heal.abstract	BACKGROUND:Psocidsareemergingpestsinstoredproducts, particularlyinamylaceouscommoditiessuchasgrains.Currently, their control is based on the use of fumigants and contact insecticides; however, newer data indicate that psocids are tolerant to insecticides used to control other stored-grain species. This study evaluated the insecticides registered in the USA for use on stored maize, rice and wheat for control of the psocid species Lepinotus reticulatus, Liposcelis entomophila, L. bostrychophila and L. paeta. Mortality of exposed adult females was recorded after 7 and 14 days of exposure, while progeny production was assessed after 30 days of exposure. RESULTS: On wheat and rice, chlorpyriphos-methyl + deltamethrin was generally more effective against exposed parental adults than spinosad or pyrethrin, while pirimiphos-methyl was more effective on maize than spinosad or pyrethrin. In most cases, progeny production was suppressed in thetreatedgrains. Progenyproduction was consistentlylowest on wheat andrice treated with chlorpyriphos-methyl + deltamethrin and maize treated with pirimiphos-methyl. CONCLUSIONS:Chlorpyriphos-methyl+deltamethrinandpirimiphos-methylwerethemosteffectiveinsecticidesforallspecies and commodities. Conversely, efficacy of spinosad or pyrethrum was highly dependent on the psocid species and commodity. Published 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.	en
