Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 11, Page 1401-1407, November 2026.Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.This study examines how stand structure and surrounding landscape context influence the trap‐based abundance of Monochamus alternatus, the principal vector of pine wilt disease, in the Qinling Mountains of China. Using pheromone‐trap monitoring, multi‐scale landscape metrics, and multimodel inference, we show that local host composition and fine‐scale ...

Measuring the Consistency of Phytosanitary Measures [PDF]
The paper presents a model for quantifying quarantine-related phytosanitary measures by combining the two basic components of pest risk assessment, probability of establishment and economic effects, into a single management framework, Iso-Risk. The model

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.Weed seed contamination in vegetable seed lots poses risks to commercial seed quality and biosecurity, yet few studies have examined contamination in vegetable crops, and none have compared pre‐ and post‐cleaning levels using quantitative seed counts. We analysed 1,322 field‐dressed (FD) and machine‐dressed (MD) purity test results from four vegetable ...
