The Use of Gaseous Ozone to Control Pests in Ezport Commodities
Ozone was tested against several insects and arachnids infesting stored products（coffee beans, navel oranges and grapes). Tests were conducted 1) to determine the usefulness of ozone gas treatments to replace methyl bromide for the control of pests on exports to other countries,2)to determine any phytotoxic response of the commodity upon which the pest resided and 3) to determine the parameters that provided the highest efficacy and least phytotoxic response of the system. Tests were conducted with all life stages of the coffee berry borer(CBB), Hypothenemus hampei（Ferrari), adult bean thrips（BT), Caliothrips fasciatus （Pergande), mature female adult black widow spiders （BW),Latrodectus hesperus Chamberlin and Ivie and three species of late stage citrus mites, citrus flat mite （CFM), Brevipalpus lewisi, citrus rust mite （CRM), Phyllocoptruta oleivora, and twospotted mite, Tetranychus urticae(TSM). Results were highly variable dependent on both species and life stage tested. Ozone gas controlled all life stages,except eggs of CBB, at concentrations from ranging from 2,500 to10,000 ppm(v/v). Insects were tested as well as the commodity on which they are a problem.
