• Efficacy of nanostructured silica as a stored pulse protector against the infestation of bruchid beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) (2016, methodology): “Damage could have occurred to the protective wax coat on the cuticle of insects, both by sorption and abrasion (Debnath et al. 2011).”
• Perspectives for nano-biotechnology enabled protection and nutrition of plants. (2011, unknown): “Debnath et al. (2011) reported that silica NPs caused 100% mortality in rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae.”
• Nanoparticles for pest control: current status and future perspectives (2017, background): “For example, Debnath et al. (2011) reported higher insect mortality from treatment with silica NPs (15–30 nm) than with bulk silica (100–400 nm) confirming that NPs with smaller size have higher efficacy.”
• INSECTICIDAL EFFECT OF SILICA AND SILVER NANOPARTICLES ON THE COWPEA SEED BEETLE, CALLOSOBRUCHUS MACULATUS F. (COL.: BRUCHIDAE) (2013, background): “DE becomes more effective against insects if it possesses high silica content with uniform size distribution (Korunik, 1997) and a number of physical properties of materials change as their size approach nanoscale (Debnath et al., 2011).”
