Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 699-704, November 2026.We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

Effects of Defoliation Height and Time of Initital Defoliation on Regrowth Components in a Poa pratensis- dominated sward [PDF]
Two experiments on swards dominated by Poa pratensis L. were conducted in 2 climatically contrasting (wann/dry and cold/wet) years. There were either 4 or 3 initial defoliation dates in spring and 3 defoliation heights (2, 6 and 10 cm).

Cotton Defoliation Evaluations, 1998
, 1997 A field experiment was conducted near Marana, AZ in 1998 to evaluate the effectiveness of a number of defoliation treatments on Upland (var. Stoneville 474) cotton.. All treatments consisted of materials commercially available in Arizona.

Functional memory of drought affects leaf chemical defenses and microbial interactions in aspen
New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1413-1431, November 2026.Experimental design of the common garden study. Summary Drought is an important driver of tree mortality, but its long‐term impacts on trait expression remain poorly understood. Leaves are a key interface at which trees respond to abiotic stress, and foliar traits such as chemical defenses and microbial communities may play a role in determining post ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.Seedling weeding in tropical forest restoration may not be universally needed across all species. Its cost may not be affordable for private landowners. This research shows that all landowners who wish to plant trees on their lands should be encouraged to do so—weeding or no weeding.

Perennial Plant Response to Defoliation - An Overview
, 2004 Compares the growth of defoliated and nondefoliated perennial plants, with an emphasis on the link between plant structure, growth, and response to defoliation. Overview This lesson will compare the growth of defoliated and nondefoliated perennial plants.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, October 2026.The peptides SKTI and GORE‐2 triggered distinct midgut responses in Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). SKTI promoted compensatory digestive and antioxidant responses, whereas GORE‐2 caused broader digestive protease repression, weaker antioxidant activation, and greater epithelial damage.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, October 2026.Rational design of the trypsinogen pro‐region generated the peptide inhibitors GORE3, GORE4, and GORE5. Computational screening and enzyme kinetics demonstrated competitive inhibition of trypsin‐like proteases, with GORE5 showing the highest experimental potency and supporting pro‐region‐derived peptides as promising protease‐targeting molecules ...
