamensis e Laemophloeus minutus em grãos de arroz armazenados. As populações foram expostas a condições controladas de temperatura e fotoperíodo (20, 25 e 30 ºC, 14 h de fotofase) em cinco diferentes densidades de infestação (10, 20, 40, 80 (0, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 120 individuals). The treatments were: S. zeamais isolated; O. surinamensis isolated; L. minutus isolated; S. zeamais + O. surinamensis and; S. zeamais + L. minutus. Analysis of rice grain damage occurred at 7 and 14 days after the beginning of the experiments, separating the insect pests from the grains. The largest losses occurred with increasing temperature and infestation density and the coexistence of S. zeamais + L. minutus produced the greatest predatory effects. It is concluded that lower temperatures as well as monitoring and control of infestation of primary and secondary insect pests reduces the loss of rice grains stored.
