  The red flour beetles Tribolium castaneum is one of the most important pests of stored products, to control this pests plant extracts are suitable components as alternate for chemical pesticides. On the other hand herbs as natural resources that are antioxidant properties, The attention of researchers for use in the food and biological systems are located. In this research theefficiency of Pimpinella anisum extract on biological activity of anise Tribolium castaneum and its antioxidant functional is evaluated. In this study, the effect of seed extract of anisum on nutritional indices of adults T.castaneum, in 3 concentrations 50, 75 and 100 µl and respiratory toxicity effects of extracts ( 50, 89, 158, 281, 500 µl of extract per liter of air) was in vitro (29 ± 1°C and 65 ± 5% R.H.). Also the antioxidant effects of  P.anisum was investigated by two methods, radical scavenging, DPPH  (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method and reducing power of iron method. Nutrition a lindices showed that the highest and lowest concentration, respectively, has 86/94% and 68/82% inhibition of feeding. The highest mortality concentration was 500 µl/L of air at 24 hours. The required concentration to 50% mortality of population (LC50) at 24 hours after treatment was 215/19 µl/L of air. In DPPH test, the 50% inhibitory concentration of leaf extract was higher than seed extract, the same result was obtained from the power reducing of iron test. Manuscript profile

  The study was done during 2010-2011 to investigate the integrated effects of diatomaceous earth and three genotypes of corn on adults mortality of red flour beetle Tribolium costaneum in laboratory conditions (27°C, 60±5% RH and dark). The adults of red flour beetle fed with three concentrations of diatomaceous earth (0.5, 1 and 1.5 gr/kg) on three genotypes of corn in 4 replications. The mortality of T. castaneum was recorded after 2, 7 and 14 days and compared with control. Results showed that there was significant differences between genotypes and different concentration of diatomaceous earth. The comparison of means showed that 1 gr/kg concentration and KE1728/8 genotype of corn were the best treatment separately. Results of integrated effects showed that percentage of mortality had a significant difference only on 14th days. So 0.5 gr/kg concentration of diatomaceous earth and KE720/12    genotype are recommended as the best integration. Manuscript profile

  The cereals are one of the most important problems in the stored products that have been stored after harvest until consumption. The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), The Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) and the bean beetle (Callosobruchus maculat) are the most important cosmopolitan stored pests. In this study, the effects of five juniper extract concentrations were performed on percent mortality of storage pests with three replications and under 25±2 C° and 65±5% RH condition. Contact toxicity was investigated by spraying the extracts on a Ptridish surface using Potter’s spray tower. Fifteen insects were released to each Ptridishe and mortality was counted after 24, 48 and 72 hours. The results of bioassays showed that with an increase in plant extract concentration, mortality increased significantly. The LC50 values after 24, 48 and 72 hours for the adults of the red flour beetle were calculated as 22662, 67056 and 73103 respectively. The LC50 values after 24, 48 and 72 hours for the bean beetle were estimated as 55231, 67629 and 71991 µl/L, respectively. The LC50 values after 24, 48 and 72 hours for the Mediterranean flour moth last instar larvae were obtained as 71842, 101289 and 145583 µl/L, respectively. Manuscript profile

  To alleviate insect pest problems in storage, synthetic pesticides are recommended, but their use may create toxicity to non-target organisms, development of resistance and residues in treated products. Under such circumstances the need for research to find a safe, convenient, durable and economically logical method is necessary. The application of repellents could be considered as a new control method in storage. In this study the repellency effect of Coconut soap (Palizin®) was assayed on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and Lasioderma serricorne (F.). Adults and larvae of T. castaneum and L. serricorne exposed to 0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10% concentration of Coconut soap (Palizin®)  (botanical compound) using three techniques such as: filter papers, Y- shape Busvine tube and leaky glass bioassays. In each of three methods, the maximum repellency effect of Coconut soap (Palizin®)  was in concentration of 10%, and, the quantities were equal to 78.87, 74.27 and 56.93% for adults of T. castaneum and 72.70%, 85.86% and 45.60% for L. serricorne in Petri-dish, Y- shape Busvine tube and leaky glass techniques respectively.

  The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Hbst., is an important pest of food processing facilities world wide. The use of elevated temperatures or heat treatments is a very effective method for managing of stored pests. In this study, the mortality of pest in 5 constant temperatures, including 35, 45, 50, 55 and 60°C at times 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes on different growth stages (5-days larvae, 15-days larvae, pupae and adult of T. castaneum) were determined. Insects after heating, at temperatures of 28±1°C and relative humidity 65±5% were maintained. The results showed that, the most sensitive and resistant stages were 15-days larvae and pupal stages, respectively. It also revealed that the minimum temperature controller for 5-days larvae, 15-days larvae, pupal and adults stages were 55, 50, 55 and 50°C, respectively. Therefore, considering the possible all growth stages in an infected mass, 15°C temperature in 55 minutes, can be effective for control of all pest growth stages. Manuscript profile

  The insert repellency of camelthorn (Alhagi camelirum F.) and nettle (Urtica dioica L.) extracts was investigated against red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) adults. The plants They were dried in room temperature and soaked in 98% ethanol, then concentrated by use of evaporation apparatus. Extract concentrations of 5, 10, 30 and 50% were prepared with pure acetone. Experiments were carried out according to filter paper method. Repellency percentage of each extract was recorded after one, three, five and ten hours of exposure at four replicates. The results showed that, repellency of both extracts increased significantly as concentrations rate and time of intervals increased. The highest repellency (76.6%) achieved 10h after exposure for camethorn and the least (3.33%) was obtained after one hour of treatment for nettle. Also, the repellency of camelthorn was more than nettle in all concentrations. According to results of this study, the camelthorn has a good potential to use as repellant for control of stored product pests. Manuscript profile
