Use of diatomaceous earth for the management of stored-product pests (2014, methodology): “Similarly, Athanassiou et al. (2003) found that SilicoSec was more effective against adults of S. oryzae on paddy rice and barley than on maize.”
Laboratory evaluation of diatomaceous earth deposits mined from several locations in central and southeastern Europe as potential protectants against coleopteran grain pests (2011, background): “Factors such as temperature, relative humidity and grain type, which affect DE efficacy, also affected the efficacy of the mined DEs (Korunic,1998; Arthur, 2000; Fields andKorunic, 2000; Athanassiou et al., 2003, 2004, 2005a, 2007; Vayias and Athanassiou, 2004; Kavallieratos et al., 2005, 2007).”
Effectiveness of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschinkoff) Sorokin applied alone or in combination with diatomaceous earth against Tribolium confusum Du Val larvae: Influence of temperature, relative humidity and type of commodity (2006, unknown): “As in the case of fungi, DEs have a natural origin (they are composed of the fossils of diatoms) and low mammalian toxicity (Athanassiou et al., 2003, 2004).”
