Summary: GC-MS analysis identified major compounds in essential oils from six aromatic plants, including gamma-terpinene, cuminaldehyde, and gamma-terpinen-7-al in Cuminum cyminum, trans-anethol in Pimpinella anisum, alpha-pinene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and alpha-humulene in Lippia integrifolia, limonene and artemisia ketone in Lippia junelliana, trans-beta-ocimene, 4-ethyl-4-methyl-1-hexene, trans-tagetone, and verbenone in Tagetes minuta, and 1,8-cineole, elixene, and spathulenol in Aloysia gratissima. The oils from P. anisum and T. minuta showed strong insecticidal activity against Carpophilus dimidiatus and Oryzaephilus mercator. The insecticidal activity was attributed to the C10 molecules and oxygenated constituents.

Summary: Nitidulidae trapping conducted between 2018 and 2021 revealed three new species records for Canada, six new species records for Ontario, and three new species records for Manitoba, providing important information on potential vectors of the oak wilt pathogen. The newly recorded species in Canada include Carpophilus (Ecno-morphus) corticinus from Ontario, C. (Myothorax) nepos from Ontario and Manitoba, and Glischrochilus (Librodor) obtusus from Ontario. Several species, such as Carpophilus (Ecnomorphus) antiquus, C. (Megacarpolus) sayi, and Stelidota coenosa, were also recorded for the first time in Ontario, as well as in Manitoba with Carpophilus (Megacarpolus) lugubris and Cychramus adustus. Comprehensive collection data is provided for these new records in two provinces and at the national level.

Summary: Carpophilus dimidiatus and Oryzaephilus mercator are insect pests that cause severe damage to walnut trees in the northwest of Argentina. The current management methods involving phosphorus pesticides have led to negative consequences such as poisoning, resistance issues, and environmental contamination. This study explores the use of plant extracts, specifically essential oils, as potential eco-friendly alternatives for insect control. Laboratory studies showed that Aloysia gratissima var. Gratissima, Minthostachys verticillata, and Lippia junelliana essential oils exhibited high biological activity as excitatory and repellent agents against the pests. These oils have the potential to be protective agents for walnut products.

Summary: In this study, the effectiveness of citronella essential oil and its nanoemulsion in controlling O. surinamensis adults was compared. The nanoemulsion was found to be more effective than the pure essential oil, with significant differences in toxicity. Citronella nanoemulsion shows promise as an alternative to chemical pesticides for protecting stored products.

Summary: This study assessed the susceptibility of ten date cultivars to infestation by the saw-toothed grain beetle. The cultivars Rushodia, Segae, and Shaishee were highly susceptible, while Deglet Noor was resistant. The findings can be used in the management strategies of O. surinamensis in stored dates.

Summary: This study compares the performance of Gaussian and Poisson regression models in analyzing the associations of various insects and maize storage under different temperature and humidity conditions. The results show that temperature and humidity have significant effects on the emergence of insects and the damage to maize kernels. The combination of different insect species also leads to varying levels of damage. The Poisson model demonstrates better performance and can be used for analyzing this type of data. The findings can be useful for predicting the damage caused by co-infestations of different species and for differentiating management strategies in storage facilities.

Summary: The study found that nanosilica particles have strong insecticidal activity against Oryzaephilus surinamensis, with increasing exposure time and dose leading to higher mortality rates in the adults. Additionally, feeding on irradiated dates treated with nanosilica resulted in higher mortality compared to nanosilica alone.

Summary: This study evaluated the pathogenicity of two entomopathogenic bacteria against the sawtoothed grain beetle, a devastating insect pest in stored grains. The results showed that both bacteria were highly effective in controlling the reproduction and survival of the beetle. Therefore, utilizing bacteria as biological control agents can reduce insect populations and prevent the loss of stored grains and date fruits.

Summary: The study found that both adult and larval stages of O. surinamensis are more susceptible to CO2 or N-2 in high temperatures, with the adult stage being more affected. Additionally, exposure to MAs containing 50% CO2 and 98% N-2 can increase the nutritional content of dried dates.

Summary: The chemical composition of essential oils from two plants (Schinus molle and Cupressus sempervirens) grown in Algeria were determined, and their insecticidal activity against Oryzaephilus surinamensis was investigated. The major components of S. molle EO were beta-Eudesmol, Elemol, D-Limonene, Spathulenol, and beta-Phellandrene, while those of C. sempervirens EO were Cedrol, alpha-Pinene, and neoiso-Dihydrocarveol acetate. The EOs showed fumigation toxicity and repellency, with C. sempervirens EO being highly repellent.

Summary: The study found that in 2019, small hive beetle populations in Florida had widespread resistance to fluvalinate and coumaphos. However, they were still susceptible to chlorpyrifos, malathion, and cypermethrin. Over the past decade, resistance in the populations has increased significantly to coumaphos and fluvalinate.

Summary: The methanolic extracts of Ruta chalepensis, Rhazya stricta, and Moringa oleifera showed insecticidal and repellent activities against Oryzaephilus surinamensis. Among them, the extract from R. stricta exhibited the highest toxicity and repellency, causing significant mortality in both adult and larval stages of the beetle. The extracts from Salvadora persica also showed moderate insecticidal activity and repellency against the adult stage of O. surinamensis.
