“…Six heattolerant Pakistani nematode strains also showed successful results against T. castaneum larvae and adults (Shahina and Salma 2010; 2011). For T. confusum larvae, different responses to EPNs have been demonstrated, varying from low (Alikhan et al 1985;Rumbos and Athanassiou 2012) to high susceptibility (Athanassiou et al 2008), depending mainly on the nematode species and strain. However, most studies agree on the poor infectivity of EPNs against T. confusum adults (Athanassiou et al 2008;Rumbos and Athanassiou 2012).…”

Grain commodities, like cereals and legumes, are subject to insect infestation during postharvest processing and storage. Public concerns about the potential risks that derive from the consumption of pesticide-treated commodities have created interest for the development and integration in stored product protection of alternative, ecologically safe methods for the disinfestation of stored commodities. The present study was conducted to evaluate the biocontrol potential of four entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs): Steinernema pakistanense (LM-07), S. bifurcatum (LM-30), S. affinae (GB-14), and S. cholashanense (GB-22) against adult beetles of Tribolium confusum (Jac.) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) under laboratory conditions. Suspensions of nematodes were applied at three different concentrations, 50, 100, and 150 IJs/beetle in 1 ml of distilled water at three different temperatures, 20, 25, and 30°C. Mortality was recorded after 3 days of application. The concentration of 150 IJs/beetle achieved a maximum mortality of 100% for S. pakistanense at 30°C. The same concentrations revealed that all four species of EPN were able to cause mortal effects depended on temperature and concentrations. S. pakistanense (LM-07) and S. bifurcatum (LM-30) were the most effective at 150 IJs/beetle at 30°C and S. affinae (GB-14) and S. cholashanense (GB-22) at the same concentration at 20°C.

“…In assays with rye kernels, only O. surinamensis emerged, besides IMM. The presence of two or more species in the same area causes an alteration in their behavior, biology and ecology (TREMATERRA et al, 2000;ATHANASSIOU et al, 2006). ATHANASSIOU et al (2006) showed that grains previously infested by different insects may affect the behavior of other species that visits these grains later, in comparison with noncontaminated grains.…”

“…Therefore, in our study, some stored grain insect pests developed in assays with whole kernels that seemed undamaged (WA and RA). Certain pests, such as O. surinamensis, detect if the kernels were damaged mechanically or by other insect pests, because they could sense certain grain volatiles (IRSHAD and TALPUR, 1993;TREMATERRA et al, 2000;ATHANASSIOU et al, 2006). Also, TREMATERRA et al (2000) reported that kernels damaged by primary pests are much more attractive to secondary pests, than whole kernels or those damaged mechanically.…”

ABSTRACT. The present study was undertaken to determine survival rate of Plodia interpunctella (Hübner, 1813), reared on different mechanical states of Vizija winter wheat cultivar and Raša winter rye cultivar, previously infested with different beetle pests. Wheat was previously infested with Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus granarius, Oryzaephilus surinamensis and Cryptolestes ferrugineus, while rye was infested only with O. surinamensis. Kernels were tested in three different mechanical states: (A) whole undamaged kernels; (B) kernels already damaged by pests and (C) original storage kernels (mixture of B and C type). No P. interpunctella adult emerged on wheat kernels, while 36 adults developed on rye kernels. The highest abundance reached beetle species who fed with a mixture of kernels damaged by pests and whole undamaged kernels. Development and survival rate of five different storage insect pests depends on type of kernels and there exist significant survivorship correlations among them.

“…Adult lesser mealworm Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is less susceptible to S. carpocapsae DD-136 than late instars, but not H. heliothidis or S. glaseri (Steiner) [34]. Larvae of the confused flour beetle Tribolium confusum du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) are generally more susceptible to S. feltiae than the adults [35]. Multiple adult predatory beetles including Philonthus sp.…”

Dalotia coriaria (Kraatz) (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) and entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae) are two soil-dwelling biological control agents used to manage western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and fungus gnats Bradysis spp. (Diptera: Sciaridae) in glasshouses. Growers often use multiple natural enemies to achieve economic control, but knowledge of interactions among natural enemies is lacking. We conducted a laboratory bioassay to test the pathogenicity of four commercially available nematode species—Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Rhabditida: Heterorhbditidae), Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), S. feltiae (Filipjev), and S. riobrave Cabanillas et al.—to third instar and adult D. coriaria. Third instars were three times more susceptible than the adults to the entomopathogenic nematodes. Mortality for D. coriaria adults and third instars treated with S. feltiae and H. bacteriophora was lower than the mortality for D. coriaria adults and third instars treated with S. carpocapsae and S. riobrave. Neither infective juvenile foraging behavior nor size correlates with D. coriaria mortality. Dalotia coriaria appears to be most likely compatible with applications of S. feltiae and H. bacteriophora.
