The significance of woody vegetation's nonproductive elements for the overwintering of key biocontrol agents in intensively used agricultural areas

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Nonproduction woody vegetation provides crucial overwintering habitats for spiders, enhancing biocontrol services in agricultural landscapes. Incorporating these habitats into land management supports ecosystem services and biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Successful overwintering habitats are critical for the long‐term survival of biocontrol agents ...

Assessing alternative strategies to control almond red leaf blotch through the reduction of Polystigma amygdalinum inoculum in leaf litter

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Cultural practices offer effective RLB disease management strategies. Urea application or removal of almond leaf litter reduces the primary inoculum of Polystigma amygdalinum. Abstract Background Red leaf blotch (RLB), caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is a major foliar disease of almond trees in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.

Functional synergy and genomic linkage of glyphosate resistance traits in Canada fleabane

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Stacking target‐site and non‐target‐site glyphosate resistance mechanisms in Conyza canadensis results in strong synergistic effects. This study quantifies gene × gene interactions and maps linked resistance loci, advancing our understanding of herbicide resistance genetics and informing management strategies.

Provision of pest alerts is associated with better farm performance in Africa

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Provision of pest alerts on invasive crop pest control in Africa was linked with a higher likelihood of adopting integrated pest management practices, as well as an improvement in crop yield and income. The results suggest that pest alerts are crucial in sustainable pest management strategies against invasive pests. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop pests cause

Crystal structure of fatty acid thioesterase A bound by 129 fragments provides diverse development opportunities

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Crystallographic fragment screening of A. thaliana FatA yielded 141 hits and along with orthogonal assays, this enables the target for rapid development of novel chemical matter to the currently available herbicides. Abstract BACKGROUND In order to alleviate the growing issue of herbicide resistance, diversification of the herbicide portfolio is ...

Validating a rapid algorithmic weed hazard ranking method

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Climatic suitability, weed‐related publication frequency and global occurrence data form (CPG) hazard scores for selected species in New Zealand plotted against weed hazard classifications from three independent assessments. Abstract Background Conventional weed risk assessments (WRAs) are time‐consuming and often constrained by species‐specific ...

Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...
