Sugarcane giant borer transcriptome analysis and identification of genes related to digestion.
Sugarcane is a widely cultivated plant that serves primarily as a source of sugar and ethanol. Its annual yield can be significantly reduced by the action of several insect pests including the sugarcane giant borer (Telchin licus licus), a lepidopteran ...

Automatic Moth Detection from Trap Images for Pest Management [PDF]
Monitoring the number of insect pests is a crucial component in pheromone-based pest management systems. In this paper, we propose an automatic detection pipeline based on deep learning for identifying and counting pests in images taken inside field traps.

Mobile robots sampling algorithms for monitoring of insects populations in agricultural fields [PDF]
Plant diseases are major causes of production losses and may have a significant impact on the agricultural sector. Detecting pests as early as possible can help increase crop yields and production efficiency. Several robotic monitoring systems have been developed allowing to collect data and provide a greater understanding of environmental processes ...

A history of mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) in Puerto Rico [PDF]
Published claims in 1887-1903 that the mole cricket Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty) occurs in Puerto Rico all seem to be derived from a misidentification made by Agustín Stahl, a medical practitioner and collector of natural history objects, published in

Recognition of Pyralidae Insects Using Intelligent Monitoring Autonomous Robot Vehicle in Natural Farm Scene [PDF]
The Pyralidae pests, such as corn borer and rice leaf roller, are main pests in economic crops. The timely detection and identification of Pyralidae pests is a critical task for agriculturists and farmers. However, the traditional identification of pests by humans is labor intensive and inefficient.

Analyzing Insect-Plant Predation Data By Bayesian Nonparametrics [PDF]
In the prospect of ecology and biology, studying insect-plant predation will considerably contribute to pest control, benefit agriculture and afforestation, and also help people to better understand insect-plant co-evolution. Therefore, we are motivated to do two work in this study.

Significant improvement of IPM strategies against the sugarcane stem borer, Chilo Sacchariphagus, through long-term succesful storage of Trichogramma chilonis (Hymenoptera:Tric) : S1012TU07 Integrated Pest Management [PDF]
The stem borer Chilo sacchariphagus is a key pest of sugarcane in Reunion Island and South-East Asia. Since 2002, an IPM strategy associating inundative release of an egg parasitoid, Trichogramma chilonis, and conservation of a predatory ant has been ...

Improving Pest Monitoring Networks in order to reduce pesticide use in agriculture [PDF]
Disease and pest control largely rely on pesticides use and progress still remains to be made towards more sustainable practices. Pest Monitoring Networks (PMNs) can provide useful information for improving crop protection by restricting pesticide use to the situations that best require it.
