Flower diversity on organic farms increases invasive ants rather than non‐invasive natural enemies

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 159-170, May 2024.
Abstract Increasing plant diversity in agroecosystems is well‐known to strengthen natural pest suppression, yet reliably predicting which non‐crop management practices best support natural enemies remains a challenge. Farmers often supplement diversity with managed flower patches or by allowing weedy non‐crop plant growth, both of which may support ...

Pest categorisation of Diaphania indica

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Diaphania indica (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the cucumber moth for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which D. indica was identified as a pest of possible concern to the European Union. D. indica

Incidence and genetic diversity of cucurbit viruses in the Spanish Mediterranean area

Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 431-443, February 2024.
WMV, CABYV and CMV were the main viruses infecting cucurbits fields in the Spanish Mediterranean area. Phylogenetic analysis revealed frequent recombination/reassortment events in WMV and CMV isolates. Abstract Viral infections on cucurbit fields can cause major economic losses.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Guatemala

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both, regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Guatemala.
