Susceptibility of stored-product insects to enhanced diatomaceous earth

Mortality of adult Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Triboliumcastaneum (Herbst) was recorded after exposure for different times to application rates of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 g/m2 of the diatomaceous earth (DE) DEBBM-P/WP and to 0, 3, 4, 5 or 6 g/m2 of the DE Protect-It®. Mortality of all insects increased with increasing exposure interval; dry dusts were more effective than slurries, and overall mortality was greater for DEBBM-P/WP than Protect-It®.
