Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Improving genomic prediction in wheat with random regression models with genotype‐specific phenology‐driven environmental covariates

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a crucial cereal crop for global food security, faces growing challenges from climate change. Future production requires varieties that are resilient to environmental extremes and fluctuations. The goal of this study was to assess strategies to increase selection response through genomic selection in wheat by ...

Leaf Extracts of Coffea racemosa Inhibit Trypsin Activity and Affect Larval Development in Spodoptera frugiperda and Diatraea saccharalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 527-535, June 2026.
Leaf extracts of Coffea racemosa inhibit digestive trypsins and impair the development of two major lepidopteran pests, Spodoptera frugiperda and Diatraea saccharalis. While both species showed significant enzymatic inhibition, biological responses differed markedly. D. saccharalis exhibited high mortality, whereas S.

Optimizing Sex Ratio and Colony Size to Enhance Reproduction and Mass‐Rearing in Spodoptera litura Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Skewed sex ratios frequently constrain colony performance and limit the efficiency of large‐scale rearing systems. For Spodoptera litura, the 1:1 initial sex ratio maximizes female longevity and fecundity. When this ratio is scaled to colony sizes of 20:20, 40:40 and 60:60, the 40:40 configuration yields the best overall reproductive performance, while

Major Components of Epicuticular Wax From Fruit of the Canadian Prairies: Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia), Canadian Dwarf Sour Cherry (Prunus × kerrasis), Haskap (Lonicera caerulea), and Red Twinberry (Lonicera utahensis)

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2026.
Composition of chloroform extractable surface wax from fruit was determined by GC and GC/MS. The major components of Saskatoon berry wax were nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosane. Canadian sour cherry wax was enriched in the pentacyclic triterpenoids and haskap in nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosan‐5,10,‐diol. Red twinberry wax contained triterpenoids.
