Perceptions, challenges and determinants of management strategy choices for combating fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) infestation in Ghana

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite high awareness of fall armyworm, a significant gap remains in the use of sustainable and effective control measures. Farmers predominantly perceive synthetic pesticides as ideal despite studies highlighting botanical and traditional methods as more sustainable.

The relationship between primary parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of cereal aphids: an analysis of field data [PDF]

, 1993
1. We analysed data collected in 1985-89 from cereal fields to elucidate the relationships between the primary parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of cereal aphids. The analysis aimed to establish whether or not hyperparasitoids interfere with the impact of

Association of a Global Invasive Pest Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) with Local Parasitoids: Prospects for a New Approach in Selecting Biological Control Agents

Insects
Spodopotera frugiperda is a worldwide invasive pest that has caused significant economic damage. According to the classical biological control approach, natural enemies that can control invasive pests come from the same area of origin as the pests that ...

Optimal control and multitrophic physiologically‐based models: The binomial for successful decision support systems in insect pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Decision‐making in integrated pest management (IPM) corresponds to an optimisation problem where the plant–pest dynamics and the control actions are constraints and where the objective function accounts for the costs of the treatments and the total income at the harvest time.

Location of Host and Host Habitat by Fruit Fly Parasitoids

Insects, 2012
Augmentative releases of parasitoids may be a useful tool for the area-wide management of tephritid pests. The latter are parasitized by many wasp species, though only a few of them are relevant for augmentative biocontrol purposes.

Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.
