Storage grain infestation is a critical problem, with insect pests and rodents causing economic losses and reductions in the quality of food grains and food products. It has been assessed as affecting 9% of goods in developed countries and more than 20% of goods in developing countries. The chemical insecticides used for storing products protect against insect pests, but introduce hazards associated with handling insecticides and the residues on food, which threaten nontarget organisms, and so represent a serious problem to the environment. Biorational methods are low risk, are obtained from animals, plants, bacteria and some minerals, and are segregated into microbial, plant‐associated protectant and biochemical substances. This method encompasses temperature management, modified atmospheric storage, ionizing irradiation, the mixing of inert materials, pheromone traps, botanicals, insect growth regulators, entomopathogens and host plant resistance. Biorational methods have emerged as alternative or supplemental pest control methods. Biopesticides would help in preventing the use of large quantities of pesticides across the globe, thus providing residue‐free food and a safe environment for living. Further investigation is needed to integrate these elements to enhance the efficacy, minimize the losses and diminish the reliance on pesticides for the preservation of stored commodities.

“…Despite the high mortality observed in laboratory, the use of B. bassiana is limited by product formulation, the physicochemical characteristics of the surface treated (cardboard tube traps, soil or litter), and application methods (Geden et al, 1998;Alexandre et al, 2006;Alves et al, 2008;Gazoni et al, 2011). In addition, poultry litter is rich in ammonia, which has strong fungistatic action, affecting the germination of different fungal species (Bacon, 1986).…”

Beauveria bassiana is naturally found in broiler chicken houses, and has been shown to be active against the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus. The effectiveness of soil application of B. bassiana in emulsifiable oil-type formulation (Unioeste 4 isolate) to control the lesser mealworm in commercial poultry house was evaluated. The fungus was applied to the dirt floor of poultry house at 4.2 × 10 9 conidia/m 2 (treated aviary) and the insect population was assessed before and 96, 146 and 216 days after application (DAA). In the control aviary, no treatment was performed to control those insects. Molecular techniques were used to confirm the presence of the fungus in dead A. diaperinus. Significant treatment effects were observed, with 56% and 73% of insect population reduction on 96 and 146 DAA, respectively. However, on 216 DDA, insect population resumed to values close to those initially observed. In the control aviary, the population grew steadily, reaching almost 110% the initial population on 96 DAA, and close to 200% on 216 DDA. The results demonstrate the potential of the applied control strategy, even with a single application of the fungus; however, reapplications may be required after 3-6 months for more effective control.

“…Adjuvantes ou inertes podem proporcionar proteção efetiva contra fatores adversos do ambiente e, consequentemente, aumentar a persistência viral. Pó de talco é um inerte com potencial para ser usado em formulação de vírus em pó seco ou pó molhável por ser barato, proporcionar proteção contra o UV, além de produzir efeitos deletérios aos insetos, como desidratação, abrasão seguida de injúrias das partes bucais, redução do consumo de alimento e dificuldade na mobilidade, contribuindo para o aumento da mortalidade (EBELING, 1971;QUARLES, 1992;ALVES et al, 2008 A suspensão viral foi filtrada através de um tecido "voile" para remoção de fragmentos grosseiros de tecidos orgânicos.

Microbial control of the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller, 1873) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), using a granulovirus The Potato Tuber Moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller, 1873) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a major pest of potato causing up to 100% damage worldwide, especially under storage conditions. The use of chemical pesticides to control PTM usually increases production costs, generates toxic residues and farmer intoxications. Biological control is a desired alternative to be incorporated in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. The granulovirus, PhopGV (Baculoviridae) is one of the most important natural enemies of PTM, frequently causing epizootics in host populations. The current research focused on basic studies to evaluate the potential of PhopGV to control PTM at different incubation temperatures (18, 24 e 30 °C) on potato tuber and on foliage. Investigations about virus persistence were done for treated tubers, and side-effects due to viral infection were assessed on pupal weight and immune system of PTM larvae. The susceptibility of a related host, the tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepid.: Gelechiidae), to the virus was also investigated on tomato leaves (Solanum lycopersium L., Solanaceae). In order to improve larval mortality by the pathogen, the virus was tested at different concentrations in combination with two neem products (DalNeem ® and NeemAZAl ®), and PhopGV was also tested in talc dust formulation. All tested temperatures did not affect the susceptibility of PTM larvae to PhopGV, neither the yield of infected larvae nor the rate of larvae not recovered on tuber bioassays. These parameters were highly dependent on the virus concentration and concentrations > 1 x 10 6 OB.mL-1 resulted in 100% larval mortality. Although the yield of infected larvae did not vary among the temperatures, the incubation period until the harvest of these larvae was shorter at 30 °C. On potato foliage, PTM larvae were less susceptible to the virus than on tubers, indicating that different virus dosages must be used for applications in field and storage conditions. The pathogen showed high persistence resulting in more than 80% larval mortality 60 days post-treatment. The transmission of the virus from larva to pupa at lower virus inoculum (< 1 x 10 6 OB.mL-1) was confirmed. However, the infected pupae had similar weights to those healthy ones. Infected larvae presented much lower densities of haemocytes compared to uninfected larvae. The best combination of PhopGV and neem products was achieved by the mixture of 4 ppm DalNeem with 1 x 10 4 OB.mL-1 PhopGV, which resulted in higher PTM mortalities than both agents applied alone. NeemAzal had antagonistic effect when mixed with PhopGV resulting on reduced larval mortality. The talc dust formulation of virus promoted higher mortalities (> 70%) at concentrations < 5 x 10 6 OB.mL-1 than to nonformulated virus. PhopGV can be produced in vivo on potato tubers at 24-30 °C, and the use of this virus in combination with talc or D...
