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

Policy Priorities for Disseminating Biopesticide in Chili Farmers
Jurnal Ilmu Pertanian IndonesiaControlling pests and diseases of chili plants still relies on synthetic chemical pesticides, which have negative effects on agroecosystems. Biopesticides can be used as alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

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 ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9974-9983, October 2026.Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...
