Symbiotic bacteria participate in pectinolytic metabolism to enhance larval growth in Zeugodacus cucurbitae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The larval food consumption, growth, and pectinase activity without symbiotic bacteria are suppressed in Zeugodacus cucurbitae. We isolated four strains of Klebsiella spp. that can participate in pectinolytic metabolism from feeding wounds. Reintroducing them to sterile eggs breaks the developmental constraints caused by the lack of symbiotic bacteria.

Perspectives on microbial community changes produced by Hermitia illucens frass and their impact on soil suppression against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Soils amended with chitin or black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass reduced Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae propagules compared to non‐amended soil. Changes observed in microbial communities could be involved. Abstract BACKGROUND Organic soil amendments rich in chitin have demonstrated significant potential promoting suppressive soils.

Monoterpenoids from Artemisia austriaca essential oil disrupt hormone‐mediated reserve mobilization to suppress Avena fatua seed germination

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Terpenoid compounds from the essential oil of Artemisia austriaca, particularly camphor and 1,8‐cineole, infiltrate seed tissues and impede the germination of Avena fatua (wild oat) seeds by disrupting gibberellic acid and abscisic acid levels, as well as inhibiting critical enzymes involved in starch, lipid and protein metabolism.

Discriminating footprints to improve identification of congeneric invasive Rattus species

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We used linear discriminant analyses and extreme gradient boosting to distinguish tracking tunnel footprints between two congeneric invasive rat species. Predictive accuracies of the models were ≥ 94%, suggesting the reliability of using tracking tunnels and machine learning algorithms to identify Pacific and ship rats.

Dynamics of expenditure on insecticides in the management and control of corn leafhoppers (Dalbulus maidis)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The results reveal an increase in insecticide expenditures for controlling corn leafhoppers, highlighting the need for integrated pest management and sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate economic and environmental impacts. Abstract BACKGROUND The corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis) has caused significant losses to corn crops, mainly due to the ...

Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Number of infested fruits, larval entries and F1 adults decreased as sterile males increased. Control cages had higher fecundity and fertility compared to treatment cages. Release ratios, 40:1 and 60:1 can enhance the efficacy of SIT. Abstract BACKGROUND Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a significant pest of citrus in ...
