Plant-parasitic nematodes infect a diversity of crops, resulting in severe economic losses in agriculture. Microbial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potential agents to control plant-parasitic nematodes and other pests. In this study, VOCs emitted by a dozen bacterial strains were analyzed using solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Fumigant toxicity of selected VOCs, including dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-nonanone, 2-undecanone, anisole, 2,5-dimethylfuran, glyoxylic acid, and S-methyl thioacetate (MTA) was then tested against DMDS and MTA exhibited much stronger fumigant toxicity than the others. Probit analysis suggested that the values of LC were 8.57 and 1.43 μg/cm air for DMDS and MTA, respectively. MTA also showed stronger fumigant toxicity than DMDS against the root-knot nematode , suggesting the application potential of MTA.

For understanding the toxic action of volatile sulphides, we have evaluated the insecticidal efficacy of sulphide mixture (diallyldisulfide, diallylsulfide and diallyltrisulfide) against F. adults by fumigant toxicity (FT) and contact toxicity (CT) bioassays. Further, diffusional characteristics of sulphides inside the treatment vials were analysed by GC-FPD and microstructural impacts on treated beetles were observed using SEM.

The greater wax moth (GWM, ) is a prevalent pest of the honeybee and a significant risk to both honeybee populations and honeycomb storage. Research on the toxicity of essential oils (EOs) to GWM larvae has provided promising results, although their ovicidal effects and active ingredients require further study. Identifying effective plant compounds is essential for developing insecticides for GWM control.

Phosphine (PH) fumigation is widely used to control insect pests in stored products globally. However, intensive PH use has led to the emergence of significant resistance in target insects. To address this issue, this study investigated PH resistance mechanisms by conducting both qualitative and quantitative proteomic analyses on the whole proteome of a PH-resistant Tribolium castaneum strain (AUS-07) using LC-MS/MS.

Introduction: Aluminum phosphide is a cheap and commonly used rodenticide that is also an effective solid fumigant and frequently used for grain preservation. The pill contains around 44% inert elements (ammonium carbonate) to avoid disintegration of the tablet, while the rest (about 56%) is aluminum phosphide. Because it is freely available on the market, it is one of the commonly used agents for self-poisoning in different parts of the developing world.

Recently essential oils (EOs) encapsulation is experiencing growing applications in agricultural and agri-food sector. Encapsulation is reported as safe environmental technology leading to a reduction of conventional insecticides use. This study concerns the assessment of fumigant toxicity and persistence of EO encapsulated in two cyclodextrins β-CD and HP-β-CD against larvae of the date moth, The retention capacity, encapsulation efficacy, loading capacity and release behavior of the two inclusion complexes were investigated.
