Abstract
The efficacy of the bacterium-derivate insecticide Spinosad and IGR Plus which contains methoprene (an insect growth regulator) and fenitrothion (an organophosphate protectant) against the two main pests of stored grain in Brazil: Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus zeamais was assessed. Two strains of R. dominica were used in the experiment, the insecticide susceptible strain BR4 and the pyrethroid resistant strain BR12. The S. zeamais SOZ20 strain has unknown susceptibility. The insecticides were compared with two standard protectants deltamethrin (K-Obiol) and bifenthrin (ProStore) used in Brazil to control these pests.
