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.

Landscape diversity facilitates population growth and abundance of polyphagous Lygus pratensis in cotton fields of northern Xinjiang

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Increased landscape diversity showed significantly positive effects on the population growth rate and abundance of polyphagous Lygus pratensis in cotton fields, which may be attributed to the enhanced continuity and heterogeneity of host plant resources in more diverse agricultural landscapes.

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 ...

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

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 ...

Attraction of bark beetles (Coleoptera : Scolytidae) to a pheromone trap - Experiment and mathematical models

, 1984
The movement of bark beetles near an attractive pheromone source is described in terms of mathematical models of the diffusion type. To test the models, two release experiments involving 47,000 marked spruce bark beetles [Ips typographus (L.)] were ...

Remote Monitoring of European Grapevine Moth, Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Population Using Camera-Based Pheromone Traps in Vineyards

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2019
This study presents a new sex pheromone trap for European Grapevine Moth, Lobesia botrana, to monitor its field population without direct field observations in Turkey. The study was conducted in Hadim and Taşkent (Konya) districts in 2016.

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 ...
