Comparative Toxicity of Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Selected Insecticides

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Until recently, the Old World bollworm (OWB) Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and the corn earworm Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were geographically isolated.

Climate Change and Its Effects on Pest–Pathogen Complexes

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

Hybrid, plant population, and nitrogen treatment: Impact on preharvest fumonisin contamination in corn (Zea mays)

open access: yesCrop 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

open access: yesFood 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

open access: yesEntomologia 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.

How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2099-2115, October 2025.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

Registration of two Arachis hypogaea x A. diogoi introgression lines

open access: yesJournal of Plant Registrations, Volume 19, Issue 3, September/December 2025.
Abstract Two (2n = 4x = 40) peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) germplasm lines, GP‐NC WS 18 (IL‐29) (Reg. no. GP‐254, PI 708341) and GP‐NC WS 19 (IL‐49) (Reg. no. GP‐255, PI 708342), originated from interspecific hybridization between Gregory (2n = 4x = 40; AABB genomes; PI 608666) and A. diogoi Hoehne (2n = 2x = 20; AA genome) (GKP 10602; PI 276235).

Corn earworm in grain sorghum phosdrin and thiodan: Show promise as substitutes for DDT in two experiments with aerial applications to infested fields

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1959
Damage to grain sorghum by the corn earworm–Heliothis zea (Boddie) –has been especially severe in Butte and Glenn counties. Certain fields examined in 1957 and 1958 showed 90%-99% of the heads to be infested.
