Hybrid AI Model With CNNs and Vision Transformers for Precision Pest Classification in Crops
This study proposes a hybrid deep learning model integrating CNNs, attention mechanisms, and Vision Transformers for accurate classification of five major rice crop pests. The model captures both fine‐grained local features and global spatial relationships, achieving a high accuracy of 95% on an augmented dataset.

Fall armyworm (FAW) preferred ovipositing on vegetative‐stage soybeans. While ‘mother knows best’ may not apply in soybean‐FAW system, muffled cues in the reproductive stage could positively influence host success. Abstract BACKGROUND While the mother knows best/preference performance hypothesis has been well tested in natural ecosystems, how these ...

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 ...

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management
FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season. In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...
