Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Number of infested fruits, larval entries and F1 adults decreased as sterile males increased. Control cages had higher fecundity and fertility compared to treatment cages. Release ratios, 40:1 and 60:1 can enhance the efficacy of SIT. Abstract BACKGROUND Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a significant pest of citrus in ...

Genomic Analysis of Resistance to Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in CIMMYT Maize Lines

Genes, 2022
The recent invasion, rapid spread, and widescale destruction of the maize crop by the fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)) is likely to worsen the food insecurity situation in Africa. In the present study, a set of 424 maize lines were

Resistance to Fall Armyworm in Converted Sorghums

The Florida Entomologist, 1990
Field experiments were conducted in 1988 to evaluate newly converted sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, germplasm for both whorl and panicle resistance to feeding by larvae of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). In the whorl-stage resistance study, over 20 and 30 of the entries were significantly more resistant to FAW ...

Provision of pest alerts is associated with better farm performance in Africa

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Provision of pest alerts on invasive crop pest control in Africa was linked with a higher likelihood of adopting integrated pest management practices, as well as an improvement in crop yield and income. The results suggest that pest alerts are crucial in sustainable pest management strategies against invasive pests. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop pests cause

Cold tolerance strategies of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Scientific Reports, 2022
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of the American continent and is one of the world's most destructive insect pests and invaded Africa and spread to most of Asia in two years.

Eco control of agro pests using imaging, modelling & natural predators [PDF]

, 2014
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

Muffled olfactory and sensory cues from the reproductive stage soybean selectively reduce oviposition of a major polyphagous herbivore, fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Plant Nutrition Influences Resistant Maize Defense Responses to the Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Plants are often confronted by different groups of herbivores, which threaten their growth and reproduction. However, they are capable of mounting defenses against would-be attackers which may be heightened upon attack. Resistance to insects often varies

The influence of the atmospheric boundary layer on nocturnal layers of noctuids and other moths migrating over southern Britain [PDF]

, 2006
Insects migrating at high altitude over southern Britain have been continuously monitored by automatically-operating, vertical-looking radars over a period of several years.
