Host‐associated chemical cues mediating host‐finding behaviour in the larval ectoparasitoid Cephalonomia tarsalis

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8459-8467, September 2026.
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 ...

Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8820-8830, September 2026.
This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Can Increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Aerobically Grown Rice Under Water‐Limited Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice is a vital staple crop for more than half of the global population, but water limitations threaten its production under flooded conditions. A transition to aerobic production of rice would ease water limitations but may increase nutrient management issues. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi could help by boosting nutrient and water uptake,

Association mapping for canopy temperature under irrigated and rainfed conditions at 12 environments identified both known and novel genetic loci

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is the most widely cultivated oilseed crop and faces significant yield challenges due to drought stress. Canopy temperature has been proposed as an effective proxy for evaluation of differences in genotypic responses to water limitation, as well as indirectly assessing transpiration and stomatal conductance ...
