Genetic Variability and Heritability of Horticultural Traits, Impact on Susceptibility to Two Sap-Sucking Pests and Efficacy of Beauveria Bassiana and Lemongrass Oil as Biocontrol Agents in Six Inbred Lines of Summer Squash [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology
Six inbred line of summer squash were cultivated in open field to deterred horticulture traits. Under unheated plastic house, the sensitivity of six inbred lines to the red spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch and the white fly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)

Impact of cultural practices on two‐spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) infestation in tomato cultivation in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a major pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), causing substantial yield and quality losses in Ethiopia and worldwide. The present study evaluated the impact of tomato branch pruning and trellising on TSSM populations and yield in the Central Rift Valley tomato production area ...

Notations on concentration and writing

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Notations on Concentration and Writing looks at how writing begins in the body and mind of concentration, and how concentration—rather than being found—may be invited in. In an age of YouTube, Instagram, and so many other media, the path to concentration can be difficult. In this piece, I illuminate how concentration can be made, step by step,

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Cannibalism in Buchananiella whitei (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and its intraguild interactions with seven predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae & Laelapidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 10030-10038, October 2026.
Extraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...

Inducible tomato defences persist in detached leaves, despite differential plant variety and gene‐dependent expression

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 866-874, October 2026.
Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.

Environmental Pesticide Exposure in the Etiology of Pediatric Brain Tumors and Leukemia: A Scoping Review of Epidemiological Studies

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1360-1384, 15 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Alley cropping opportunities and research priorities in orchard systems: A case study in northern California

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping is the production of annual and perennial cash crops between orchard trees. Despite its documented benefits, adoption of alley cropping in California remains limited. This paper describes a long‐term commercial alley cropping system in northern California and identifies research areas that can support this practice.
