The development, regulation and use of biopesticides for integrated pest management [PDF]

, 2011
Over the past 50 years, crop protection has relied heavily on synthetic chemical pesticides, but their availability is now declining as a result of new legislation and the evolution of resistance in pest populations.

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]

, 2011
Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...

Fungal Warriors: Effects of Beauveria bassiana and Purpureocillium lilacinum on CCYV-Carrying Whiteflies

Biomolecules
Bemisia tabaci is a major agricultural pest that affects both greenhouse and field crops by feeding on plant sap, which impairs plant growth, and by secreting honeydew, promotes sooty mold growth that further reduces photosynthesis.

Transcriptome Analysis of the Brain and Gnathal Ganglion Reveals Feeding-Mediated Genes in Helicoverpa armigera Larvae

Biomolecules
Despite the central role of the gustatory nervous system in regulating feeding behavior in the larvae of the major agricultural pest Helicoverpa armigera, the systemic molecular basis of this process is largely unknown. To investigate the molecular basis,
