Biocontrol Potential of a New Beauveria varroae Strain Isolated from an Urban Ecosystem Against Two Species of Noctuidae Pests

open access: yesCrops
Entomopathogenic fungi are among the most promising non-chemical alternatives for the control of many serious phytophagous insect pests, such as moth species.

QTL Mapping for Yield and Resistance against Mediterranean Corn Borer in Maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Introduction: The Mediterranean corn borer (MCB), Sesamia nonagrioides, is a major pest of maize, Zea mays, in Mediterranean countries, inflicting significant kernel yield losses. For that reason, it necessary to know the genetic mechanisms that regulate

Seasonal variation in species composition and frequency of insecticide resistance alleles (kdr and ace-1r) in the Anopheles gambiae complex from an irrigated rice fields area in Western Burkina Faso [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Monitoring of the spread of insecticide resistance in field vector populations is a prerequisite for the implementation of efficient and sustainable vector control strategies based on the use of insecticides. Screening for resistance alleles in Anopheles

The Present and Future Role of Insect-Resistant Genetically Modified Maize in IPM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Commercial, genetically-modified (GM) maize was first planted in the United States (USA, 1996) and Canada (1997) but now is grown in 13 countries on a total of over 35 million hectares (\u3e24% of area worldwide). The first GM maize plants produced a Cry

Differences in the searching behaviour of two strains of the egg parasitoid Telenomus busseolae (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2001
Telenomus busseolae Gahan (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) is an egg parasitoid, which is under evaluation for possible introduction into Italy as a biological control agent of the Corn Stalk Borer, Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Two

Transgenic crops in Spain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The rate of introduction of transgenic crops in Spanish agriculture has been limited by a number of adverse factors, some of which are linked to specific local circumstances, while others are common to most European Union (EU) member countries.

Non-target risk assessment of Cotesia typhae, a potential biological control agent of the Mediterranean corn borer

open access: yesBiological Control
Biocontrol of exotic insect pests can be achieved by introducing natural enemies from the native range. This method has been successful in controlling many pests worldwide, but negative effects on local non-targets have sometimes occurred.

Fine analysis of a genomic region involved in resistance to Mediterranean corn borer

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvere (Mediterranean corn borer, MCB) is the main pest of maize in the Mediterranean area. QTL for MCB stalk tunneling and grain yield under high MCB infestation had been located at bin 8.03–8.05 (4–21 cM and 10–30 cM ...
