Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),

Disc Mower Modifications to Reduce Suction Effects Do Not Decrease Insect Losses During Grassland Mowing

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among other anthropogenic factors, intensive agriculture, including frequent mowing, has largely contributed to the decline of the grassland fauna in Central Europe. Disc mowers, the predominant mowing technology, have long been suspected to cause high arthropod mortality mainly through suction generated by slanted blades.

Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...
