Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Evaluation of Hermetic Maize Storage for Smallholder Farmers [PDF]

, 2014
Maize is an important crop for many smallholder farmers in the world. Maize weevils (Sitophilus zeamais) cause a significant loss in quality and quantity during maize storage in tropical regions.

Responses of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Protein Bait Applied at Different Densities

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of odour‐based lures for insects is related to their active space, the air volume around an odour source in which an insect will detect and move towards it. This principle applies to protein baits laced with toxicants that are used as either sprays or stations to suppress pest fruit fly populations.

Low Rates of Kaolin in Different Application Periods Reduce Diaphorina citri Population and Huanglongbing Incidence in Commercial Citrus Orchards

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, and it has been disseminated by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, the vector of the causing agent Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Although processed kaolin reduces psyllid infestation, long‐term field data from commercial orchards are limited.

Influence of two acyclic homoterpenes (Tetranorterpenes) on the foraging behavior of anthonomus grandis Boh [PDF]

, 2016
Previous studies have shown that the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is attracted to constitutive and conspecific herbivore-induced cotton volatiles, preferring the blend emitted by cotton at the reproductive over the vegetative stage.

Rhizobia–Bean Symbiosis Increases Root Herbivore Attraction and Growth via Volatile Signals and Enhanced Nutrition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Competition of three species of Sitophilus on rice and maize. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Laboratory tests were carried out in order to examine competition among three congeneric species on rice and maize: the granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius, the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais. For this purpose, a

Comparative Bioactivity of Bamboo Leaf Ash and Bularafa Diatomaceous Earth against Maize Weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2022
Maize is one of the major staple foods in Sub-Saharan Africa and there is serious loss in maize storage due to insect damage. This study compared the bioactivity of Bamboo Leaf Ash (BLA) and Bularafa Diatomaceous Earth (BDE) against Maize Weevil ...

A study of population growth of Sitophilus oryzae L. and Sitophilus granarius L. in single and mixed culture in wheat and rice : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 1983
Biological interactions between organisms which contend for the same resource, have been of interest to ecologists since the days of Darwin. Although this sort of association is evident for many animal-versus-animal and plant-versus-plant situations, one

Technological Advances in Mung Bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) Milling, Processing, and Utilization

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is emerging as a valuable ingredient in modern food systems due to its nutritional benefits, functional versatility, and alignment with plant‐based, clean‐label, and sustainable food trends. This review highlights recent technological advancements in mung bean processing, covering primary processing steps
