A simple food chain (plant, insect pests, and predatory arthropods) in an agro-ecosystem was set up here as a model system to elucidate the potential effect of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton on non-target organisms.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua
The beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua is a polyphagous caterpillar that causes serious damage to many species of crops and vegetables. To gain insight into how this polyphagous insect differs from less harmful oligophagous species, we generated a chromosome-level assembly and compared it to closely related species with the same or different feeding ...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Cold hardiness process of beet armyworm larvae, Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Cold hardiness is one of the most common adaptations of insects at low temperatures. To understand the cold hardiness strategy of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), six temperature treatments were tested on the last instar larvae.

Control of Beet Armyworm on Pepper, Spring 1996 [PDF]
Abstract Pepper seedlings were transplanted in Rockdale soil on 5 Oct, 1995. A RCB design was employed to provide 3 replicates each for 8 treatments comprising a plot size of 2 rows, 25 feet long. Insecticide applications were initiated on 15 Nov, 1995 and continued at approximately 7-day intervals.

These findings provide strong mechanistic evidence for VOCs mediating pest resistance and suggest that exposure to herbivore‐induced, plant‐derived VOCs can enhance pest resistance in potato crops. These results might offer novel information for developing ecologically sustainable plant volatile‐based strategies for boosting protection against pests in

Comparative demographic parameters of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lep.: Noctuidae) on four commercial sugar beet cultivars [PDF]
The effects of four sugar beet cultivars (Anaconda, Rozier, Evelina and Flores) on the life table parameters of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lep.: Noctuidae) were evaluated at 26 ± 1 °C, 60 ± 5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16: 8 h (L:

Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not
