AbstractMales of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), T. confusum (Duval) (Tenebrionidae), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Bostrichidae) secrete aggregation pheromones attractive to both sexes. Responses of the four species to synthetic aggregation pheromones were investigated in relation to age, habituation, time of day, sex and previous mating experience in an olfactometer in which odour gradients were set up in moving air. Habituation reduced pheromone response in all the species tested but all recovered to pre-habituation levels after 48 h except Tribolium spp. males. Both sexes of T. castaneum and T. confusum were responsive to pheromone immediately upon eclosion, males reaching maximum response after 19 and 21 days and females after 21 and 16 days, respectively. Pheromone response was linearly related to age of the Tribolium spp. and T. castaneum males showed a greater response than the females. Sex or having mated did not affect the responses of T. confusum, P. truncatus and R. dominica. All the pheromones evoked periodicity of response, peaking between 10.00 and 18.00 h.

Considerando-se as altas temperaturas nos graneleiros junto à esteira transportadora de grãos objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar a influência da temperatura no momento da pulverização, sobre a eficácia biológica do bifentrina. Para isso, pulverizou-se o inseticida sobre grãos de milho dentro de uma câmara climática nas temperaturas de 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 e 50 ºC, com umidade relativa em torno de 55%. Após a pulverização e a cada 15 dias, até completar 90 dias, foram feitas as análises da eficácia biológica utilizando-se os insetos Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) e Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Observou-se tendência decrescente da eficácia biológica do bifentrina com o aumento da temperatura do ar ambiente, no momento da pulverização e com o maior tempo de armazenamento dos grãos de milho, resultando em menor mortalidade dos insetos-praga.

Research studies were carried out to evaluate insecticidal action of two plant products and a synthetic insecticide on a major stored-product insect, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The plant species studied were, Piper nigrum and Eucalyptus camaldulensis, whereas methoprene used as synthetic insecticide. Two formulations viz., powder and ethanol extract of each plant and four concentrations (5ppm, 10ppm, 15ppm and 20 ppm) of methoprene were tested. Repellency was tested using the filter paper test whereas mortality, weight loss protection and anti-feedant potential of all treatments was evaluated by using whole maize grains. Our results were highly significant as compared to control however; P. nigrum was more effective as compared to E. camaldulensis. The investigation of cumulative effects of botanical and synthetic insecticide and isolation of active ingredients of botanicals are further issues to be investigated for their inclusion in. I. P. M programs.
