Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Styrofoam Waste Feeds on the Growth, Development and Fecundity of Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)Nismah Nukmal, Suratman Umar, Sheila Puspita Amanda, Mohammad KanediIt has been reported that Styrofoam can be biodegraded by Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae within a retention time of less than 24 h and the larvae fed solely with Styrofoam able to survive for more than a month. The question is whether Styrofoam can be used as an economical feed in the cultivation of mealworms? To determine productivity effect of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2018 · 11,249 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOCORRENCE OF MISCHOCYTTARUS ROTUNDICOLLIS (VESPIDAE) IN MANGROVE SWAMPS ATTRACTED BY FISH IN DECOMPOSITIONJose Antonio Batista-Da-Silva, Antonio Edesio Almeida de SouzaVespidae is an important insect family that is among the largest predators of other insects in natural environments. This study in mangrove swamps was carried out in order to know if social wasp, Mischocyttarus (Mischocyttarus) rotundicollis could be attracted by fish (sardine) in decomposition. The insects were collected in mangrove swamps in Itaborai, every two weeks, totaling 72 samples from … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2013 · 7,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Recognition System for Pecan Weevil using Artificial Neural NetworksSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Pecan Weevil is a widely found pest among pecan trees and these pests are known to cause significant damage to the pecan trees resulting in enormous annual losses to pecan growers. Traditional identification techniques for pecan weevil include traps with pheromones to detect the infestation of these pests. However, these traditional methods require expensive labor hours to set-up … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Reliable Identification System for Red Palm WeevilSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is a widely found pest among palm trees and is known to cause significant losses every year to palm growers. Existing identification techniques for RPW comprise of using traps with pheromones to detect these pests. However, these traditional methods are labor-intensive, expensive to implement and unreliable for early detection of RPW infestation. Early detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 18 Jun 2012 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheat Resistance to the Adult Insect of Sunn Pest, Eurigaster Integriceps PutNima Sanaey, Tohid Najafi MirakSunn pest is one of the most serious pests of wheat and barley in Asia, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Using of resistant cultivars is an effective strategy for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In order to identify the resistant wheat to sunn pest, 79 Iranian bread and durum wheat cultivarslines were evaluated for resistance to natural infestations of sunn pest … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPecan Weevil Recognition Using Support Vector Machine MethodGhulam Mubashar Hassan, Saleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: The Pecan weevil was considered as the most dangerous pest of Pecan fruits. The aim of this research is to evaluate Support Vector Machine method (SVM) for identifying Pecan Weevil among other insects. Eventually, this recognition system will serve in a wireless imaging network for monitoring Pecan Weevils. Approach: SVM has been evaluated using two different kernel functions … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2011 · 7,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Networks Based Red Palm Weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Olivier) Recognition SystemSaleh Mufleh Al-Saqer, Ghulam Mubashar HassanProblem statement: The most dangerous insect for the existence of palm trees in entire world is Red Palm Weevil (scientifically named as Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Oliveir). The proposed research is conducted to develop an identification system for Automated Wireless Red Palm Weevil Detection and exterminated. The core idea of the proposed research is to develop software that can utilize image processing … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 9,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional Value of the Maize Stalk Borer and American Bollworm as Unconventional Protein SourcesA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: The maize stalk borer and American bollworm were grown in an artificial media to evaluate their potential as human food sources. Approach: Both cultures were started from moths and the life cycle and culture structures were evaluated. Results: The larvae of both insects reached maximum weight and maximum length at the same time.
