Exploring the effectiveness of methyl salicylate and attractive traps in dispersing and recapturing glasshouse whiteflies: advances in push–pull strategy

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Methyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Analysis of multiple‐herbicide resistant Amaranthus palmeri populations from Spain points to an introduction of the eccDNA from America

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
In this study, multiple herbicide resistant mechanisms have been confirmed in two Amaranthus palmeri populations from Spain that survived glyphosate‐ and ALS‐inhibitor herbicides. Our data suggest that the eccDNA and the mutations identified in the ALS gene are the result of an evolutionary event that occurred outside Spain.
