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 ...

Matrine–Tea Saponin Synergism Involves Suppressed Detoxification and Digestion in a Leaf Beetle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Tea saponin and matrine showed synergistic toxicity against Plagiodera versicolora. Combined exposure suppressed digestion‐ and detoxification‐related processes, while silencing the trypsin gene Pver105950 and chitinase gene Pver001190 increased larval susceptibility to tea saponin and matrine, respectively.

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

Integrated pest management uptake in UK fresh produce: Barriers and opportunities

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.
This article explores the barriers to, and opportunities for, uptake of Integrated Pest Management in the UK fresh produce industry, through interviews with 24 key stakeholders. Findings suggest that the diversity of horticultural crops means IPM definitions and practices are inconsistent and hard to legislate and government policy has created ...

Aphicidal Potential and Metabolomic Profiling of Floriculture Leaf Waste Extracts Against Aphis craccivora Koch Under Laboratory Conditions

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
We utilized the leaf wastes of floriculture crops, namely Tagetes patula, Chrysanthemum grandiflorum, and Alstroemeria hybrida to determine their insecticidal potential against nymphs and adults of Aphis craccivora. Targeted and nontargeted metabolomics of extracts showed the presence of phenols and flavonoids, which corroborates the insecticidal ...

Clinopodium nepeta Essential Oil and Its Major Constituents Pulegone and Menthone: Composition and Activity Against Verticillium dahliae, Phytophthora infestans, and Macrophomina phaseolina

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
Chemical fractionation of Clinopodium nepeta essential oil reveals pulegone and menthone as markedly more potent antifungal isolates than the whole oil, with activity varying among pathogens. Pulegone exhibits superior efficacy against Verticillium dahliae and Phytophthora infestans, whereas menthone shows enhanced activity against Macrophomina ...
