Reduced‐lignin alfalfa production in the water‐limited environments of the US Central Great Plains

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Previous studies indicate reduced‐lignin (RL) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars as a more digestible livestock feed option with minimal reductions in biomass than conventional alfalfa cultivars at the same growth stage, allowing for harvest flexibility. However, these findings are derived from environments with adequate moisture. Thus, RL

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2535-2552, May 2025.
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

Effects of Organic and Synthetic Fertiliser on Insect Herbivore Populations in Quinoa

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 515-523, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Fertilisers are used in agriculture to promote crop productivity. There are many nutrient sources in fertilisers, and different sources cause variation in plant defence and pest tolerance. Assessing how pests respond to different types of fertilisers is key to develop integrated pest management programs.
