Synthesis and entomotoxicity assay of zinc and silica nanoparticles against Sitophilus granarius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
The granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius (L.), is one of the most important internal feeders of stored grain. Nanotechnology has become one of the most promising new approaches for pest control in recent years. In our screening program, laboratory trials were conducted to determine the effectiven...

| description |
The granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius (L.), is one of the most important internal feeders
of stored grain. Nanotechnology has become one of the most promising new approaches
for pest control in recent years. In our screening program, laboratory trials were conducted
to determine the effectiveness of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) and zinc nanoparticles (ZNPs)
against the larval stage and adults of S. granarius on stored wheat. Nanoparticles of silica
and zinc were synthesized through a solvothermal method. They were then used to prepare
insecticidal solutions of different concentrations and tested on S. granarius. Silica nanoparticles
(SNPs) were found to be highly effective against S. granarius causing 100% mortality
after 2 weeks. ZNPs were moderately effective against this pest. |
