Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of a true bug in semi-field and field conditions [PDF]
Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Mid‐season pest management implications for protecting soybean seed quality in North Carolina
Abstract Soybean producers in North Carolina have shifted from later to early‐maturing varieties (MG II‐IV) to increase yield. This shift has coincided with more frequent seed damage and purple seed stain, sometimes resulting in dockage at the elevator.

Environmental Noise and Nonlinear Relaxation in Biological Systems [PDF]
We analyse the effects of environmental noise in three different biological systems: (i) mating behaviour of individuals of \emph{Nezara viridula} (L.) (Heteroptera Pentatomidae); (ii) polymer translocation in crowded solution; (iii) an ecosystem ...

Floral nectar is a sugar‐rich resource which is essential for covering the energetic and nutritional requirements of adult parasitoids. Recent research has shown that floral nectar is ubiquitously colonized by microbes, however how nectar‐inhabiting microbes affect parasitoid performance is poorly investigated.

Uji Beberapa Konsentrasi Beauveria Bassiana Vuillemin Lokal dalam Mengendalikan Hama Kepik Hijau (Nezara Viridula L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) pada Tanaman Kedelai (Glycine Max L.) [PDF]
Nezara viridula is a pest that can reduce soybean production both in quality and quantity. Currently efforts in controlling N. viridula still use synthetic chemical insecticides that can have negative impacts. One solution to reduce reliance on synthetic

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...
