Bioactivity and qualitative analysis of some essential oils from Mediterranean plants against stored-product pests: Evaluation of repellency against Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky,
Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) and Tenebrio molitor (L.).
Therefore, we investigated effectiveness of short exposures of DDVP strips against five key (Stejskal et al., 2014, 2015) stored-product pests, namely, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) (Tenebrionidae; Red flour beetle), Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Silvaniade; Saw-toothed Grain Beetle),
Cryptolestes ferrugineus Stephens 1831 (Cucujidae; Rusty Grain Beetle), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius, 1792) (Bostrichidae; Lesser Grain Borer) and Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Curculionidae; Grain Eeevil) in a standard experimental chamber.
As an example, the only EO able to highly repel
Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) (Coleoptera: Cucujidae) adults was Citrus bergamia (Rutaceae), while EOs extracted from other Rutaceae, as well as from Lamiaceae species, were unable to cause significant repellence [105].
castaneum adults showed that both species were more readily detectable than the smaller species
Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae) or Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae), wheras R.
verbasci and
Cryptolestes ferrugineus and from Amman governorate was B lentis, followed by B.
Campbell and Sinha (1976) determined the damage done to stored wheat caused by larval and adult feeding of
Cryptolestes ferrugineus, Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus granaries by feeding individual insects on single wheat kernels.
Plant oils as grain protectants against infestations of
Cryptolestes pusillus and Rhyzopertha dominica in stored grain.
Obeng-Ofori D (1995) Plant oils as grain protectants against infestations of
Cryptolestes pusillus and Rhyzopertha dominica in stored grain.
[13] reported a total mortality of three common types of wheat insects, Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus granarius and
Cryptolestes ferrungineus.
Similarly it has been shown that all the fruit components (skin, aril and granulates, oil) of this plant have repulsive properties against stock insects such as Callosobruchus maculatus,
Cryptolestes ferrugineus, T castaneum, and S.

Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) to different concentrations of diatomaceous earth in bulk stored wheat
