Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Insecticide resistance and control failure likelihood among populations of the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) from Mato Grosso (Brazil)

Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2019
The cotton producers from southern Mato Grosso are currently experiencing control failure with the use of the use of insecticides against the cotton boll weevil Anthonomus grandis Boheman, the main pest species of this commodity.

A Volatile Cue From a Specialist Herbivore Primes Gene Expression Against Biotic Stress in Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima L.)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

Reproductive Status of Boll Weevils During Season and Off‐Season of Cotton in the Cerrado of Brazil

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 113-122, February 2026.
Cotton boll weevils were monitored continuously and counted weekly over two agricultural years in the Brazilian Cerrado. The survey resulted in a total of 94 519 adults captured in approximately similar percentages of females and males during both the growing and off‐seasons.

Mpp23Aa/Xpp37Aa Insecticidal Proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) Are Highly Toxic to Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae

Toxins, 2023
The beetle Anthonomus grandis Boheman, 1843, is the main cotton pest, causing enormous losses in cotton. The breeding of genetically modified plants with A. grandis resistance is seen as an important control strategy.

The cotton historical lines project—Part I: History and field evaluation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Common garden experiments have provided great insights into crop adaptation across many systems. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) cultivars have changed in the 20th and 21st centuries, but breeders have not quantified the degree of these changes. We synthesized a panel of 164 non‐genetically modified genotypes, from the private and public sectors ...

Boll weevils in dry bolls: is there a performance disadvantage?

Journal of Cotton Research
Background Anthonomus grandis grandis is the main cotton pest in the Americas, with the potential to become a pest in other continents. The insect uses the plant’s reproductive organs for feeding, oviposition, and survival strategies in the off-season ...

Row Crops and the U.S. Agricultural Trade Deficit: Recent Trends and Policy Issues

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 1759-1773, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Row crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, and cotton are the backbone of the U.S. farm sector, accounting for around $60 billion of exports in 2023. While U.S. row crop exports remain robust, growing concerns over the rising U.S. agricultural trade deficit underscore the need to appraise the ongoing market and policy dynamics affecting the ...
