Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Feeding by slugs on maize imposes variable productivity costs but can induce compensatory growth under some conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Slugs can challenge crop plants grown in no‐till fields. Our results confirm that higher levels of slug feeding can be detrimental to maize plants, but low levels of herbivory by slugs can unexpectedly increase plant growth and occasionally yield. Abstract BACKGROUND In contrast to herbivorous insect pests, relatively little attention has been given to

Steaming soil is effective in eliminating invasive alien plants (IAPs) – part I: effect of exposure method

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2032-2039, April 2025.
As regulations on chemical pesticides become more stringent, it is likely that there will be interest in water steam as an alternative approach for soil disinfestation. This study investigated the feasibility of utilizing a soil steaming device for thermal control of selected invasive alien plants and showed a promising mortality rate for their ...

Attraction of cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) to host plant odors

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus, OSR) cultivation in Europe is threatened by the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala, CSFB). Limited management options due to resistance and environmental concerns necessitate innovative control strategies. This study explores CSFB responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by host and non‐host ...
