Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Natural dyes are compounds that occur naturally in several organisms and are classified based on chemical structure and application method. The literature cites several natural dyes used in industrial transformation processes. Annatto dye is used in the food industry, and its biological pigment is extracted from the annatto seed. However, this

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rearing of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) offers a sustainable approach for producing high‐protein larvae for animal feed, contributing to waste reduction and nutrient recovery. While BSFL‐rearing is well studied, the role of non‐nutritive bulking agents such as sawdust remains unclear. Sawdust was added on top of the base substrate at 0%
