Chilo suppressalis is considered one of the destructive pests of rice in many rice-producing countries. Given the adverse effects of the use of chemical pesticides in the rice agroecosystem against the stem-eating pest, pheromones are also considered expensive pest management tools. The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of using sex pheromones in population control and reducing damage to Chilo suppressalis in rice fields. In this study, five treatments including sex ph

In recent years, due to the high importance of nanotechnology, this science has been used in various industries, including military, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, medical, and insecticides. Nano-insecticides are of great medical, health, and economic importance because they are used to fight against plant pests and vectors of important diseases such as malaria with greater effectiveness than their conventional types. So far, samples of Nano insecticides have been produced by different methods,

The limitations of the usual and traditional taxonomy have caused a large number of arthropods, especially insects, have not yet been identified. In recent years, DNA barcoding, which is based on the variation of a short sequence of DNA, has provided a new alternative method for species identification. This method is innovative, fast, accurate, reliable, and applicable to a wide range of multicellular animals including insects. The DNA barcoding method is an important branch of biodiversity scie

The research was aimed at examining the embryotoxic or teratogenic effects of pantohematogen, which is produced from velvet antlers of the Altai Wapiti and is used as a functional ingredient in a range of confectionery products. A total of 180 female Wistar rats were studied. During the study, the rats were administered different doses of the experimental solution, although, no significant differences in either appearance or behavior were observed. The findings of the study indicate that pantohe

One of the important stages of mass breeding of parasitoid bees is storing these bees at low temperatures in insectariums. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cold on the possibility of keeping whole insects and pupae of parasitoid bees. In this research, 5-day-old pupae and one-day-old bee insects were stored for different periods in refrigerator conditions (absolute darkness and temperature of five degrees Celsius) and the effect of cold on various parameters of reproduc

In modern conditions, against the background of the negative impact in the form of sanctions on the Russian economy the retaliatory measures on the part of the Russian authorities contributed to a significant decrease in the number of food imports to the Russian market. In this regard, the problem of ensuring the food security of the country is significantly actualized. Consequently, a justified assessment of the role and place of certain types of agricultural products in the development of food
