Oral delivery of dsRNA targeting essential genes reduces adult survival and grain damage in Rhyzopertha dominica, including highly phosphine‐resistant populations. These findings support RNAi as a complementary mode‐of‐action for resistance management and postharvest protection in stored‐grain systems. Abstract BACKGROUND Phosphine fumigation remains a

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Combining intensive drone‐brood removal with brood interruption provided the most effective and consistent seasonal Varroa control. Abstract BACKGROUND Varroa destructor remains the most significant biotic threat to honey bee colonies, and increasing resistance to synthetic acaricides necessitates alternative control strategies.

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...
