Characterisation of aphid antixenosis in aphid‐resistant ancestor wheat, Triticum monococcum

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A blend of 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from Sitobion avenae‐infested Triticum monococcum accessions MDR045 and MDR049 was identified and shown to induce antixenosis towards alate S. avenae. Abstract BACKGROUND Due to the increasing presence of insecticide resistance across cereal aphid populations, new aphid management strategies ...

Investigating the threat to Sitka spruce from Ips typographus: discrimination and colonization of Britain's principal commercial conifer by a damaging forest pest

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The forest pest Ips typographus was found to demonstrate attraction to Sitka spruce, and to colonize and breed upon cut logs as successfully as its primary host Norway spruce. This has implications for the beetle's establishment and impact in Sitka‐growing regions, including Britain where I.

Attraction of cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) to host plant odors

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus, OSR) cultivation in Europe is threatened by the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala, CSFB). Limited management options due to resistance and environmental concerns necessitate innovative control strategies. This study explores CSFB responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by host and non‐host ...

Silicon fertilization in maize increases attractiveness of nocturnal herbivore‐induced plant volatiles to Spodoptera frugiperda natural enemies

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Silicon (Si) fertilization enhances the attractiveness of plant volatiles emitted by fall armyworm‐infested maize plant to the predatory earwig Doru luteipes by triggering the emission of the terpene neryl acetate. Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) fertilization has been well‐documented to enhance plant resistance against insect pests by increasing the ...

Olfactory preference in chemical host plant recognition by male and female click beetles and its implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Click beetle (Elateridae) olfactory preferences for plant volatiles, including those released by damaged plants, remain poorly understood. Olfactometer and electroantennography experiments revealed sex‐ and plant species‐specific olfactory preferences of Agriotes sputator beetles, with maturity influencing female responses.
