Automatic Detection and Monitoring of Insect Pests—A Review

Agriculture, 2020
Many species of insect pests can be detected and monitored automatically. Several systems have been designed in order to improve integrated pest management (IPM) in the context of precision agriculture.

Transcriptomic Insights into Host Metabolism and Immunity Changes after Parasitization by Leptopilina myrica

Insects
Parasitoids commonly manipulate their host’s metabolism and immunity to facilitate their offspring survival, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we deconstructed the manipulation strategy of a newly discovered parasitoid wasp, L.

Migration and Attacking Ability of Bursaphelenchus mucronatus in Pinus thunbergii Stem Cuttings

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2016
To understand how Bursaphelenchus xylophilus kills pine trees, the differences between the effects of B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus on pine trees are usually compared. In this study, the migration and attacking ability of a non-pathogenic B. mucronatus

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests.

Pest Management Science
Entomopathogenic fungi capable of establishing mutualistic endophytic relationships with plants have a tremendous potential as biocontrol agents of insect pests. While fungi have long played an important and highly effective role in pest suppression, the

Double-Stranded RNA Technology to Control Insect Pests: Current Status and Challenges

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Exploiting the RNA interference (RNAi) gene mechanism to silence essential genes in pest insects, leading to toxic effects, has surfaced as a promising new control strategy in the past decade.

Tree Diversity and Forest Resistance to Insect Pests: Patterns, Mechanisms and Prospects.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2020
Ecological research conducted over the past five decades has shown that increasing tree species richness at forest stands can improve tree resistance to insect pest damage. However, the commonality of this finding is still under debate.

Research on Recognition Model of Crop Diseases and Insect Pests Based on Deep Learning in Harsh Environments

IEEE Access, 2020
Agricultural diseases and insect pests are one of the most important factors that seriously threaten agricultural production. Early detection and identification of pests can effectively reduce the economic losses caused by pests.

An Age-Stage, Two-Sex Life Table for Megalurothrips usitatus Feeding on Eight Different Crop Plants

Agronomy
Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) feeds on the young tissues of plants, causing wilting and deformity of leaves as well as damage to flowers and fruits, thereby seriously affecting plant yield. Due to its small size and difficulty of control, the species

Revealing the difference of α-amylase and CYP6AE76 gene between polyphagous Conogethes punctiferalis and oligophagous C. pinicolalis by multiple-omics and molecular biological technique

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Conogethes pinicolalis has been thought as a Pinaceae-feeding variant of the yellow peach moth, Conogethes punctiferalis. The divergence of C. pinicolalis from the fruit-feeding moth C.
