Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Ecofriendly control of Drosophila suzukii via the photoinsecticide chlorophyllin

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Drosophila suzukii can be killed by feeding with sodium‐magnesium‐chlorophyllin and photoactivation with sunlight or LEDs. Chlorophyllin supplementation does not result in food aversion. The moribundity increases with the light‐ and chlorophyllin dose as well as time.

Estimating the efficacy and plume reach of semiochemical‐baited traps on the capture of Trogoderma granarium everts

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
"Simulated warehouse": In this study, we take the step of testing existing and modified trap designs for Trogoderma after the release of T. granarium exclusively. This work will serve to evaluate trap efficacy, while providing a template for further attractant–kill research. The most effective trap was dome trap.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
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.

What you eat is what we need: using ants to detect spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) DNA

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The workflow of the ‘antDNA’ method. Ants actively forage on honeydew produced by sap‐sucking insects such as the spotted lanternfly (SLF) and can retain it in their crops, serving as effective ‘honeydew samplers’. Combined with a simple endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular assay, the ant‐derived DNA (antDNA) method provides an ...

Characterization of cyantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera frugiperda: Selection, inheritance pattern, and cross‐resistance to other diamide insecticides

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A cyantraniliprole‐resistant strain of Spodoptera frugiperda with I4790K mutation exhibited a resistance ratio of 3414‐fold and high cross‐resistance to other diamide insecticides. Abstract BACKGROUND Cyantraniliprole, a diamide insecticide, is widely used in Brazil to control sucking and defoliating pests, including the fall armyworm (Spodoptera ...
