Intestinal bacterium Bacillus siamensis M54 from Allomyrina dichotoma is a potential biocontrol agent against maize stalk rot

open access: yesBiological Control
Maize stalk rot, caused by Fusarium spp., is a significant disease that adversely impacts the yield and quality of corn. Biological control plays a crucial role in managing numerous crop diseases, including maize stalk rot.

New opportunities for the integration of microorganisms into biological pest control systems in greenhouse crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biological pest control with mass-produced arthropod natural enemies is well developed in greenhouse crops and has often resulted in the evolution of complex ecosystems with persistent populations of multiple arthropod natural enemy species.

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Female boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.

Peptidic product derived from trypsin autolysis modulates insect digestive proteases and supports plant biochemical defense

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
XXXX Abstract BACKGROUND Spodoptera frugiperda, commonly known as the fall armyworm, is a highly economically significant pest that affects various crops, resulting in substantial losses in productivity. Managing this pest primarily relies on chemical insecticides; however, the repeated development of resistance to these chemicals has rendered them ...

Micro-biological degradation and transformation of dissolved organic matter following continuous cropping of tobacco

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
In recent years, the problems associated with continuous cropping (CC) that cause soil degradation have become increasingly serious. As a key soil quality property, dissolved organic matter (DOM) affects the circulation of carbon and nutrients and the ...

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Organic farming systems benefit biodiversity and natural pest regulation in white cabbage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Natural regulation of cabbage root flies works well in experimental organic cropping systems of white cabbage. Low input and complex organic systems benefit functional biodiversity by providing good living conditions to several groups of natural enemies.
