Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Animals can adjust their behaviour according to previous experience gained during foraging. In parasitoids, experience plays a key role in host location, a hierarchical process in which air-borne and substrate-borne semiochemicals are used to find hosts.

A new egg parasitoid for possible biological control of the asiatic maize borer in Malaysia [PDF]
A species of egg parasitoid tentatively identified as Trichogramma papilionis Nag. was found attacking egg masses of Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee. The life cycle of the parasitoid was completed within 9 days; the egg, larval and pupal stages lastedfor 2 ...

Silicon (Si) fertilization enhances the attractiveness of plant volatiles emitted by fall armyworm‐infested maize plant to the predatory earwig Doru luteipes by triggering the emission of the terpene neryl acetate. Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) fertilization has been well‐documented to enhance plant resistance against insect pests by increasing the ...

Quality control of eggs using multivariate analysis of micro-Raman spectroscopy [PDF]
Considering the pivotal role of eggs in the food industry and their nutritional significance, this study employed micro-Raman spectroscopy of eggs, examining both shells and yolks to assess the quality and freshness of eggs. Raman spectra were collected at different temperatures and time intervals to investigate temperature and time effects ...

Eco control of agro pests using imaging, modelling & natural predators [PDF]
Caterpillars in their various forms: size, shape, and colour cause significant harm to crops and humans. This paper offers a solution for the detection and control of caterpillars through the use of a sustainable pest control system that does not require

Higher populations of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) and increased kiwifruit damage were recorded in organic orchards, BMSB population exhibiting a consistent pattern of two generations annually over 3 years. Feeding damage peaked at 59% and 60% in October 2019 and 2021, respectively, with no significant differences in overall damage rates between ...
