They may cause significant problems in stored grain by direct feeding, damaging the grain, which may cause mold to increase and cause flour to change color. Currently, the management of RFB relies on insecticides with various modes of action which has resulted in pesticide resistance in beetles. Therefore, safer and more effective ways to treat stored product pests are needed. This research examined the use of chicken eggshell nano-powder alone and eggshell nano-powder combined with the biopesticide Spinosad in treated glass vials to control RFB adults and larvae. Laboratory trials with eggshell nano-powder alone at 0.04 mg/mm² and 0.13 mg/mm² were applied to glass vials adult RFBs were killed at or close to 100%. When RFB larva was exposed to eggshell nano-powder at 0.04 mg/mm², it had a mortality rate of only 48 ± 13 % after 7 days. Spinosad alone, when exposed to RFB larva had a mortality rate of only 56 ± 4 % after 7 days. When the eggshell nano-powder was combined with 1 ppm of commercial Spinosad, RFB larval mortality increased to 98 ± 2 % after 7 days. Thus, the eggshell nano-powder alone was sufficient to kill RFB adults, but in order to kill the RFB larvae, Spinosad had to be added to the eggshell nano-powder. The addition of Spinosad to nano-powder eggshells had an additive effect on the mortality rate of RFB larvae.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stored Products Research","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 102694"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, further research is needed to understand the factors influencing firm-level adoption of emerging technologies for sustainable post-harvest management: pest disinfestation, drying, and microbial inactivation, especially in the dried food industry. The current study focuses on the processing stage as it is characterized by significant post-harvest loss and, thus, has challenges and opportunities different from the production stage. A systematic review of extant literature using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method reveals that four emerging thermal and six nonthermal technologies facilitate different sustainability dimensions, such as economic, social, and environmental. Regarding adoption factors, three groups have emerged as influential at the firm level per the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework: technology, firm characteristics, and the firm's external environment. The study also finds that relative advantage and investment cost are the most important technology-related factors. At the organizational level, top management support and firm size are the most important factors. Consumers, competitors and suppliers, and government regulations influence adoption in the external environment.

Improved on-farm storage such as hermetic storage bags can reduce these losses, yet their adoption remains low. Full one-off subsidies can be an effective development policy to enhance technology adoption. However, policymakers are often opposed to such subsidies, arguing that it lowers willingness to pay (WTP) once the subsidy ends and thereby constrains the future market. Using the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) mechanism to investigate WTP and building on a prior randomized control trial among smallholders in Tanzania, this study analyzes how prior free distribution influences long-term WTP for hermetic storage bags (six years later). Additionally, we analyze how offering a deferred payment option influences farmers’ WTP for hermetic storage bags. We find that the prior provision of free hermetic storage bags had decreased WTP. As an alternative intervention, we show that providing the opportunity to pay later increases WTP as compared to immediate payment. The study highlights that free technology provision may reduce future market engagement but a pay later option can be considered as a valuable policy tool for quick technology dissemination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stored Products Research","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 102682"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144070022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review introduces different pest management strategies, with a focus on chemical and biological control strategies. Chemical control, including fumigants like phosphine and insecticides like pyrethroids, offers quick and effective solutions. The emergence of resistance, environmental contamination, and health risks highlights the need for alternative strategies. Biological management tactics that use natural enemies like parasitoids, entomopathogenic fungi, and microbial agents provide sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Two biological agents, the predator <em>Teretrius nigrescens</em> and the parasitic fungus <em>Beauveria bassiana</em>, compromise weevil density with low ecological footprints. Integrated pest management works towards integrating these tools with prevention and monitoring into full, long-term control programs. Among these novel approaches, RNA interference technology and gene editing directly target weevil genes. This reduces infestations while safeguarding species that are non-target. Furthermore, precision technologies like the Internet of Things-based monitoring provide innovative, non-chemical solutions. This article highlights the economic implications of various pesticides, ranging from affordable inert dusts to advanced biopesticides. The integration of conventional and futuristic technology will help improve sustainable wheat weevil management strategies, leading to a reduced environmental footprint without any detrimental impact on grain quality.
