Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study shows that Orius laevigatus, alone or with other predators, consistently achieved the highest suppression of Thrips parvispinus and improved plant productivity. Franklinothrips vespiformis coexisted with O. laevigatus, suggesting compatibility, while Amblyseius swirskii declined, indicating incompatibility. Individually, F. vespiformis and A.

Seasonal influence of rainfall and crops on home range expansion by bull elephants
Pachyderm, 2003 'Knowledge of distribution and movement patterns in relation to their environment is essential if elephants are to be effectively managed because crop raiding is spatial and temporal in nature.' This study attempted to obtain estimates of the home ...

Safe Farming: Development of a Prevention System to Mitigate Vertebrates Crop Raiding
Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, 2018 One of the main problems for farmers is the protection of their crops, before and after harvesting, from animals and birds. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a model of safe farming in which the crops will be protected from vertebrates’ attack through a prevention system that is based on Wirelesses Sensors Networks.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The study shows ancestral dietary restriction in Phytoseiulus persimilis produces persistent, sex‐specific, multi‐generational effects on survival and body size, with stronger maternal than paternal lineage influences despite nutritional recovery. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist ...

Mitigation Of Primate Crop Raiding In Gishwati Forest Reserve, Rwanda
, 2013 Keith Summerville (Mentor) ; Michael Renner (Mentor)Conservation efforts are sometimes undermined by human-animal conflicts near protected areas, such as wildlife raiding crops from local farms. Since 2007, crop raiding conflict has been observed between

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...
