Challenges and constraints in implementing integrated pest management for pepper stem borer (Lophobaris piperis Marshall) among Indonesian smallholder farmers: a critical review

Journal of Integrated Pest Management
Abstract This review examines the challenges that prevent the adoption of integrated pest management in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) cultivation in Indonesia, emphasizing the impact of Lophobaris piperis Marshall (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a critical stem borer pest in Southeast Asian black pepper-producing countries. The recommended

A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8104-8119, September 2026.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agricultural sustainability ...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

A Risk‐Based Framework for Ranking Microbiological Hazards and Identifying Mitigation Strategies for Dried Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, and Spices Used in Ready‐to‐Eat Foods

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Low water activity ingredients, including dried fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, are widely used in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) and non‐RTE foods. Although low water activity limits microbial growth, bacterial pathogens can survive for extended periods in these products.

Design of a Bacteriophage‐Based Product for Biocontrol of Fire Blight and Black Rot

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
Phytopathogenic bacteria threaten crops, and while chemical pesticides are effective, they harm ecosystems. Bacteriophages like ɸEF1, ɸEF2 and ɸXF1 show promise as biocontrol agents. They remain stable at 4°C and 20°C under neutral conditions, with stability enhanced by additives like CaCO3, improving field effectiveness for ecological and sustainable ...

Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

A Fungal Glycoside Hydrolase From Colletotrichum asianum Mini‐Chromosomes Targets Host Chitinase to Suppress Plant Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
CaMutA interacts with MiChi1 and promotes the degradation of the latter by the 26S proteasome, resulting in the inability to activate reactive oxygen species (ROS), PR genes, and MAPK signalling, thereby weakening resistance to C. asianum. ABSTRACT Colletotrichum asianum, the cause of mango anthracnose, is a major threat to mango production worldwide ...

Spinning the Past Forward: Recording, Archiving, and (Re‐)listening to Siberian Phonograph Cylinders From the Jesup North Pacific Expedition

Museum Anthropology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT The article examines the history of phonographic recordings from the Jesup North Pacific Expedition (1897–1902), a venture that shaped the methods of Siberian and Arctic anthropology for decades. The authors—a historical anthropologist, a curator, and an Indigenous Sakha scholar—trace how audio recordings made during the expedition have moved ...
