Improving control of duponchelia fovealis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by rooting media related strategies [PDF]

, 2009
Soil-dwelling predatory mites can be very effective as biological control agents against larvae of the lepidopteral pest Duponchelia fovealis. Some growing media were reported to have natural high level and stable populations of predatory mite.

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,

International Deployment of Microbial Pest Control Agents: Falling Between the Cracks of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Biosafety Protocol? [PDF]

, 2013
This paper considers one tangled web of conflicting developments. It involves the popular desire to replace chemical pesticides with more “natural” biological control strategies, plus a slowly emerging awareness of a less benign side to microbial pest ...
