Evaluating the potential of RNA interference for control of striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3591-3602, April 2026.
SCB has a robust RNAi response to injected dsRNA, but oral RNAi is less efficient. Nucleases do not appear to be responsible for the discrepancy, suggesting other factors are involved. Abstract BACKGROUND The striped cucumber beetle (SCB) is a serious pest of cucurbit crops, causing damage both by feeding on plants and by vectoring plant diseases ...

Challenges facing the management of pesticide resistance in weeds, diseases and insect pests in European agriculture and the future of effective IPM implementation

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2838-2843, April 2026.
Opinion on pesticide resistance and management in the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) is presented cognisant of changes in regulation that impact on mode of action availability and cropping system choice. Abstract In recent times, pesticide resistance has been managed reasonably effectively, either proactively or reactively, by monitoring ...

Effects of ultraviolet-C and microwave irradiation on the expression of heat shock protein genes in the maize weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky), is a major pest of stored grain kernels. Irradiation is an established technique for controlling insects in stored grain and is a major stress factor affecting these insects.

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Sources of Resistance to the Maize Weevil Sitophilus Zeamais in Tropical Maize

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012
سوسة الذرة، Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) (غمدية الأجنحة: Curculionidae)، هي من بين آفات التخزين الرئيسية التي تعزز انعدام الأمن الغذائي بين مزارعي الذرة. تعتبر المصادر الجديدة لمقاومة سوسة الذرة حاسمة في برنامج التكاثر الناجح لمعالجة تلف الحبوب بسبب آفات ما بعد الحصاد. كان الهدف من الدراسة هو تقييم المقاومة في الأنماط الجينية للذرة تجاه سوسة الذرة،
