Insect Management for Sweet Potatoes

EDIS, 2021
Sweet potatoes, both orange- and white-fleshed varieties, are widely grown in Florida. Foliar pests, leafminers, whiteflies and armyworms, are generally not difficult to manage; in fact insecticides should be avoided to conserve their natural enemies ...

Testing the potential of entomopathogenic nematodes in attract-and-kill and autodissemination approaches in the control of Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) delivered in a fly‐attractive aqueous yeast hydrolysate solution cause high levels of mortality in Queensland fruit fly. Infected flies can still fly and thereby disperse EPNs before the flies succumb to infection. Abstract BACKGROUND Many studies have demonstrated that tephritid fruit fly larvae are highly susceptible

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Agriculture and Its Role in Maintaining Ecological Balance and Biodiversity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The production of sustainable crops and environmental management in farming face several significant potential obstacles, including climate change, resource depletion and environmental degradation. Weeds and insect pests that considerably reduce yields have put crop production systems in danger.

Frontiers in quantifying wildlife behavioural responses to chemical pollution

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 4, Page 1346-1364, August 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Animal behaviour is remarkably sensitive to disruption by chemical pollution, with widespread implications for ecological and evolutionary processes in contaminated wildlife populations. However, conventional approaches applied to study the impacts of chemical pollutants on wildlife behaviour seldom address the complexity of natural ...

Common bacterial blight of bean: a model of seed transmission and pathological convergence

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 22, Issue 12, Page 1464-1480, December 2021., 2021
This pathogen profile summarizes the current knowledge on Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. phaseoli and Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans, two phylogenetically distant groups of strains that cause common bacterial blight of bean. ​ Abstract Background Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans (Xcf) and Xanthomonas phaseoli pv.

Larvae of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae) have evolved a diverse and phylogenetically conserved array of plant cell wall degrading enzymes

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 784-797, October 2021., 2021
We addressed the numbers, kinds and evolution of cerambycid plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) by surveying larval midgut transcriptomes from 23 species representing six of the eight recognized subfamilies of Cerambycidae. We identified 340 new putative PCWDEs belonging to ten carbohydrate active enzyme families, including two gene families ...

A major forest insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis, is more susceptible to Diptera‐ than Coleoptera‐targeted Bacillus thuringiensis strains

Pest Management Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 1303-1315, March 2021., 2021
Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis on the pine weevil Hylobius abietis were evaluated for the first time. A Diptera‐targeted strain was most toxic and could enhance forest protection against H. abietis. Abstract BACKGROUND The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) is a major forest regeneration pest causing high levels of seedling mortality and economic losses.
