Edible coating of fruits is used to improve their shelf life and quality. Recently, there has been increased interest in using essential oils, chitosan, wax, and yeast as an edible coating material through antifungal activity, moisture loss prevention, control respiratory rate and maturation development. In case of orange fruits, essential oils (clove, neem, jojoba, rosemary, mint, and aloe vera) at concentration 4% for each oil, chitosan solution at 1 gm /litter, yeast 11 gm /litter and wax coated fruits survived the storage period of 21 days at room temperature whereas all the uncoated controls decayed within 7-10 days. The results showed that all treatments maintained the quality properties of the orange fruit juice (T.S.S, pH, acidity). The best treatments for prolonging the shelf life of fruits and maintaining the weight of fruits during the storage period were wax, yeast, jojoba, clove, and neem oils. Thus, essential oils, wax, chitosan, yeast as edible coating in fruits, would be an innovation and interesting means for commercial application and alternative to the use of postharvest chemical treatments and extending of shelf life of fruits.","PeriodicalId":441161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Plant Protection","volume":"16 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140520480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural substance as a physical method free of toxic residues in the storage ecosystem. A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the impact of diatomaceous earth (DE) on the Sitophilus oryzae L. as well as on wheat seed germination. Various concentrations of DE were selected at 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0.5 and 0.25 mg in addition to the control treatment without DE. Mortalities in S. oryzae adults reached 100% at rates of 11 and 13 mg DE after 6 and 7 days of adult exposure compared to 0% mortality recorded in untreated grains. Furthermore, the treated grains with DE at 0.25 and 0.5 mg within 1 and 2 days of exposure were unable to protect the stored grains against S. oryzae,while the seventh day of exposure had effective results of protection. Seed germination was only tested on the treated wheat grains within 7 days of exposure. Results indicated that the germination rate was accelerated as it reached 99% at higher doses of DE (11 and 13 mg) compared to 53% in the untreated seeds. Agro-morphological characters of tested seeds were also highly improved. The seedling length reached 59.41 cm compared with 24.30 cm for untreated seeds. The seedling Vigor index at 13 mg DE was greater (5881.59) than the control (1287.9). The present work demonstrated the effectiveness of DE at 13 mg DE/100g on the 7 day of release to combat rice weevil in cereals storage environments on a sustainable basis. DE was found to be an ecofriendly physical method for sustainable pest management in the wheat storage ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":441161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Plant Protection","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127211463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several colony parameters were investigated such as number of accepted queen cups, mated queens, and royal jelly production under harsh arid ecosystem of Ismailia Governorate during two successive seasons of 2019 and 2020. In addition, choosing the appropriate location of the broad frame inside beehive that will be used for the grafting process was also tested. The results revealed that the months from March to August were the most suitable months for queen rearing and queen mating, while royal jelly could be produced throughout the year. With regard to the studied parameters, data recorded the largest inner size of queen cups in May, June, May, July and August. The same trend of results was recorded in weight and length of newly emerged queens. On the other hand, the best location for broad frame inside beehive was in the middle of hives and the middle area of brood frames was also the best location for transferring larvae for grafting in the queen rearing. These findings could help local beekeepers and producers for best beekeeping practices to obtain strong queens in good qualities.","PeriodicalId":441161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Plant Protection","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123552694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that the temperature and EPNs concentration had a significant effect on the efficacy of nematode species. Full-grown larvae had the highest sensitivity compared to one and three days old pupae. The mortality percentages in the tested stages of C. capitata were increased as the concentration increased. The ability of H. bacteriophora was higher than of S. feltiae at all tested concentrations and temperatures. There were significant differences in terms of the number of IJs extracted from full-grown larvae and pupae of different treatments. Also, H. bacteriophora was the most reproductive, in vivo of full-grown larvae and pupae of C. capitata , at all tested concentrations. H. bacteriophora was superior to S. feltiae in reaching and killing the target host of C. capitata . Generally, H. bacteriophora had more virulent, high production and more ability to host finding than S. feltiae at all tested temperatures. Thus, the success of entomopathogenic nematode, H. bacteriophora as biological control agent against Ceratitis capitata seemes to be suitable for use in integrated pest control strategies.","PeriodicalId":441161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Plant Protection","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131592104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
