Feeding by slugs on maize imposes variable productivity costs but can induce compensatory growth under some conditions

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Slugs can challenge crop plants grown in no‐till fields. Our results confirm that higher levels of slug feeding can be detrimental to maize plants, but low levels of herbivory by slugs can unexpectedly increase plant growth and occasionally yield. Abstract BACKGROUND In contrast to herbivorous insect pests, relatively little attention has been given to

Classical biological control of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) in apple orchard: a success story

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The classical biological control program with Trissolcus japonicus in Trentino effectively reduced Halyomorpha halys damage in apple orchards, increasing discovery efficiency and egg parasitization rates from 2020 to 2023. The results demonstrate reduced pesticide use and fruit damage, highlighting CBC as a sustainable pest management strategy against ...
