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): “It is well established that, with few exceptions, most stored-product beetle species are more vulnerable to DEs at higher temperatures (Arthur, 2000; Fields and Korunic, 2000; Subramanyam and Roesli, 2000; Vayias and Athanssiou, 2004; Athanassiou et al., 2004), and this is in agreement with our…”
Efficacy of diatomaceous earth formulations admixed with grain against populations of Tribolium castaneum (2005, background): “confusum du Val) show greater tolerance at higher temperatures (Maceljski and Korunic, 1972; Aldryhim, 1990; Fields and Korunic, 2000).”
Evaluation of methoprene alone and in combination with diatomaceous earth to control Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) on stored wheat (2004, background): “However, R. dominica is more tolerant to DE than other stored-grain beetle genera such as Sitophilus, Oryzaephilus, and Cryptolestes (Korunic, 1998; Fields and Korunic, 2000), and application rates for R. dominica are slightly higher than for other stored-grain beetles.”
Effect of the combined use of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschinkoff) Sorokin and diatomaceous earth for the control of three stored-product beetle species (2006, background): “Increased moisture generally leads to a decreased DE efficacy (Arthur, 2000; Fields and Korunic, 2000; Vayias and Athanassiou, 2004) and that fact was also noticed in our experiments since the moisture content of the wheat sprayed with aqueous fungal suspension was higher than that of the wheat trea”
Use of diatomaceous earth for the management of stored-product pests (2014, background): “…accepted that, at high RH or moisture content values, desiccation through the abrading action of the DE particles on the cuticle is reduced, because insects may moderate their water loss (Subramanyam and Roesli 2000; Fields and Korunic 2000; Mewis and Ulrichs 2001; Athanassiou et al. 2011).”
Direct and admixture toxicity of diatomaceous earth and monoterpenoids against the storage pests Callosobruchusmaculatus (F.) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (2010, unknown): “However, different insects show different susceptibility to DE (Fields and Korunic 2000) and in the present study C. maculatus was more susceptible to DE/silica than S. oryzae.”
Mechanisms for tolerance to diatomaceous earth between strains of Tribolium castaneum (2001, background): “Also, manufacturers recommend treating only part of the grain mass, so as to reduce the cost and the negative effects of diatomaceous earth treatment (Fields & Korunic, 2000).”
Laboratory evaluation of diatomaceous earth deposits mined from several locations in central and southeastern Europe as potential protectants against coleopteran grain pests (2011, methodology): “For a satisfactory level of efficacy, the commercially available DE formulations should be applied at doses between 400 and 1000 ppm (Fields and Korunic, 2000).”
Survival of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on wheat treated with diatomaceous earth: impact of biological and environmental parameters on product efficacy (2002, background): “…between r.h. or grain moisture and insect survival has been noted and summarized in several recent tests where other stored-product insect species were exposed to various formulations of DE (Golob, 1997; Korunic et al., 1996; Korunic et al., 1998; Fields and Korunic, 2000; Arthur, 2000, 2001).”
