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]
, 2012 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 ...

Resource Availability Overrides Predator Presence in Mosquito Oviposition Habitat Selection
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 424-435, May 2026.Gravid Culex quinquefasciatus balance predation risk against resource availability when selecting oviposition sites. In outdoor mesocosms, we factorially manipulated sugarcane jaggery (resource) and notonectid predators (adult vs. nymph; caged vs. free‐swimming) across 2 years.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 436-452, May 2026.Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Early Symptom Characterisation and Mitigation of Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease
Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays) is a staple crop central to food security and livelihoods across sub‐Saharan Africa. In recent years, maize production in the region has been severely affected by maize lethal necrosis disease (MLND). First reported in Kenya in 2011, MLND has spread rapidly across eastern and central Africa, leading to significant yield ...
