Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paysandisia archon is a South American castniid moth unintentionally introduced in Europe through the international plant trade and first reported there in the early 2000s. Its larvae cause severe damage to palms (Arecaceae) by feeding on the apical meristem and excavating inside the trunk, leading to structural instability and eventual plant ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae: Lepidoptera), is one of the major pests of cruciferous vegetables. To control this notorious pest, the caterpillar parasitoid Diadegma insulare (Cresson) (Ichneumonidae: Hymenoptera) is the most used biocontrol agent. Efficient mass‐rearing of D.

CellsParasitoid elimination in Drosophila melanogaster involves special hemocytes, called lamellocytes, which encapsulate the eggs or larvae of the parasitoid wasps. The capsules are melanized, and metabolites of the melanization reaction may play a potential

Rhizobacterial Modulation of Maize Defense Alters Herbivore Performance and Parasitoid Behavior
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The association between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms can profoundly influence aboveground trophic interactions, yet these effects are often context‐dependent. Although plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly used in maize production, little is known about how these microorganisms affect maize defenses against ...

Induced Volatile Chemistry and Arthropod Predation Across a Tree Diversity Gradient
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a key role in defence against herbivores and in mediating multitrophic interactions. Yet, how surrounding plant diversity modulates these responses in forest trees remains poorly understood. We examined the effects of tree species richness on induced VOC emissions and arthropod predation in Quercus ...

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.
