Climate Change and Its Effects on Pest–Pathogen Complexes
Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Climate change is intensifying the complexity and severity of pest–pathogen interactions in agriculture, threatening global food security. Rising temperatures, elevated CO2 levels, shifting precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are reshaping vector ecology, accelerating insect development, altering pathogen virulence, and disrupting plant ...

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fungal pathogen, Fusarium verticillioides, and they are widespread in corn (Zea mays L.), especially in the Southeastern United States. While there are several post‐harvest mitigation strategies to reduce fumonisin, there are limited studies testing pre‐harvest strategies. Therefore, field studies were

Hybrid AI Model With CNNs and Vision Transformers for Precision Pest Classification in Crops
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.This study proposes a hybrid deep learning model integrating CNNs, attention mechanisms, and Vision Transformers for accurate classification of five major rice crop pests. The model captures both fine‐grained local features and global spatial relationships, achieving a high accuracy of 95% on an augmented dataset.

Evidence for Female Autodetection and Plasticity of Pheromone Response in Helicoverpa zea
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1236-1246, November 2025.This study addressed detection and behavioral responses to conspecific pheromones (autodetection) in female corn earworm moths, Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Electroantennogram recordings showed that prior exposure to pheromones significantly decreased antennal sensitivity.
