Modeling of suitable geographic areas for Striacosta albicosta in corn and dry bean crops under climate change scenarios. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
In recent years, the occurrence of the pest Striacosta albicosta has expanded from western to eastern North America. This study identified areas with suitable climatic conditions for the establishment of this pest. Our findings may guide government agencies to prevent the spread of this pest to new areas.

Feeding by slugs on maize imposes variable productivity costs but can induce compensatory growth under some conditions. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Slugs can challenge crop plants grown in no‐till fields. Our results confirm that higher levels of slug feeding can be detrimental to maize plants, but low levels of herbivory by slugs can unexpectedly increase plant growth and occasionally yield. Abstract BACKGROUND In contrast to herbivorous insect pests, relatively little attention has been given to

Preventative insecticides reduce seedling injury, but do not increase yield in Bt and non-Bt corn grown in the mid-Atlantic. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits, neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs), and in‐furrow pyrethroids (IFPs) can control insect pests of corn, but their target spectrum may be redundant and/or mismatch Mid‐Atlantic pest pressure. Across 9 site‐years insecticide treatments reduced pest damage and sometimes increased plant stand, but never improved yield ...

Attraction of <i>Telenomus remus</i> to Egg Volatiles of <i>Spodoptera litura</i> and Oviposition-Induced Plant Volatiles From Tobacco (<i>Nicotiana tabacum</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The parasitoid T. remus was attracted to OIPVs and S. litura egg volatiles. At lower concentrations of 1 and 10 ng/μL the parasitoid showed the highest attraction. The binary combinations of linalool (L) with tetracosane (T) and linalool (L) with cis‐3‐hexenyl acetate (C) strongly attracted the parasitoids.

DNA insecticides based on iap3 gene fragments of cabbage looper and gypsy moth nuclear polyhedrosis viruses show selectivity for non-target insects [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015
DNA insecticides are novel preparations based on short single-stranded fragments of anti-apoptotic (IAP) genes of nuclear polyhedrosis viruses. In this article we report about the harmlessness of the DNA insecticides based on single-stranded ...
