“…There is the possibility that insect species may respond differently to CO2 applications. Comparatively less mortality has been reported for the navel orange worm, Amyelois transitella when CO2 was applied for 60 h at 27°C (Brandle et al, 1983;Soderstrom et al, 1990). However, 95% mortality was achieved after exposing mature larvae of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella to 60% CO2 for 7 d at 25°C.…”

The efficacy of CO2 and N2 gases alone or in a mixture was tested against eggs, larvae, and pupae of the almond moth, Cadra cautella, a major date fruit pest, under temperature regimes of 5°C and 25°C. Our results indicated that exposing different stages to higher concentrations of CO2 significantly affected egg hatchability, larval mortality, and pupal mortality as compared to 100% N2 gas, at both temperature regimes. Application of CO2 at lower doses (below 50%) did not give 100% mortality of any developmental stage even at longer exposure timings. However, treatments at higher doses (75 and 100% CO2) were effective at 24 h and longer treatment duration. The application of 100% N2 did not effectively control C. cautella. Of all the stages, the larvae of C. cautella were most susceptible to the gases. Our results indicated that temperature has a significant effect on the efficacy of gases or their combinations tested after an exposure of 48 h and longer. Based on current findings, we conclude that CO2 gas is a good candidate for successful control of C. cautella immature stages under storage conditions and can be a potential alternative to highly toxic methyl bromide.

“…Depending on gas composition, exposure time, insect species and their developmental stages, effects of hypoxia vary (Donahaye et al, 1996;Hoback and Stanley, 2001;Soderstrom et al, 1990;Wang et al, 2001). Considerable research has been conducted on cosmopolitan pests such as Tribolium castaneum, Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus zeamais, Sitophilus oryzae, Rhyzopertha dominica, Cryptolestes ferrugineus and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Carli et al, 2010;Chiappini et al, 2009;Finkelman et al, 2006;Lord, 2009;Riudavets et al, 2009).…”

“…There is increasing interest in studying the potential of short-term exposure to controlled atmospheres (CA) with 02 levels below 1% and/or CO2 levels about 50% for postharvest insect disinfestation to meet quarantine requirements of fresh fruits and vegetables (Aharoni et al, 1979;Benshoter, 1987;Lidster et al, 1981Lidster et al, , 1984Soderstrom et al, 1990). Controlled atmosphere treatments can be used for quarantine procedures only when they can effectively kill the insects of concern without detrimental effects on the host commodities.…”

Ke, D., Rodriguez-Sinobas, L. and Kader, A.A., 1991. Physiological responses and quality attributes of peaches kept in low oxygen atmospheres. Scientia Hortic., 47: 295-303. Peach (Prunus persica L., cultivar "Fairtime') fruits were kept in air and in 0.25 or 0.02% 02 at 0 or 5 °C for up to 40 days to study the effects of temperature and insecticidal low 02 atmospheres on their physiological responses and quality attributes. Exposure to low 02 atmospheres for 3 days reduced respiration and ethylene production rates and internal CO2 concentration, but slightly increased resistance to CO2 diffusion. The low 02 treatments delayed incidence and reduced severity of internal breakdown (chilling injury) and decay of the peaches stored at 5°C. Low 02 atmospheres did not significantly influence changes in skin color, flesh firmness, and soluble solids content, but retarded titratable acidity loss and pH rise. Ethanol and acetaldehyde accumulated in peaches kept in 0.02% 02 at 0 or 5°C or in 0.25 02 at 5 °C. The fruits kept in air or 0.25% 02 at 0°C for up to 40 days and those stored in 0.02% 02 at 0°C or in air, 0.25 or 0.02% 02 at 5 °C for up to 14 days had good to excellent taste, but the flavor of the fruits stored at 5 °C for more than 29 days was unacceptable.
