Effects of different field managements on the abundance of cereal aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphidoidea).

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2004
The abundance of cereal aphids on winter wheat tillers and ears was determined in two field managements (integrated and ecological) at Dolná Malanta, Slovakia, over the years 1999-2001.

The age of tomato plants affects the development of Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas, 1878) (Hemiptera) colonies

open access: yesAgronomía Colombiana, 2021
We tested the hypothesis that the intensity and duration of Macrosiphum euphorbiae infestations in tomato depend on both the age (phenological stage) of the host plant and the initial number of aphids present in the colony.

Diversity of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) associated with potato crop in Tizi-Ouzou (North of Algeria), with new records

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2021
Aphids are among the phytophagous pests that cause serious damage to crop plants. In Northern Algeria, we have little information on their diversity. In this context, the study of the diversity of aphids was carried out in three regions of Tizi-Ouzou ...

Temporal variations in the life-cycles of aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) and their coccinellid predators

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
Aphids are either monoecious living either on trees or herbaceous plants, or heteroecious, which involves host alternating between a tree (primary host) and a herbaceous plant (secondary host).

Infestations and distribution of Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) on different varieties of barley and oats, effect of nitrogen fertilization and chemical control

open access: yesAgricultural and Food Science, 1990
Infestations of Rhopalosiphum padi were compared between common varieties grown at nitrogen levels of 50, 100 and 150 kg/ha in 1986 and 1988, and controlled with dimethoate in 1988.

Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

Aphids May Facilitate the Spread of Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Oilseed Rape by Carrying and Depositing Ascospores

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Aphids and Sclerotinia stem rot in oilseed rape are often studied in isolation, and their relationship is rarely explored. Our field studies have revealed a significant positive correlation between the number of aphids and the incidence of Sclerotinia ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
