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.

Subterranean, herbivore-induced plant volatile increases biological control activity of multiple beneficial nematode species in distinct habitats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While the role of herbivore-induced volatiles in plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions is well documented aboveground, new evidence suggests that belowground volatile emissions can protect plants by attracting entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs ...

In Planta Localization of Endophytic Cordyceps fumosorosea in Carrizo Citrus
Microorganisms, 2021 Entomopathogenic fungi can be a useful resource for controlling insect vectors of citrus plant pathogens, such as the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) associated with huanglongbing or the citrus root weevil (Diaprepes abbreviatus) associated with ...

Diaprepes Root Weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (Linnaeus) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
EDIS, 1998 This document provides an in-depth profile of the Diaprepes root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, a significant pest in Florida. Native to the Caribbean, it was first reported in Florida in 1964 and has since spread, causing extensive damage to citrus and

Plants use identical inhibitors to protect their cell wall pectin against microbes and insects
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 8, Page 3814-3824, April 2020., 2020 Whether polygalacturonase‐inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) play a role in defense against herbivorous beetles is unknown. Feeding assays with the leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae on Arabidopsis thaliana pgip mutants were performed. Fitness was increased when larvae were fed on mutant plants compared to wild‐type plants.

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2017., 2017 Abstract Following a request from EFSA, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science behind the risk assessment of plant protection products for in‐soil organisms. The current risk assessment scheme is reviewed, taking into account new regulatory frameworks and scientific developments. Proposals are made

Conspecific pheromone extracts enhance entomopathogenic infectivity
Journal of Nematology, 2019 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) provide economic control of various insect pests. However, field efficacy can be inconsistent. The ability of a nematode to find and infect (invade) a host insect is critical to successful pathogenesis.
