“…In India, failures in the control of the beetles in stored tobacco despite phosphine fumigation have been experienced by certain tobacco traders, and the emergence of resistant beetles was confirmed (Rajendran and Narasimhan, 1994). Zettler and Keever (1994) reported the emergence of resistant beetles in the USA. In Japan, a survey of phosphine-susceptibility in field populations has been carried out since 1996 and confirmed the prevalence of resistant beetles in a few warehouses where phosphine fumigation had been repeatedly applied (Hori et al, unpublished).…”

A new assay method was developed for easily and precisely determining whether beetles were knocked down (define knockdown) by phosphine fumigation for the purpose of evaluating the phosphine resistance of the cigarette beetle. The knockdown time (KT) was investigated for six strains of beetles exposed to phosphine. The susceptibilities of the six strains were investigated by checking adult mortalities from phosphine exposure. One strain showed high resistance and almost all beetles survived even at 1,000 ppm. The KT 50 values of the high resistant strain exposed to 100, 200 and 300 ppm phosphine were 32,800, 5,000 and 3,650 min, respectively. The KT 50 values of susceptible and low resistant strains, with LC 50 values lower than 50 ppm, were smaller than 250 min even at 100 ppm. The KT 50 values of the middle resistant strain, with an LC 50 value of 140 ppm, were 920, 340 and 290 min at 100, 200 and 300 ppm, respectively. The time difference between the low resistant beetles knocked down last and the highly resistant beetles knocked down first was 86, 18 and 8 h at 100, 200 and 300 ppm, respectively. The probit regression line for the middle resistant strain lay between that of the susceptible strain and that of the highly resistant strain, although it was nearer to that of the susceptible strain.

“…Most notably, this species is the most injurious pest to stored tobacco. It can attack both the unprocessed commodity and the finished products 2 . Many problems i.e., insecticide resistance, toxicity to mammals and other non-target animals, residue problems, environmental pollution have occurred for the overuse of synthetic insecticides during the control of stored product insects 3 .…”

“…Phosphine fumigation is the only applicable method for disinfestation in warehouses. Nevertheless, resistant beetles have continued to spread, and present fumigation techniques are becoming less efficient (Rajendran and Narasimhan, 1994;Zettler and Keever, 1994). In addition to the emerging difficulty of resistance, public concern has been growing regarding the potential health and environmental hazards of pesticides.…”

Time-temperature-mortality relationships for egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages of the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne were investigated to determine disinfesting conditions for stored tobacco. Susceptibility to low temperatures changed according to the developmental stage. Eggs were most susceptible to low temperatures that were higher than Ϫ5°C. Larvae acquired cold tolerance during exposure to 15°C for 1 mo. These acclimated larvae were the most tolerant of all. LT 99 values of acclimated larvae were calculated as 7.2 h at Ϫ15°C, 23.7 h at Ϫ10°C, 376 h at Ϫ5°C, 1,140 h at 0°C, and 1,880 h at 5°C. As the most susceptible stage, egg susceptibility to moderately low temperatures (16-20°C) was specifically examined. At 20°C, most eggs (Ͼ80%) normally hatched within 4 wk, but all eggs died within 6 wk at temperatures less than 18°C. This fact indicates that the reproductive cycle can be blocked at temperatures less than 18°C, and that tobacco stored in such conditions will never become infested, even if eggs are deposited by invading adults. Consequently, if the tobacco temperature is reduced to 5°C for 3 mo in winter and is subsequently maintained below 18°C throughout the rest of the year, tobacco can become and remain pest-free without any chemical control.
