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

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.
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.

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Transmission of cocoa viruses by mealybugs (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae)

Agricultural and Food Science, 1976
Several mealybug species reacted positively towards light and high humidity. Planococcoides njalensis (Laing) had a thermopreferendum at 20-25°C. and 25-33° C. was optimum for reproduction with a partial fecundity of 92 nymphs per female. T ½ biol.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Botanical compounds to combat vineyards mealybugs: An ideal alternative for organic vitiviniculture [PDF]

, 2018
The vine mealybug (Planococcus ficus) is a major pest in vineyards and is widespread in most grape-growing areas, however, to date; few organic products have been tested to combat them.

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.

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.
