AbstractThe efficacy of pitfall traps baited with pheromone and cereal oil in capturing Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val and T. castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) was low (trap catch) in mill and simulated warehouse settings. In a simulated warehouse experiment, strains of Tribolium Macleay recently taken from mills were caught 24% less often in traps than were laboratory strains, and T. confusum was caught 40% less often than T. castaneum. Both species were found together in all flour samples taken from a Canadian flour mill. A comparison of the species ratio in flour samples with that found in traps revealed that T. confusum was caught less often in traps than was T. castaneum. In flour, T. castaneum burrowed more than did T. confusum, and there were differences in burrowing behaviour between the four T. castaneum strains. Mills infested with T. confusum may have higher levels of infestation than was previously thought, indicating that further research into beetle behaviour in mills is needed.

Background: The current study was conducted in the Laboratory of Department of Crop Protection, Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola to evaluate the repellent effects of different concentrations of extracts of Azadirachta indica (Neem, Moringa oleifera (Drum stick) and Hyptis souveolens (Pig weed) against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) at various time intervals and their interactions. Three concentrations viz; 5, 10 and 15% were applied to evaluate the Repellence of T. castaneum at five different exposure periods of 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours. Repellence action of extracts of A. indica, H. souveolens and M. oleifera evaluated against the T. castaneum had maximum repellency (81.63%) at highest concentration of 15%, followed by H. souveolens (79.37%) and M. oleifera (50.46%). Regarding interaction between concentration and time, repellence increases with respect to increase in concentration, but reduces with passage of time. This shows that toxicity effects of these plant extracts is directly affected by concentration and time. Therefore, this study confirmed that these plant extracts are effective in the management of T. castaneum and most effectively at higher concentration within short period of time.
