Diatomaceous earth as insecticide: physiological and morphological evidence of its underlying mechanism.

Published in: Pest management science (2024)

With state-of-the art techniques like open-flow respirometry and scanning electron microscopy, we demonstrated the underlying mechanism of diatomaceous earth as an insecticide and provided new cues for understanding the properties of the cuticle and its ecological importance. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
