ABSTRACT Leptinotarsa decemlineata even in organic potatoes, it is often managed using pesticides. Mulching potatoes represents an alternative to reduce egg masses and larvae of L. decemlineata. In three 4‐fold replicated field trials with unmulched control plots (a) in comparison to plots mulched with grass‐clover (b) or triticale‐vetch (c) the ...

Host plant location by Chrysomelidae
Summary Chrysomelidae are a taxon with an enormous plethora of highly specialised herbivorous species. The present study provides an overview of the knowledge available so far on cues guiding chrysomelids to locate a host plant. Host location behaviour will be addressed from different trophic perspectives.

Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close
