Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Recent Advances in the Reactions of Cyclic Carbynes

Molecules, 2020
The acyclic organic alkynes and carbyne bonds exhibit linear shapes. Metallabenzynes and metallapentalynes are six- or five-membered metallacycles containing carbynes, whose carbine-carbon bond angles are less than 180°.

Productivity, energy indices, and environmental impact of newly adapted ultrahigh‐density mango (Mangifera indica L.) orchards

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Increased farm productivity and income, along with increased energy use efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint, are deemed imperative for sustainable mango (Mangifera indica L.) production. In this study, we assessed the comparative benefits in terms of productivity, energy indices, carbon footprint, and farm income under ultrahigh‐density ...

Sustainable tea plantations: Harnessing chemical-microbial synergy and smart application triangulation for targeted weed control

Journal of Advanced Research
Background: Over 200 weed species—predominantly from the Poaceae and Asteraceae families—infest tea plantations. These weeds compete aggressively with tea plants for essential resources (light, water, and nutrients), serve as reservoirs for pathogens and

Optimal control and multitrophic physiologically‐based models: The binomial for successful decision support systems in insect pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9285-9292, September 2026.
Decision‐making in integrated pest management (IPM) corresponds to an optimisation problem where the plant–pest dynamics and the control actions are constraints and where the objective function accounts for the costs of the treatments and the total income at the harvest time.
