Attract-and-kill methods for control of indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), and comparisons with other pheromone-based control methods
Campos-Figueroa, Manuel (2009-05)Scope and Method of Study: The approaches were to test attract-and-kill formulations in laboratory conditions, simulated warehouses and commercial establishments to control Plodia interpunctella populations. -
Combination Treatments for Controlling Stored Product Insects
Liu, Siwei (Oklahoma State University, 2005-12-01)Stored product insects cause substantial economic and quality losses to products. This project explored technologies for use in stored product insect management that rely on alternatives to organophosphate insecticides and ... -
Efficacy of Spinosad Formulations to Control Stored Grain Insects
Robertson, James Barrett (Oklahoma State University, 2008-12-01)Two studies were conducted to determine if different formulations of Spinosad provide the same level of control against insect pests in stored wheat, and to examine a possible chemical antagonism phenomenon that occurs ... -
Feasibility of delaying pecan budbreak and examining insects associated with stored pecans in Oklahoma and Texas
Morrison, Andrine Adeline (2008-07)Scope and Method of Study: A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of delaying pecan budbreak in spring using applications of Surround WP particle film and whitewash. Thirty trees (cultivar Pawnee) at Perkins ... -
Genes related to mitochondrial functions are differentially expressed in phosphine-resistant and -susceptible Tribolium castaneum
Oppert, Brenda; Guedes, Raul N. C.; Aikins, Michael J.; Perkin, Lindsey; Chen, Zhaorigetu; Phillips, Thomas W.; Zhu, Kun Yan; Opit, George P.; Hoon, Kelly; Sun, Yongming; Meredith, Gavin; Bramlett, Kelli; Hernandez, Natalie Supunpong; Sanderson, Brian; Taylor, Madison W.; Dhingra, Dalia; Blakey, Brandon; Lorenzen, Marce; Adedipe, Folukemi; Arthur, Frank (BioMed Central, 2015-11-18)Background: Phosphine is a valuable fumigant to control pest populations in stored grains and grain products. However, recent studies indicate a substantial increase in phosphine resistance in stored product pests worldwide. -
Initiation and regulation of prophenoloxidase activation in tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta
Lu, Zhiqiang (2007-05)Melanization is insect acute-phase defense response to invading bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and endoparasitoids. Phenoloxidase (PO) participates in multiple steps of the melenization reaction. Produced as an inactive zymogen, ... -
