Evaluation of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a and Bt toxins against Bt‐resistant and ‐susceptible strains of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The addition of 10 μg cm−2 of Cry1Ac to the surface of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a (ω/κ‐Hv1a) incorporated diet can significantly increase the mortality of Cry‐resistant Helicoverpa zea compared to diets without the Cry1Ac toxin. Abstract BACKGROUND Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda are destructive insect pests of cotton and corn.

RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Modeling, virtual screening, and enzymatic docking of trehalose 6‐phosphate phosphatase and evaluation of the insecticidal effect of phthalimide, N‐(p‐tolylsulfonyl) on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of the experimental procedures used to perform the bioinformatic steps and insecticidal assays using trehalose 6‐phosphate phosphatase of Aedes aegypti and the molecule phthalimide, N‐(p‐tolylsulfonyl). Abstract BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti Linnaeus is a medically important vector because of its role in transmitting several arboviruses ...
