Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Pollinator Visitation Alters Cranberry Flower Fungal Communities in Wisconsin Cranberry Agroecosystems. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
A two‐year study reveals shared fungal communities between cranberry flowers and insect visitors, including Apis mellifera, Bombus species, solitary bees and hover flies. Greater fungal richness was present in pollinator‐accessible flowers compared to those that were tented.

Swine Manure‐Derived Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Frass Enhances Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) Vegetative Growth and Soil Epigeic Macro‐Arthropod Abundance

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of swine production has increased environmental concerns related to nutrient pollution and improper manure management. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae offer a promising bioconversion approach, producing frass that may serve as a sustainable organic fertiliser.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration‐based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long‐term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Many agroecosystems face nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) deficiencies due to imbalanced or insufficient nutrient replenishment after biomass harvest. How this affects the symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the abundance of exploration‐based AMF guilds (rhizophilic, edaphophilic and ancestral ...

Cold hardiness dynamics predict budbreak and associated low‐temperature threats in grapevine

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Dormant buds of temperate woody perennial plants must attain cold hardiness to survive winters and timely lose it in spring to break bud while avoiding damage from low temperatures and late frosts. Therefore, we asked: Can a cold hardiness model be used to predict budbreak?
