Citizen science informs demand‐driven breeding of opportunity crops
Amid global challenges of food insecurity, poor nutrition, and climate change, neglected crops like amaranth are gaining renewed attention. We studied farmers' preferences for amaranth varieties across diverse geographical contexts to guide targeted breeding.

As regulations on chemical pesticides become more stringent, it is likely that there will be interest in water steam as an alternative approach for soil disinfestation. This study investigated the feasibility of utilizing a soil steaming device for thermal control of selected invasive alien plants and showed a promising mortality rate for their ...

Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

All Spodoptera frugiperda were rice strain with two haplotypes, likely from a common mixed source. ABCC2 and Ace‐1 mutations, conferring resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis and organophosphates/carbamates, respectively, were detected. Abstract BACKGROUND The invasive fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, FAW), a highly destructive pest affecting more ...
