Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Impact of combination of vermicompost and insect frass on long bean growth and productivity at urban farming

International Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture
Purpose: Urban farming is experiencing rapid growth and is believed to be a potential solution to future sustainable food production needs. In tropical regions, highly nutritious legumes are a common crop in urban farming. However, most production still

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Postexercise Lactate Clearance, T2 Relaxation, and J‐Modulation in Human Skeletal Muscle Measured With Double‐Quantum Filtered 1H MRS at 7 T

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 3065-3076, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose 1H MRS lactate measurements are potentially valuable for studying energy metabolism in working skeletal muscle, but some technical obstacles need to be overcome. Spectral filtering to isolate the lactate signal from overlapping lipid resonances shows promise.

Codling moth populations less susceptible to CpGV: What about higher concentrations? [PDF]

, 2006
In an organic orchard with a codling moth (CM) population less susceptible to CpGV it was tested, whether an increased dosage of CpGV by factor 10 would result in any increased efficacy.

Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

Enhancing Stored Wheat Shelf Life: Advances in Storage Technologies, Integrated Pest Management, and Climate‐Responsive Approaches

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

Specificity Between Lactobacilli And Hymenopteran Hosts Is The Exception Rather Than The Rule [PDF]

, 2013
Lactobacilli (Lactobacillales: Lactobacillaceae) are well known for their roles in food fermentation, as probiotics, and in human health, but they can also be dominant members of the microbiota of some species of Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps ...
