Control of One of the Vital Stored Date Insects, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), by Using Ozone Gas.

Abstract

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net

Evaluation of Specific Pheromone Trap Designs and Components to Improve Their Effectiveness in Reducing the Red Palm Weevil Population in Egyptian Palm Farms

“…In addition to shelter, wood, and handicrafts, it is a source of revenue for people and it is also rich in Carbohydrates content. As a fruit with significant nutritional and medicinal significance, dates are regarded as one of the most significant (El-Shafei 2018; Zinhoum and El-Shafei 2019). All parts of the palm tree, including the trunk, leaves, bracts, leaves, and fruits, are susceptible to infestation by a variety of insect and pest diseases, which can reduce both the quantity and quality of production (El-Lakwah et al 2011a;El-Lakwah et al 2012;El-Shafei et al 2018 andAssous et al 2022) .…”
