Identifying key parameters for reliable assessment of entomopathogenic nematodes viability as affected by spray application stress‐related factors

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Commercial entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were exposed to stress simulating spray application conditions, for viability assessment using different methods. Temperature impacted non‐lethal stress earlier than survival and activity, emphasizing the importance of measuring these parameters to assess pesticide application equipment (PAE) impact on EPN ...

Bifenthrin resistance in Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): inheritance, cross‐resistance, and stability

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Resistance of Dalbulus maidis to bifenthrin was autosomal, incompletely dominant, and polygenic. Additionally, this resistance was unstable in the absence of selection pressure. Abstract BACKGROUND Pyrethroid insecticides have been a primary strategy for managing Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil. Howeve, failures in the control of D.

Molecular surveillance of resistance mutations in invasive populations of Spodoptera frugiperda in Europe, for evidence‐based pest control

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
All Spodoptera frugiperda were rice strain with two haplotypes, likely from a common mixed source. ABCC2 and Ace‐1 mutations, conferring resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis and organophosphates/carbamates, respectively, were detected. Abstract BACKGROUND The invasive fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, FAW), a highly destructive pest affecting more ...

Biocontrol potential of naturally occurring entomopathogens against Maladera formosae in corn–soybean rotated systems

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We isolated three insect‐killing nematodes from Maladera formosae infested corn–soybean rotated fields, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Pristionchus sp., and Steinernema carpocapsae. Results from greenhouse and field microcosm studies indicate all three nematodes can infect and kill M. formosae grubs and persist through winter.

Induced allopatry as main mechanism explaining trap catch reduction in low dose mating disruption trials on the strawberry pest Acleris comariana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated pheromone‐based mating disruption of the strawberry pest Acleris comariana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). In treated crop areas males were more attracted to the dispensers than to the trap lures and aggregated near such dispensers, explaining the low catches in traps in these areas as an effect of competitive disruption via induced ...
