Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Biochar Suppresses Growth, Pupation and Eclosion Success of a Specialist (Manduca sexta) and a Generalist (Spodoptera frugiperda) Insect Herbivore

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Biochar is a charcoal‐like substance made by the pyrolysis of organic material from agricultural and forestry waste. While biochar is well documented for altering soil physicochemical conditions, few studies have investigated its possible effects on the management of arthropod pests.

Cryopreservation of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.

Journal of nematology, 2011
A method for the cryopreservation of third-stage infective juveniles (IJ) of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabiditis bacteriophora was developed. Cryoprotection was achieved by incubating the nematodes in 22% glycerol (S. carpocapsae) or 14% glycerol (H. bacteriophora) for 24 hours, followed by 70% methanol at 0 C for 10 minutes.

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Sustainability of athletic field turf comparing organic and synthetic practices under two heights of cut

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Long‐term comparisons over several years between organic and synthetic management are lacking in sports turf research. Our objective was to investigate playing surface qualities and soil properties over an 8‐year period. For this trial, Kentucky bluegrass (KBG, Poa pratensis L.) sod was established and annually inter‐seeded with perennial ...
