Research on Weakly Supervised Deep Learning Model for Semantic Segmentation of Pest and Disease Regions in Durian Blind Spots

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Durian is a high‐value economic crop, which presents challenges in the orchards, such as complex terrain, significant canopy shading, and blind spots in manual inspections. These blind spots often become the key sources of pest and disease spread, which requires the drone‐based intelligent monitoring solution capable of operating stably in complex ...

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1663-1674, August 2026.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Efficacy of cinnamon oil and its active ingredient (cinnamaldehyde) on the cotton mealy bug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley and the predator Chrysoperla carnea

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2020
Background The importance of Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a predator is due to nourishing this predator on some dangerous pests as the cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, belongs to Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae.

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.
To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Plant Traits and Reproduction in a Multitrophic System: The Role of Aphids, Parasitoids and Hyperparasitoids

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 822-830, August 2026.
This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Economic Impact of Chemical Pesticide Ban on Mealybug Management in Commercial Banana Farms in Cameroon Highlights the Need for Policy Initiatives on Sustainable Alternatives

International Journal of Agronomy
Banana (Musa spp.) production is source of food, income and foreign exchange, but banana mealybug (Pseudococcus elisae) infestation is a major production constraint that was only highlighted in 2007 following rejection of banana from Cameroon Development

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
