Amendment of Potting Soil With Black Soldier Fly Byproducts Affects Fungus Gnat Development
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.The study's three experiments were conducted in accordance with the development stages of fungus gnats, with adults emerging from the four treatment substrates and being caught on sticky cards as a common indicator. The treatments were formed from peat‐free potting soil, either pure or supplemented with combinations of byproducts from black soldier fly

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

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.
