Optimized use of UV‐B light to suppress Western flower thrips in controlled environment tomato crops
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Visual representation of study into the use of UV‐B light to simultaneously attract and suppress Western flower thrips in controlled environment crops. Abstract BACKGROUND LEDs (light emitting diodes) are being deployed in controlled environment crop production systems to boost crop growth, manipulate pest behavior, improve performance of natural ...

A change in the bacterial community of spider mites decreases fecundity on multiple host plants
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Bacterial symbionts may influence the fitness of their herbivore hosts, but such effects have been poorly studied across most invertebrate groups. The spider mite, Tetranychus truncatus, is a polyphagous agricultural pest harboring various bacterial ...

BMC Genomics, 2016 BackgroundThe two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is an extreme generalist plant pest. Even though mites can feed on many plant species, local mite populations form host races that do not perform equally well on all potential hosts.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

A guide to the spider mites of cotton
Hilgardia, 1953 Spider mites are increasingly serious pests of cotton and forage crops. Because the acaricides now being developed are often highly selective among species, entomologists concerned with the control of these pests need to know the particular species they are dealing with. This report has been prepared to aid them.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

The Plant Journal, 2016 Spider mites (Tetranychidae sp.) are widely occurring arthropod pests on cultivated plants. Feeding by the two-spotted spider mite T. urticae, a generalist herbivore, induces a defense response in plants that mainly depends on the phytohormones jasmonic ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Agricultural landscape simplification due to the loss of semi‐natural habitats can act as an environmental filter for species and their functional traits. Both local‐ and landscape‐level factors can shape community structure; although through different mechanisms.

Antipredator behaviours of a spider mite in response to cues of dangerous and harmless predators
Experimental & applied acarology, 2016 Prey are known to invest in costly antipredator behaviour when perceiving cues of dangerous, but not of relatively harmless predators. Whereas most studies investigate one type of antipredator behaviour, we studied several types (changes in oviposition ...
