Development of natural attractants to control the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Tephritidae) in Gafsa oasis, Tunisia Int. J. Pest Manag. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-01-04 Insaf Sadraoui-Ajmi, Abir Soltani, Raoudha Sadraoui, Fatma Guesmi, Islem Yangui, Essia Limem, Emna Boushih, Abdallah Fajraoui, Jouda Mediouni-Ben Jemâa
Abstract A natural attractant for Ceratitis capitata developed by microencapsulation by coacervation complex with gelatin and gum arabic of the essential oil of Ruta graveolens was evaluated. Essential oil composition was analyzed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Microencapsulation efficacy was evaluated by determination of the encapsulation yield (%), encapsulation efficiency (%),

Efficacy of Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera: Miridae) and Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) for controlling Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in greenhouse tomato crops under Kuwait hot desert climate Int. J. Pest Manag. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2022-12-30 Mustapha F. A Jallow, Abdelhafiz A. Dahab, Mohammed S. Albaho, Vimala Y. Devi
Abstract The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is one of the most damaging insect pest of tomato worldwide. Tuta absoluta has developed resistance to a wide range of insecticides. Consequently, there is a need to develop alternative control strategies to manage the pest. We evaluated the efficacy of the predatory mirid, Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera:

Population dynamics of Megaselia halterata (Diptera: Phoridae) in Spanish mushroom crops Int. J. Pest Manag. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2022-12-16 María Jesús Navarro, Lucía Adriana Escudero-Colomar, Francisco J. Gea
Abstract Diptera, phorids and sciarids, are some of the most serious pest affecting mushroom crops. Phorids have traditionally been considered a minor pest throughout the world. However, phorid populations have also markedly increased from minor to major pest status in India, UK and USA, with yield losses ranging between 10 and 40%. This paper summarizes the information regarding the phorid Megaselia
