Transcriptome Analysis of the Brain and Gnathal Ganglion Reveals Feeding-Mediated Genes in Helicoverpa armigera Larvae

Biomolecules
Despite the central role of the gustatory nervous system in regulating feeding behavior in the larvae of the major agricultural pest Helicoverpa armigera, the systemic molecular basis of this process is largely unknown. To investigate the molecular basis,

The Efficiency of Aboriginal Entomopathogenic Nematodes from Semi-Arid Zone Against Tenebrionidae Larvae with Comparison to Commercial Bio-Insecticides

AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science, 2022
Chemical insecticides are intensively used in agriculture which cause negative effects on environmental sustainability by increasing pest tolerance and continuous action on local fauna. In contrast to chemical insecticides, biological insecticides target

Pathogenicity of selected isolates of the quarantine pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus to Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2015
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD). This nematode is considered to be an indigenous to North America and was introduced to Japan in the late 19th century.

A modeling framework for biological pest control [PDF]

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2020
We present an analytic framework where biological pest control can be simulated. Control is enforced through the choice of a time and space dependent function representing the deployment of a species of predators that feed on pests. A sample of different strategies aimed at reducing the presence of pests is considered, evaluated and compared.

Organizmy pożyteczne w strategiach biologicznego zwalczania – grzyby owadobójcze

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2010
Fungal entomopathogens are widespread in nature and contribute to the natural regulation of insects. They can be exploited for pest management as biological control agents of pests in attempts to improve the sustainability of crop protection.
