Abstract Thirty-nine selected peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes from a diverse germplasm collection with known resistance and susceptibility to preharvest insects were tested in the laboratory for postharvest resistance to the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner), and the almond moth Cadra cautella (Walker). After the initial test the number of genotypes was reduced to 20 to reduce duplication of pedigree and omit some of the genotypes with intermediate resistance. Additional data were collected from the 20 genotypes on ovipositional preference and larval establishment on shelled and unshelled (farmers stock) peanuts. Genotypes with resistance to moth species included NC 6, GP-NC 343 × NC 5, PI 467307, NC 7 × NC 10247, GP-NC 343 × NC 17367 and breeding line 10-P10-B1-B1-B1-B1-B2. Resistance to preharvest and postharvest insect complexes suggest some common chemicals may be present in the green crop and the harvested seed that elicit ovipositional response.

The Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is an insect pest that commonly affects stored and postharvest agricultural products. For the control of insect pests and mites, methyl benzoate (MBe) is lethal as a fumigant and also causes contact toxicity; although it has already been established as a food-safe natural product, the fumigation toxicity of MBe has yet to be demonstrated in P. interpunctella. Herein, we evaluated MBe as a potential fumigant for controlling adults of P. interpunctella in two bioassays. Compared to the monoterpenes examined under laboratory conditions, MBe demonstrated high fumigant activity using a 1-L glass bottle at 1 μL/L air within 4 h of exposure. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of MBe was 0.1 μL/L air; the median lethal time (LT50) of MBe at 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1 μL/L air was 3.8, 3.3, 2.8, and 2.0 h, respectively. Compared with commercially available monoterpene compounds used in pest control, MBe showed the highest fumigant toxicity (toxicity order as follows): MBe > citronellal > linalool > 1,8 cineole > limonene. Moreover, in a larger space assay, MBe caused 100% mortality of P. interpunctella at 0.01 μL/cm3 of air after 24 h of exposure. Therefore, MBe can be recommended for use in food security programs as an ecofriendly alternative fumigant. Specifically, it provides another management tool for curtailing the loss of stored food commodities due to P. interpunctella infestation.
