New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers trigger plants to release volatile organic compounds that deter herbivores, attract parasitic wasps, and boost defense responses, highlighting their potential for sustainable pest management. Abstract Grasping the dynamics between plants and herbivores, as well as the defenses triggered by insects, may hold ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

Biocontrol Agents in Signaling Resistance
, 2002 The mechanisms by which biological control agents suppress disease comprise competition for nutrients, notably iron, production of antibiotics, and secretion of lytic enzymes, as well as inducing resistance in the plant. The former three mechanisms act primarily on the pathogen by decreasing its activity, growth, and/or survival and require the ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Decisions on whether and how to manage introduced species can be controversial, but public attitudes towards introduced species management (ISM) are poorly understood. Despite the potential disruptive impacts of such controversies on public relations and conservation goals, decision‐makers are currently left with little information on the ...

Biocontrol of aflatoxins in peanuts [PDF]
Microbiology Australia, 2003 Aflatoxins remain the most important mycotoxin problem in the world, and peanuts are a major source of these toxins. Control of aflatoxin levels in peanuts on a commercial scale is possible by colour sorting and aflatoxin assays on shelled peanuts, and this is widely practised in developed countries. However, this procedure is expensive.

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Our study revealed a positive relationship between the structural complexity of forest plantations and their capacity to deliver regulating ecosystem services. The likelihood of occurrence and the density of breeding pairs of European honey buzzards increased in proportion to the structural complexity of Eucalyptus forest plantations: large trees ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

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.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Commercial entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were exposed to stress simulating spray application conditions, for viability assessment using different methods. Temperature impacted non‐lethal stress earlier than survival and activity, emphasizing the importance of measuring these parameters to assess pesticide application equipment (PAE) impact on EPN ...
