Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

Pollen resources used by Chrysoperla agilis (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) in the Azores, Portugal
There are approximately 1200 described species of Chrysopidae, many of which are predators of agricultural pests. Species of Chrysoperla are mass-produced and sold for use as biological control agents of agricultural pests in Europe, Asia, North and ...

Abstract Genetically modified cotton GHB614 × T304‐40 × GHB119 × COT102 was developed by crossing to combine four single events: GHB614, T304‐40, GHB119 and COT102. The four‐event‐stack cotton expresses 2mEPSPS, Cry1Ab, Cry2Ae, Vip3Aa19 and PAT/bar to confer herbicide tolerance and insect resistance.

Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and their role in the control of aphid populations are discussed. The chrysopids of temperate zones face seasonal changes and must escape cyclic adversity.

Abstract Genetically modified cotton T304‐40 × GHB119 × COT102 was developed by crossing to combine three single events: T304‐40, GHB119 and COT102. The three‐event stack cotton expresses Cry1Ab, Cry2Ae, Vip3Aa19 and PAT/bar to confer herbicide tolerance and insect resistance.

The use of light traps for controlling insect pests is restricted since they kill both pests and beneficial insects. It may be a possible to reduce the numbers of beneficial insects trapped by adjusting nightly trapping time based on differences recorded

Beneficial management practices to stabilize Canadian wheat yield in a changing climate
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) remains a major staple crop, which is vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses that can be compounded by climate change. This review assesses the projected effects of climate change on wheat production globally with an emphasis on the Canadian Prairies.

The predatory lacewing Dichochrysa prasina Burmeister can feed and reproduce on various aphid species. However, other species such as the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch may serve as an alternative prey for this predator in the field in ...

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.
