| The degradation/persistence of residues of the organophosphorus insecticide pirimiphos-methyl was determined in corn and popcorn grains and in some of their processed products such as grain, bran, hominy and corn flour from corn and prepared popcorn and grain from popcorn. The action of the insecticide on the control of the corn weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Mots., was also evaluated. The grains were treated with the concentration of 12 mg.kg-1 (ppm) a.i. pirimiphos-methyl for the control of the weevils. Samples were taken at zero, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 days after treatment. Quantitative measurements were made by gas chromatography, by using a flame photometric detector. For pirimiphos-methyl residual action studies, samples of both types of grain were... |

| The objective of this study was to evaluate the insecticidal activity of diatomaceous earth (DE) at different ambient temperatures on adult Sitophilus zeamais and progeny, using different doses and exposure periods. The experiments were performed in Petri dishes containing 40 g of the whole corn kernel, treated with DE at doses of 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 kg Mg-1. Each dish was infested with 25 S. zeamais adults and kept at climatic chambers under temperatures of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 ºC. The insect mortality was recorded after six and 15 days from the beginning of the bioassays. The grains evaluated at 15 days were separated from insects and kept in the dishes for another 75 days under the same temperature conditions. After this period the effect of ambient... |
