Cannibalism and Predation by Aphids [PDF]
Nature, 1968 APHIDS are usually regarded as feeding exclusively on plant sap which they ingest through stylet-like mouth parts, but they have occasionally been seen to feed on animal food. During feeding on a turgid plant, they do not have to suck but depend chiefly on the pressure of the sap for ingestion.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Silicon (Si) fertilization enhances the attractiveness of plant volatiles emitted by fall armyworm‐infested maize plant to the predatory earwig Doru luteipes by triggering the emission of the terpene neryl acetate. Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) fertilization has been well‐documented to enhance plant resistance against insect pests by increasing the ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi are major pests on wheat. Natural product‐based aphid resistance holds promise for the sustainable control of these pests. The current literature is discussed, highlighting knowledge gaps and challenges that need addressing. Abstract Cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi, cause severe yield loss in

Enhanced herbicidal activity of coumarin via carbon dot nanoformulation: synthesis and evaluation
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We synthesized carbon nanocarriers from black wolfberry and combined them with coumarin to prepare coumarin‐loaded carbon dots (Cm‐CDs) nanocomplexes, which could significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of coumarin on weeds. Abstract BACKGROUND The integration of nanocarriers with biochemicals can markedly enhance the stability and efficacy of ...

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.A cyantraniliprole‐resistant strain of Spodoptera frugiperda with I4790K mutation exhibited a resistance ratio of 3414‐fold and high cross‐resistance to other diamide insecticides. Abstract BACKGROUND Cyantraniliprole, a diamide insecticide, is widely used in Brazil to control sucking and defoliating pests, including the fall armyworm (Spodoptera ...

Artificially perforated holes in stems of small hogweed mimic ecosystem engineering by a moth
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 10, Page 1302-1310, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Ecosystem engineers are species that manipulate the physical state of ecosystems and thereby affect the behaviour and ecology of other species. Mature larvae of the parsnip webworm, Depressaria radiella Goeze, chew holes in the hollow stems of Heracleum sphondylium L. into which they pupate.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 10, Page 1260-1271, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Scaphoideus titanus (Ball) is a Nearctic leafhopper (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), monophagous on Vitis spp., naturalized in European vineyards since the 20th century. Following its introduction and establishment in Europe, S. titanus became the main vector of Flavescence dorée phytoplasma (FDp) to grapevine. FDp causes heavy economic losses
