Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

School IPM Outreach and Research Activities, NYS IPM Program, 2004 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Integrated pest management in schools is needed to reduce risks to children and others from both pests and the overuse of pesticides. The NYS IPM Program was involved in several extension and applied research activities at schools in 2004.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Evaluating predatory arthropods for the biological control of the invasive Thrips parvispinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in greenhouse sweet pepper

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that Orius laevigatus, alone or with other predators, consistently achieved the highest suppression of Thrips parvispinus and improved plant productivity. Franklinothrips vespiformis coexisted with O. laevigatus, suggesting compatibility, while Amblyseius swirskii declined, indicating incompatibility. Individually, F. vespiformis and A.

La eficiencia de los bancos de desarrollo mexicanos: mediciones determinísticas y estocásticas

open access: yesRevista de Economía, 2018
Medimos la eficiencia y productividad de los bancos de desarrollo mexicanos durante el periodo 2011-2017. Las mediciones son estimadas usando técnicas de análisis-de-envolvente-de-datos (ADE) y de análisis-de-frontera-estocástica (AFS) y el índice de ...

Genotype‐by‐environment interaction informs selection for seed physiological quality and stink bug tolerance in soybean under pest management contrasts

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genotype‐by‐environment interaction shaped soybean seed stability under contrasting insecticide regimes. Seed longevity emerged as a stable, management‐relevant trait under pest pressure. High‐pressure, no‐insecticide conditions improved discrimination of tolerant genotypes for integrated pest management deployment.

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

open access: yesPest 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.

Diminished UV radiation reduces the spread and population density of Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) [Hemiptera: Aphididae] in lettuce crops

open access: yesHorticultural Science, 2012
UV-absorbing covers reduce the incidence of injurious insect pests and viruses in protected crops. In the present study, the effect of a UV-absorbing net (Bionet) on the spatio-temporal dynamics of the potato aphid on lettuce plants was evaluated.

Optimal control and multitrophic physiologically‐based models: The binomial for successful decision support systems in insect pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Decision‐making in integrated pest management (IPM) corresponds to an optimisation problem where the plant–pest dynamics and the control actions are constraints and where the objective function accounts for the costs of the treatments and the total income at the harvest time.
