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

Highly Efficient Generation of Germline Mutations Using CRISPR/Cas9 in the Speckled Wood Butterfly <i>Pararge aegeria</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe demonstrate the efficient use of CRISPR/Cas9 to generate germline loss‐of‐function (LOF) mutations in the speckled wood butterfly (Pararge aegeria), an ecological model species. Targeting the yellow‐y gene, we achieved nearly 80% mosaic LOF phenotypes in adults and high germline mutation rates in offspring.

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 ...

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2022 Background Biotic and abiotic factors influence survival, infectivity, development, reproduction, and activity of the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). EPNs have been used to suppress the soil-inhabitant insects, which applied as a successful biological
