Biological control of leatherjackets using insect pathogens OF0116T [PDF]
, 1998 Leatherjackets (Tipula spp.; larvae of crane flies) are significant pests affecting the organic farming sector. Effective non-chemical methods of protecting organic crops from leatherjackets have not yet been developed, although insect pathogens are a ...

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Biological control of the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera, Tephriti-dae) by use of entomopathogenic nematodes: first experiences towards practi-cal implementation. [PDF]
, 2006 The use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is a promising approach to control the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi L.. We already demonstrated the high potential of EPN to infect larvae after leaving the cherry for pupation in the soil in laboratory ...

State-space based mass event-history model I: many decision-making agents with one target
, 2009 A dynamic decision-making system that includes a mass of indistinguishable agents could manifest impressive heterogeneity. This kind of nonhomogeneity is postulated to result from macroscopic behavioral tactics employed by almost all involved agents.

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

How maize root volatiles affect the efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes in controlling the western corn rootworm? [PDF]
, 2018 Because the ferocious maize pest Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte can adapt to all currently used control strategies, focus has turned to the development of novel, more sustainable control methods, such as biological control using entomopathogenic ...

Virulence comparisons of high-temperature-adapted Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema feltiae and S. carpocapsae [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2015 Summary Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are environmentally safe alternative control agents. Nematodes in the Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae families are widely used in biological control frameworks, especially for soil-inhabiting insect pests.

Reception of preparation of the entomopathogenic nematodes and the estimation of their efficiency
RUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2010 Results about invasion activity of 3 kinds entomopathogenic nematodes from family Steinernema (S. feltiae, S. carpocapsae, S. glaseri ) concerning 2 pest insects of a cotton (cotton scoops Spodoptera littoralis and a cotton bug - Pectinophora gossypiella)
