Combined effects of canola plant density and insecticide management strategies on flea beetle abundance, canola defoliation, and yield across the Canadian prairies

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing canola plant density reduced flea beetle abundance per plant and increased yield, independent of region or insecticide use, highlighting its potential as a component of integrated pest management. Abstract The crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera ...

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

Ethyl formate diluted with nitrogen is an effective biosecurity treatment for brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This research found that ethyl formate effectively controls adult brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys) regardless of dormancy state or temperature, at concentrations nine times lower than previous studies. Abstract BACKGROUND The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) (BSMB) is a biosecurity threat globally. Its most likely avenue of
