The College of Education for Pure Sciences at Kirkuk University discusses a master’s thesis entitled “Biosynthesis of magnesium oxide and manganese nanoparticles using extract of rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and their evaluation as pesticides against the sawfly beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae)”
The Department of Life Sciences at the College of Education for Pure Sciences discussed “the biosynthesis of magnesium oxide and manganese nanoparticles using extract of rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and their evaluation as pesticides against the sawfly beetle Oryzaephilus.”
surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae)
Researcher Iman Imad Rashid studied the effect of magnesium and manganese oxide nanoparticles prepared bio-actively with ginger extract in combating the saw-milled grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis on rice seeds. The results showed that these particles reduced the insect’s reproduction and numbers, increased its killing rate, and reduced its damage to seeds while maintaining good germination rates. These particles are an effective and environmentally friendly way to protect stored grains from insect infestation.
