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 ...
