Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1102-1114, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...

Annual flower strips under the ‘Sweden Blossom’ initiative – how do they perform for pollinators, natural enemies and herbivores?

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 458-470, August 2026.
Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7050-7061, July 2026.
Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Characterization of the resistance mechanism against BYDV-PAV in maize

Frontiers in Agronomy
Arthropods threaten crop production by feeding on plants and, most importantly, by transmitting viruses. BYDV-PAV is the most prevalent virus species that causes barley yellow dwarf disease, one of the most economically important viral diseases affecting

Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 770-779, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.

Essential Oil Formulations From Salvia officinalis, Ormenis africana, and Mentha pulegium: Chemical Profiles and Insecticidal Activity Against Myzus persicae

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
The insecticidal potential of formulations based on Salvia officinalis, Ormenis africana, and Mentha pulegium essential oils was investigated against Myzus persicae. The combination of the three oils provided the most effective control, showing strong activity in laboratory assays and greenhouse trials.
