Influence of temperature on the population dynamics of Parlatoria ziziphi and potential for biological control by the parasitoids Aphytis and Encarsia in citrus orchards

Agricultura Tropica et Subtropica
The black scale, Parlatoria ziziphi (Lucas, 1853), is a significant citrus pest that weakens trees, reduces fruit quality, and significantly lowers production, thereby affecting profitability.

Evaluation of the users value of salts against apple scab and powdery mildew for fruit production [PDF]

, 2008
The research was aimed at finding anti resistance strategies for Integrated fruit growing. As the salts tested may be approvable for organic farming, the trial results are also of value for the development of scab an mildew control strategies for ...

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.

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.

Weed biodiversity and herbicide intensity as linked via a decision support system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A high Shannon diversity of weed species leads to low herbicide intensity. The decision support system reduces herbicide intensity at low weed densities and thus supports biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Extensive herbicide use is one reason for the declining biodiversity of arable weeds. This study aimed to investigate (i) whether herbicide decisions

Exploring the effectiveness of methyl salicylate and attractive traps in dispersing and recapturing glasshouse whiteflies: advances in push–pull strategy

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Methyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown
