Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Advance of Nanotechnology for the Encapsulation of Botanical Insecticides

Bioprocess, 2017
本文主要阐述了利用纳米技术和植物源农药相结合的方式，发展农业害虫防控系统的研究进展。植物源农药因对人类和环境安全，其研发越来越被重视。但是由于植物源农药稳定性较差、易挥发等弊端，限制了其应用和发展。而纳米技术可以有效解决这一问题，纳米技术和植物源农药相结合可以开发出稳定性更高、效果更好、污染更小的新型杀虫剂。 The article mainly discusses the use of nanotechnology in combination with botanical insecticides in order to develop systems for pest control in agriculture.

Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity of European Triticale: GWAS of Yellow Rust Resistance and Agronomic Traits

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is an interspecific hybrid of wheat and rye. It is a promising grain and forage crop that thrives in poorer soils and low‐input farming systems. It can serve as a viable alternative to traditional small grains such as wheat and barley, bringing diversity to crop rotations and enhancing biodiversity in ...

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Botanical Insecticides in Plant Protection

Agriculturae Conspectus Scientificus, 2013
Botanical insecticides are natural compounds with insecticidal properties and their use in crop protection is as old as agricultural practice. Although they have been in use for over one hundred years, the advent of synthetic insecticides has unfortunately displaced their use today.
