Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops
ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and
