Broad spectrum activity of essential oils in managing stored grain pests

Abstract

The essential oils have broad-spectrum use over the world as non-chemical alternatives over the chemical fumigation in managing different stored grain insect pests. Exceptions are for organic products where use of fumigants is not possible then application of essential oils is the best preferred choice. However, their general commercial use needs to be explored over the world. The perusal of literature on essential oils indicated that the use of most effective natural products needs to be fully exploited for their potential use in the context of pest management in household and large scale grain storage.

Creation of heat-resistant, high-product breeds and hybrids of mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori l.)

“…Throughout the history of civilization, mankind has been constantly searching for the preparation and rational use of food, clothing and household items for its needs, especially its demand for natural fibers and fabrics has been very high [1][2][3][4].…”

“…In the current era of highly developed science, technology and technology, the demand for natural fabrics is increasing year by year in the world market, and the world silk industry and science are led to the cultivation of mulberry varieties with high nutritional value and the creation of breeds and hybrids suitable for different seasons of the changing external environment [5][6][7]. In this direction, cultivation of new generation super elite, elite and industrial eggs of mulberry silkworm using scientifically based methods of selection and breeding of mulberry silkworm is one of the most urgent scientific problems [1][2][3].…”

“…In this scientific direction, interesting works have been carried out by a number of foreign and local scientists, in the researches of Azerbaijanis [2], how the environmental conditions of the regions affect the biological characteristics of worms have been studied, in the experiments conducted by [3] in the care of silkworm breeds of bivoltine Bombyx mori L. the direct effect of high temperature and high humidity on silkworms has been scientifically proven.…”

“…"Extensive testing of breeding achievements, development of primary seed production of mulberry silkworm breeds and hybrids, mulberry hybrids, taking into account the natural climatic conditions of the regions, introduction of scientific developments and intensive agro-technologies into production"1 is defined as the main tasks. In this regard, research of new agrotechnologies aimed at improving the quality and technological characteristics of cocoons grown using the flexibility and endurance potential of this breed and hybrids in different ecological regions due to the influence of ecological factors on biological, cocoon productivity and technological characteristics of industrial hybrids of mulberry silkworm suitable for different seasons and it is desirable to expand the scope of scientific research on the development of high-quality silk raw materials [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…The purpose of the research work is to study the reaction of mulberry silkworm genotypes to the extreme factors of summer and autumn seasons and to identify, select and create new breeds of the most heat-resistant genotypes [2][3][4][5].…”
