Resistance to the herbicides haloxyfop and iodosulfuron is common in commercial ryegrass (Lolium) seed lines

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Eleven variety lines had resistance detected for iodosulfuron only, six to haloxyfop, and 28 to both herbicides. No seedlings were detected with resistance to glyphosate. Abstract Background Ryegrass (Lolium spp.) is a key forage providing a $14 billion contribution to New Zealand's gross domestic product (GDP). However, ryegrass can also act as a weed

Effect of sugar beet variety resistance on the disease epidemiology of Cercospora beticola

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by Cercospora beticola, is the most destructive foliar disease in sugar beet. In our two‐year field trial, we monitored the spore flight of C. beticola in field trials comprising varieties with different resistant properties with a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)‐based method.

How urban proximity shapes agricultural pest dynamics: a review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how proximity to human settlements affects agricultural pest and pathogen dynamics, highlighting the roles of microclimatic conditions, biological aspects, and management effects. It underscores the need for integrated pest management strategies to address these complex interactions and enhance sustainable agriculture.

Testing an integrated approach for managing roof rats in citrus orchards

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A roof rat management program that combined diphacinone bait application with snap trapping was more efficacious than baiting alone or a management program that included bait, snap traps, and Goodnature A24 traps. Efficacy and cost comparisons suggest that combining baiting and snap trapping will provide long‐term relief from roof rats.

Target gene selection for sprayable dsRNA‐based biopesticide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

Investigation of the mechanisms involved in the biocontrol activities of natural products from a marine soil bacterium against rice blast

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study identified a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain R64 from mangrove soil with broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity and demonstrated the biocontrol effects of primary bioactive compounds from R64 in rice blast suppression. Abstract BACKGROUND Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, is a devastating fungal disease threatening global rice ...

Challenges and opportunities for embedding social science in pesticide resistance research and outreach

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Pest resistance management constitutes a ‘wicked problem’ that requires meaningful transdisciplinary collaboration involving social sciences. This article outlines their theoretical and methodological diversity, demonstrated through herbicide and insecticide resistance scholarship.

EPSPS target site mechanisms confer glyphosate resistance in Arctotheca calendula

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This investigation revealed that the EPSPS gene mutation resulting in Pro‐106‐Ser substitution and EPSPS overexpression endow resistance to glyphosate in the capeweed population. Abstract BACKGROUND The first case of glyphosate resistance was reported in a capeweed population from Western Australia in our previous study. This current study investigates

Preventative insecticides reduce seedling injury, but do not increase yield in Bt and non‐Bt corn grown in the mid‐Atlantic

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits, neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs), and in‐furrow pyrethroids (IFPs) can control insect pests of corn, but their target spectrum may be redundant and/or mismatch Mid‐Atlantic pest pressure. Across 9 site‐years insecticide treatments reduced pest damage and sometimes increased plant stand, but never improved yield ...
