The impact of several preservatives, different methods of homogenization of main bait components, and base-paraffin ratios on the extension of longevity of bait base was examined under controlled laboratory conditions. Baits based on ground maize grain were exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions, such as high temperature (30 &deg;C-35 &deg;C) and air humidity (90%-95%). The exposure period was 9 days, and potential mold development was monitored over the same period of time. Sodium benzoate was found deficient in providing a satisfactory effect on bait longevity (&lt;5 days), in contrast to potassium sorbate (&gt;7 days) and sorbic acid, which provided the longest extension in bait sustainability (&gt;9 days). Preservative application can significantly extend bait longevity under unfavourable environmental conditions. Extended bait functionality is important for rodent pest control procedures in habitats where unfavourable environmental conditions prevail, such as sewers and water supply grids (collectors and pumping stations), public areas, housing facilities (boiler rooms, moist sellers, etc.).</span></p> Tanja Blažić Rada Đurović-Pejčev Tijana Đorđević Ivana Jovičić Irena Međo Bojan Stojnić Goran Jokić Copyright (c) 2024 Pesticides and Phytomedicine / Pesticidi i fitomedicina 2024-09-12 2024-09-12 39 2 35 41 10.2298/PIF2402035B https://aseestant.ceon.rs/index.php/pif/article/view/52616 <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">In 2016, the species Neopulvinaria innumerabilis (Rathvon, 1854), belonging to the scale<br />insect family Coccidae, was for the first time found in Serbia, in the location Radmilovac<br />on Cornus sanguinea L. It reproduces by gamogenesis, develops one generation annually,<br />and overwinters as a fertilized female on the trunk or branches of its host plant. During this<br />research, the species was detected on five host plants at six locations in Serbia. It feeds by<br />sucking sap from leaves, young shoots and branches of infested plants, causing desiccation of<br />leaves and individual twigs. Four species of its natural enemies were collected and reared from<br />colonies of N. innumerabilis. Two species of parasitoid wasps, Coccophagus lycimnia (Walker)<br />(Aphelinidae) and Metaphycus hageni Daane and Caltagirone (Encyrtidae), were found, while<br />the ladybird Exochomus quadripustulatus L. (Coccinellidae) and the fly Leucopomyia silesiaca<br />(Egger) (Chamaemyiidae) were identified as predators. The most abundant entomophagous<br />species was L. silesiaca.</span></p> Marina Dervišević Draga Graora Copyright (c) 2024 Pesticides and Phytomedicine / Pesticidi i fitomedicina 2024-09-12 2024-09-12 39 2 43 50 10.2298/PIF2402043D https://aseestant.ceon.rs/index.php/pif/article/view/53250 <p>Nema apstrakta</p> Milan M Ivanović Mirko Ivanović Copyright (c) 2024 Pesticides and Phytomedicine / Pesticidi i fitomedicina 2024-09-13 2024-09-13 39 2 51 52
