Biocontrol potential of naturally occurring entomopathogens against Maladera formosae in corn-soybean rotated systems. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
We isolated three insect‐killing nematodes from Maladera formosae infested corn–soybean rotated fields, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Pristionchus sp., and Steinernema carpocapsae. Results from greenhouse and field microcosm studies indicate all three nematodes can infect and kill M. formosae grubs and persist through winter.

N-Nitrosodimethylamine as an Emerging Environmental Contaminant: Sources, Analytical Advances, and Ecotoxicological and Human Health Risks. [PDF]

Int J Anal Chem
Over the last few years, N‐nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has become a significant environmental contaminant with both anthropogenic and natural sources. The alarming profile of it can be explained by the fact that it is a genotoxic substance and easily spreads through the atmospheric and water systems. The production of NDMA takes place through a variety

Evaluating larvicide performance against Culicoides sonorensis in semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the efficacy of larvicide products against Culicoides sonorensis populations under controlled semi‐field conditions. Larvicide efficacy against C. sonorensis declined over time, in different environmental conditions. In particular, precipitation and habitat disturbance influenced residual performance. Abstract BACKGROUND Culicoides

Differential Leaf Cuticular Wax Responses to Cold Acclimation in Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua L.) and Creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.)

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Winterkill is a major challenge on golf course putting greens in climates that support cool‐season turfgrass species, including annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). The cuticle is a critical protective outer layer of above‐ground plant organs, but its role in the winter resistance of cool‐season grasses ...

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3531-3551, October 2026.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Relation Between Ploidy and Forage Yield in Red Clover (Trifolium pratense L.)

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent experiences suggest only minor differences in dry matter yield between red clover diploid and tetraploid cultivars whilst tetraploids have a lower seed production potential, prompting breeders to reconsider their breeding efforts in this ploidy group. This large‐scale study comparing the productivity of diploid and tetraploid red clover

Wear stress of creeping bentgrass as affected by pigmented phosphonate fungicides

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Wear stress can negatively impact the quality of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting greens. Phosphonate fungicides formulated with proprietary pigments often include label language indicating plant health benefits, such as alleviating abiotic and biotic stresses.
