Biocontrol potential of naturally occurring entomopathogens against Maladera formosae in corn–soybean rotated systems

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We isolated three insect‐killing nematodes from Maladera formosae infested corn–soybean rotated fields, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Pristionchus sp., and Steinernema carpocapsae. Results from greenhouse and field microcosm studies indicate all three nematodes can infect and kill M. formosae grubs and persist through winter.

Suppression of rice blast and tomato late blight by Paraboeremia adianticola producing vulculic acid

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study presents promising results for disease control efficacy using the culture filtrate of Paraboeremia adianticola SFC20150402‐M24 and its major active compound, vulculic acid, which affects mitochondrial respiration. Abstract BACKGROUND In the search for new natural resources with antifungal activity, the culture filtrate of the marine‐derive ...

Effective chemical management of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination in pistachio nuts and orchards

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of various chemical fungicides in controlling Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin production in pistachios, with cyprodinil, fludioxonil, pyrimethanil and flusilazole showing the most promising results. Abstract BACKGROUND Significant presence of aflatoxins (AFs) in pistachio nuts has been reported during ...

Developing heterospecific sterile insect technique for pest control: insights from the spotted wing fly Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Irradiated Drosophila melanogaster males successfully court and mate with D. suzukii females and significantly reduce numbers of D. suzukii offspring under different species ratios. Abstract BACKGROUND Reproductive interference (i.e. sexual interaction between males of one species and females of another species that reduce the fitness of one or both ...

Induced allopatry as main mechanism explaining trap catch reduction in low dose mating disruption trials on the strawberry pest Acleris comariana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated pheromone‐based mating disruption of the strawberry pest Acleris comariana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). In treated crop areas males were more attracted to the dispensers than to the trap lures and aggregated near such dispensers, explaining the low catches in traps in these areas as an effect of competitive disruption via induced ...
