Laboratory, simulated‐use, and field evaluation of non‐insecticidal consumer products for indoor pest management: a freeze‐spray aerosol, light traps, and an ‘insect repellent’ lamp

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Control efficacy of three types of non‐insecticidal consumer products were examined in laboratory, simulated‐use, and field conditions. Freeze spray and ‘repellent lamp’ showed limited efficacy, whereas various results in attraction in light trap were reported.

Evaluation of fine fescue taxa for sod production: Tensile strength, harvest timing, and comparisons to conventional cool‐season species

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Sod is an important specialty crop used to establish turfgrass and to control soil erosion in new construction and roadsides. Most sod farms in the northern U.S. grow Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), but recent research indicates potential for growing various low‐input grasses, such as fine fescue taxa (Festuca L. spp.).

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 576-593, October 2026.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Corn tolerance and weed control with amicarbazone and metribuzin applied preemergence

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Since the late 1950s, atrazine has been a cornerstone of corn (Zea mays L.) weed control, but decades of use have raised concerns about groundwater contamination and enhanced biodegradation. Therefore, amicarbazone and metribuzin were evaluated as alternatives to preemergence use of atrazine in corn.

Spatial optimization to support economically driven decision making for early‐season stand challenges in corn

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Producers have an interest in mitigating yield and profit penalties associated with stand loss. When damage occurs early in the growing season, producers may opt to replant corn (Zea mays L.) to recoup potential yield losses. Likewise, producers could opt against replanting and accept the loss.

Can soil detoxifiers mitigate crop injury from residual herbicides?

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) growers have limited herbicide options for in‐crop application, so they rely on weed control in rotational crops to minimize weed problems. Sugarbeet is sensitive to many herbicides used in corn (Zea mays L.), a common rotational crop, which effectively reduces weed control options elsewhere in the rotation ...

Sorghum tolerance and weed control with amicarbazone and metribuzin applied preemergence

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Groundwater contamination has prompted the Environmental Protection Agency to consider restricting atrazine use, highlighting the need for alternative preemergence herbicides in grain sorghum (Sorghum Moench). Research was conducted in 2023 and 2024 to evaluate grain sorghum tolerance and weed control from preemergence applications of ...

Predicting cotton growth, pod development, and lint yield responses to irrigation and cultivar differences in Southwest Texas

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract In semiarid regions, water scarcity limits root‐zone water availability, restricting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth and yield. Although prior studies evaluated drought responses and cultivar variations, interactions between irrigation and cultivar‐specific dynamics—validated through process‐based models—remain underexplored in southwest
