Droplet size spectrum, velocity, angle and flow rate of pulse‐width‐modulated spray nozzles with adjuvants

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Optimizing PWM performance requires not only appropriate duty cycle selection, but also careful choice of adjuvant formulation tailored to each nozzle type. Drift control agents increased droplet size and reduced fine droplets, mitigating PWM‐induced variability. Decreasing the duty cycle consistently narrowed the spray angle.

Mapping the global threat of Mythimna separata (Walker) and its economic implications for Brazil's agriculture

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Global models identified high‐risk areas for Mythimna separata invasion, highlighting major economic vulnerability for Brazilian crops and guiding targeted prevention and management strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Identifying high‐risk areas for the introduction of invasive alien species is particularly important for agricultural pests with a broad ...

Perceptions, challenges and determinants of management strategy choices for combating fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) infestation in Ghana

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite high awareness of fall armyworm, a significant gap remains in the use of sustainable and effective control measures. Farmers predominantly perceive synthetic pesticides as ideal despite studies highlighting botanical and traditional methods as more sustainable.

Insect and Mite Pests

2020
Insect and mite pests are a major constraint to greenhouse production of vegetables, fruits and ornamentals. As the abiotic conditions in greenhouses are relatively stable and uniform in most parts of the world, the insect and mite pest fauna is dominated by a relative small number of usually polyphagous species.
