Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Molecular surveillance of resistance mutations in invasive populations of Spodoptera frugiperda in Europe, for evidence‐based pest control

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
All Spodoptera frugiperda were rice strain with two haplotypes, likely from a common mixed source. ABCC2 and Ace‐1 mutations, conferring resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis and organophosphates/carbamates, respectively, were detected. Abstract BACKGROUND The invasive fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, FAW), a highly destructive pest affecting more ...

Life history and fitness costs in the lambda‐cyhalothrin resistant clone of English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (Fabricius)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the life‐history traits and fitness costs of English grain aphid clones that are resistant to lambda‐cyhalothrin (SA3) and susceptible to it (SA27). Overall, the results showed that there are differences in the stages of development, survival, reproduction and population growth.

A Framework to Enable Eco‐Cyber‐Physical Systems for Robotics‐Focused Digital Twins in Smart Farming

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces the R‐ECPS (Robotics‐focused Eco‐Cyber‐Physical System) framework for the development of robotics‐enabled digital twins, integrating human knowledge into the decision‐making process. Our framework adapts ECPS and Digital Twin (DT) definitions to agricultural field robotics.
