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): “An increase of r.h. decreases the effectiveness of DEs, as has been documented by many reports (Arthur, 2000; Fields and Korunic, 2000; Subramanyam and Roelsi, 2000; Mewis and Ulrichs, 2001; Vayias and Athanassiou, 2004).”
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).”
Nanoparticles for pest control: current status and future perspectives (2017, background): “The silica NPs were physio-sorbed by the cuticular lipids disrupting the protective barrier and thereby causing death of insects purely by physical means with a mode of action similar to that observed for diatom particles used for protection of stored grain (Korunic 1998; Vayias and Athanassiou 2004”
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).”
