Nanoparticles for pest control: current status and future perspectives (2017, background): “Most promising examples are based on amorphous nanosilica obtained from various natural sources like the shell wall of phytoplankton, epidermis of vegetables, burnt pretreated rice hulls, straw at thermoelectric plants, and volcanic soil; some of these materials have particle sizes that exceeds 1 lm”
Use of diatomaceous earth for the management of stored-product pests (2014, background): “A study by Athanassiou et al. (2005) using SilicoSec found that T. confusum adults could survive at dose rates that caused 100% mortality to S. oryzae adults.”
Direct and admixture toxicity of diatomaceous earth and monoterpenoids against the storage pests Callosobruchusmaculatus (F.) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (2010, unknown): “One of the most promising alternatives to synthetic contact insecticides in stored product protection is the application of diatomaceous earth (DE) (Fields and Korunic 2000; Vayias and Athanassiou 2004; Athanassiou et al. 2005; Kavallieratos et al. 2005).”
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): “Generally, a specific DE is not equally effective at different commodities (Athanassiou et al., 2003, 2004, 2005; Athanassiou and Kavallieratos, 2005; Kavallier- atos et al. 2005).”
Laboratory evaluation of diatomaceous earth deposits mined from several locations in central and southeastern Europe as potential protectants against coleopteran grain pests (2011, background): “DEs can be applied with the same application technology as traditional grain protectants, which means that no specialized equipment is required (Athanassiou et al., 2005a).”
