Abstract:
Abstract. Maize is an important crop for many smallholder farmers in the world. Maize weevils () cause a significant loss in quality and quantity during maize storage, especially in tropical regions. Hermetic storage of maize has been shown to be effective in controlling maize weevils in laboratory and field settings. The objective of this research was to test the effectiveness of steel barrels that could be used by smallholder farmers for hermetic storage. Six 208 L (55 gal) steel barrels were each loaded with 170 kg (375 lb) of maize at an average moisture of 13.4% w.b., with initial weevil

Abstract:
The Sitophilus zeamais (maize weevil) and Sitophilus oryzae (rice weevil) are two insect pests that have caused huge economic losses to stored grains worldwide. It is urgent to develop an environmentally friendly strategy for the control of these destructive pests. Here, the olfactory-mediated selection preference of the two weevil species to three stored grains was analyzed, which should help establish a pull–push system in managing them. Bioassays showed that maize weevil adults prefer to select maize, followed by paddy and wheat, while rice weevil adults mainly migrate towards wheat. Volati

Maize leaf weevil [(Tanymecus dilaticollis (Gyllenhal, 1834)] represents one of the most dangerous pests of the maize crops in Romania. Each year, around one million hectares cultivated with maize are attacked by this pest with different levels of attack intensities. In the case of the high weevils invasion, the maize seedlings could not survive, and the farmers have to sow their fields again, causing unexpected costs. Spring drought and higher temperatures that usually occur in Romania's south-east is even more favorable circumstances for the weevils attack. Also, maize monoculture has an inc

The work described here seeks to establish whether changes in VGSC of S.zeamais can explain pyrethroid resistance.
