Nach Bestimmung der Schädlinge können im Frühjahr die ersten
Nützlinge gegen Käfer und Motten freigelassen werden. Da inMühlen wie auch in Lagern ganzjährig neue Ware angeliefert wird, muss dort immer mit einem Befall der Produkte durch Schadinsekten gerechnet werden. Solange Lagerware vorhanden ist oder neue Rohstoffe angeliefert werden, ist daher...
Early detection of insect infestation in grain storage facilities is of great importance to
avoid losses and massive pest spreading. Acoustics can be used to detect feeding and movement
of insects. However, so far in cereals this only worked on close range due to the low level of
insect sounds and the sound insulation effects of grain.
To improve t...
Acoustic detection of stored-product insects
Stored-product protection, museum environments as well as protection of materials are growing fields of application of macro-organisms for biological control in Central Europe during the last 25 years.
Previous reviews on biological control of stored-product pests published during the last 30 years reported results of laboratory experiments, collected examples for practical application in grain stores and in processing companies, and summarized the literature on the relevant control agents dating back to the beginning of the last century.
Die anfälligsten Materialien in Museen oder Sammlungen, sind (feuchtes) Holz, Papier, Wolle, oder naturkundliche Objekte, wie z.B. Herbarien- oder Insektensammlungen. Aus diesem Grund gehören Textilschädlinge, wie Teppichkäfer, Pelzkäfer, Kleider- u. Pelzmotte, oder Holzschädlinge, wie Nagekäfer, Splintholzkäfer und Hausbock, sowie Papierschädlinge...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate two species of egg parasitoids under laboratory conditions
for biological control of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella, an emerging stored product pest in
bulk grain. Trichogramma evanescens proved to be a better candidate for biological control compared to
T. cacoeciae as it accepted and parasi...
There is a dearth of knowledge on the available sources of botanical products for smallholder farmers in Africa and their bioactivity against stored-product pests. Many locally available plants across Africa exhibit both promising insecticidal, medicinal activity and are nutrient rich yet remain underutilized. Laboratory studies on toxicity of powd...
Grundlegend für die biologische Bekämpfung von Vorratsschädlingen ist das Monitoring der Schädlingspopulationen. Im Rahmen eines Projektes zur Bekämpfung von Vorratsschädlingen in Getreidelagern mit Nützlingen wurde die Phänologie der Dörrobstmotte Plodia interpunctella in verschiedenen Getreidelagern untersucht. Dazu wurden verschiedene Techniken...
Häufig finden sich in Museen, Sammlungen und historischen Gebäuden nicht nur Schäden, sondern auch tote oder lebende Organismen, die potenziell für die beobachteten Probleme verantwortlich sein könnten. Doch handelt es sich bei den Tierchen tatsächlich um die Schädlinge? Im Sommer dringen mitunter auch harmlose Freilandtiere in Räume ein. Diese Fra...
Long-term storages have special requirements to stored product protection. Therefore a three year project was established to improve and adjust existing biological control strategies to those conditions. To secure an early detection of pests especially of the granary weevil Sitophilus granarius, three different trap types were tested: plastic cups...
Native natural enemies are preferred for biological control, because they are not expected to negatively affect non-target organisms. In this publication, a recently compiled stored-product insect checklist for Germany is discussed in the context of insect ecology and biological control. The 213 insect species found to be associated with stored pro...
Natural enemies are known from many cultural heritage pests, but their potential for biological control has been only marginally exploited. In this publication, examples of practical and commercial application of parasitoids of beetles and moths are compiled as well as laboratory research that contributes to the development of guidelines for parasi...

The potential of using Habrobracon hebetor for the inundative biological control of Corcyra cephalonica in rice stored in jute bags and in bulk was assessed. Host-finding in the situation of bag storage was tested by preparing small jute bags measuring 18 · 16 cm filled with 5 kg of un-infested rice grains. In the first experiment, 60 larvae of C....
Spatial effects on competition between the larval parasitoids Habrobracon hebetor (s ay ) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Venturia canescens (G ravenhorst ) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) parasitising the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) The Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralida...
Wenn Vorratsschädlinge gefüllte Säcke befallen ist eine Bekämpfung mit Hilfe durchgreifender Methoden wie z.B. Begasung oder der Einsatz von Kälte möglich. Die Anwendung dieser Verfahren ist aber technisch nicht immer realisierbar. Verschiedene parasitoide Hymenopteren werden zur biologischen Bekämpfung von Vorratsschädlingen eingesetzt. Diese Wesp...
Monitoring of natural enemies of the furniture beetle Anobium punctatum (L., 1758) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae). Anobium punctatum is common in Central Europe in buildings, and more rarely in natural habitats. Development takes place in nearly all native conifer and deciduous wood species, respectively, as well as in several tropical woods. Nowadays, da...
The Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella is a suitable host for the hymenopteran parasitoids Habrobracon hebetor and Venturia canescens. The two larval parasitoids differ in the following biological traits: H. hebetor is an idiobiontic, gregarious ectoparasitoid, and V. canescens is a koinobiontic, solitary endoparasitoid. Previous laborato...
Potential of the parasitic wasp Lariophagus distinguendus (FÖRSTER) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) to control the tobacco beetle Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae). Lariophagus distinguendus (FÖRSTER) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is a parasitoid of larvae and pupae of a number of beetle species that are pests of stored products. For bio...
