Improved Monitoring of Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Stone Fruit Orchards with a Pheromone-Kairomone Combination Lure

Insects, 2020
Monitoring oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), populations based on counts in sex pheromone-baited traps within sex pheromone-treated orchards for mating disruption (MD) is challenging since male orientation to traps ...

Influence of Pheromone-Baited Traps on Stink Bugs in Cotton

Journal of Insect Science, 2019
Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are economic pests in fruit, vegetable, grain, and row crops worldwide. Pyramid traps baited with lures of stink bug aggregation pheromones capture these pests in the field, but stink bugs can congregate on plants near traps.

Incorporating Suitability Evaluation Into an Adaptive Ant Colony Algorithm for Territorial Spatial Optimization

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Territorial spatial optimization is a key strategy to promote long‐term regional sustainable development. Although ant colony optimization (ACO) is widely used in territorial spatial optimization, it is prone to local optima and offers limited integration of spatial suitability and regional heterogeneity. To address these problems, an adaptive

Host‐associated chemical cues mediating host‐finding behaviour in the larval ectoparasitoid Cephalonomia tarsalis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

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.

A Technique to assess the Longevity of the Pheromone (Ferrolure) used in Trapping the Date Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorous ferrugineus Oliv.

Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 1999
The use of the aggregation pheromone, Ferrugineol (4-Methyl-5-Nonanol) has become an important component of the integrated Pest Management strategy currently adopted to trap the red palm weevil Rhynchophorous ferrugineus oliv., a pest which infects date ...

A Synthetic Pheromone Lure Useful for Trapping Stray Honeybees

Journal of Apicultural Research, 1984
SummaryLures containing synthetic components of the honeybee Nasonov pheromone attract worker honeybees to traps, especially when they also contain the queen pheromone component (E)-9-oxo-2-decenoic acid.

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Economic Benefits from the Use of Mass Trapping in the Management of Diamondback Moth, Plutella xylostella, in Central America

Insects, 2023
The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), is a worldwide pest of brassica crops, resistant to a large number of insecticides. As an alternative, the use of pheromone-baited traps has been proposed but farmers are yet to be convinced. In the present
