The omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus induces production of plant volatiles that attract a specialist predator

open access: yesJournal of Pest Science, 2022
It has become clear that omnivorous predators can induce plant defences that affect the performance and host plant choice of herbivores. They are also known to induce the production of plant volatiles that can affect the behaviour of herbivores searching for plants.

Light‐emitting diode traps in commercial greenhouses: A field study report on Encarsia formosa bycatch

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 1, Page 40-48, January 2025.
Yellow sticky traps (YSTs) and green light‐emitting diode (LED) traps were compared to investigate their attractiveness to the whitefly parasitoid Encarsia formosa (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) under practical growing conditions in the greenhouse. The results demonstrate LED traps being less attractive to this parasitoid and other beneficials than ...

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6033-6040, December 2024.
Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,

Ex vivo delivery of dsRNA targeting ryanodine receptors for control of Tuta absoluta

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6400-6408, December 2024.
Long dsRNA molecules homologous to the Ryanodine receptor delivered via detached leaf bioassays reduce target gene expression and adult emergence in Tuta absoluta. Abstract BACKGROUND RNA interference (RNAi) is an endogenous eukaryote viral defence mechanism representing a unique form of post‐transcriptional gene silencing.

Dietary experience alters predatory behavior of two ladybird species on tomato potato psyllid

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 1579-1590, October 2024.
Past feeding experiences influence the predation behavior of two ladybirds on tomato potato psyllids. Abstract The tomato potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli, is an invasive pest in Australia, which can cause severe economic loss in the production of Solanaceous crops. As an invasive pest, B.

Effects of tomato treatments with commercial formulations of entomopathogenic fungi on the pest Tuta absoluta and the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus

open access: yesBiological Control
Tuta absoluta is a devasting pest causing severe yield losses in most tomato-growing areas. Macrolophus pygmaeus is a generalist predator released in tomato crop to control T. absoluta.

Identification, synthesis, and field evaluation of components of the female‐produced sex pheromone of Helopeltis cinchonae (Hemiptera: Miridae), an emerging pest of tea

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 4243-4252, September 2024.
Helopeltis cinchonae male elicited two gas chromatography–electroantennographic detection (GC–EAD) responses to female extract. These were identified as hexyl (R)‐3‐acetoxybutyrate and (R)‐1‐acetoxy‐5‐butyroxyhexane using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).

Arthropod predator identity and evenness jointly shape the delivery of pest control services

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, Page 569-576, February 2024.
Studies investigating how natural enemy evenness and identity affect pest control efficiency are rare and have produced inconsistent results. Using experimental natural enemy communities under strictly controlled conditions, we found that pest control efficiency was predominantly determined by the abundance of the most efficient species, but was ...
