Abstract: © 2017 Elsevier Ltd This study aimed to evaluate insecticidal activity of three diatomaceous earths DEs, two originated from Serbia (DE S-1 and DE S-2) and one commercial formulation (Protect-It, Hedley Technologies Ltd. Canada) applied at rates of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg (500, 1000 and 1500 ppm) on Rhyzopertha dominica in wheat, barley, rye, oats and triticale grains and their effects on mass of kernels and several properties: adherence, hectolitre mass, moisture, protein and ash contents. Mortality of R. dominica adults increased with exposure duration and DEs rates. In all tested grains after the longest exposure period (21 days), 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg rates of Protect-It, and 1.5 g/kg rate of DE S-1 and DE S-2 (in barley) caused 95–100% mortality. Offspring reduction of ≥95% was recorded after the application of 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg of Protect-It and 1.5 g/kg of DE S-1. The lowest weight of damaged grain was found after applying 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg of DEs to all grain types, and the highest in rye and wheat treated with 0.5 g/kg DE S-1 and DE S-2, respectively. The highest DEs adherence of 83–95% was detected in wheat, and 87–92% in oats, and the lowest of 71–77% in rye and 59–73% in triticale. All DEs significantly reduced hectolitre mass of all grains, especially Protect-It, 3.6–8.8%. No negative effects of DEs were detected on moisture contents, and the contents of proteins and ashes in the grains. The changes were due to the activity of R. dominica.
