Unlocking consumer preferences: Estimating the willingness to pay for integrated pest management practices

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 483-506, December 2025.
Abstract Pesticides boost agricultural yields but bring environmental and climate concerns, driving a cycle of increased use. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) aims to lower pesticide reliance, yet it may impact ecosystems. This study examines consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for IPM‐labeled fruits and the role of climate awareness.

Oral delivery of double-stranded RNAs and siRNAs induces RNAi effects in the potato/tomato psyllid, Bactericerca cockerelli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The potato/tomato psyllid, Bactericerca cockerelli (B. cockerelli), and the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (D. citri), are very important plant pests, but they are also vectors of phloem-limited bacteria that are associated with two devastating ...

One landscape does not fit all: Diverse arthropod responses to land use

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Early studies and theory suggested that complex landscapes harboring remnants of natural land should support natural enemy populations and reduce pest buildup in adjacent crops, whereas landscapes interspersed with urban land often provide alternate host plants of crop pests, facilitating pest spillover and amplifying pest pressure.

Belief in neighbor behavior and confidence in scientific information as barriers to cooperative disease control

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 1457-1476, October 2025.
Abstract Recent public health events have brought to the forefront the challenges of incorporating collective action behaviors and information seeking and processing behaviors to motivate personal protections to an environmental risk. The economic and social costs of large‐scale spread of disease when there is no cure for the disease, only preventative

Predatory Mites in Citrus Under Protective Screen

EDIS, 2021
Managing the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), a vector of huanglongbing (HLB), is critical for reducing disease incidence and improving tree health. Growing citrus under screened structures, referred to as citrus under protective screen (CUPS), protects ...

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]

, 2016
In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

Psyllid Biology: Expressed Genes in Adult Asian Citrus Psyllids, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama [PDF]

The Open Entomology Journal, 2009
Where it occurs the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is considered the primary vector of Huanglongbing, HLB, disease of citrus trees. The plant pathogenic bacterium associated with HLB causes economic losses to citrus industries worldwide. To better understand the general biology of D.

Developing epidemiological preparedness for a plant disease invasion: Modelling citrus huánglóngbìng in the European Union

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1403-1423, September 2025.
Huánglóngbìng (HLB) is a bacterial disease of citrus that has significantly impacted Brazil and the United States, although citrus production in the Mediterranean Basin remains unaffected. By developing a mathematical model of spread in Spain, we tested surveillance and control strategies before any future HLB entry in the EU.

Predators for Asian citrus psyllid and citrus pest management

EDIS, 2022
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, invaded Florida over two decades ago. The need to consistently suppress it became apparent soon after detection and particularly after discovering huanglongbing (HLB) disease, which it spreads. Managing HLB depends strongly on vector control to either reduce disease transmission of healthy trees or ...
