Comparison of nonchemical, organic and synthetic Varroa destructor control strategies in honey bee colonies: effects on parasite load, colony strength and health

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining intensive drone‐brood removal with brood interruption provided the most effective and consistent seasonal Varroa control. Abstract BACKGROUND Varroa destructor remains the most significant biotic threat to honey bee colonies, and increasing resistance to synthetic acaricides necessitates alternative control strategies.

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

A Dynamic Optimisation Model of Weed Control [PDF]

open access: yes
It is argued in this paper that static approaches to weed management, where the benefits and costs are only considered within a single season, are inappropriate for assessing the economic benefits of weed control technologies. There are carryover effects

Prevalence and drivers of ectoparasite abundance on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New York City residential complexes

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.

Social media as a new tool for studying the composition and spatial distribution of stored‐product arthropods in households

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Social media records highlight diverse household stored‐product arthropods and reveal distinct associations of major pest groups with different room types and specific substrates. Abstract BACKGROUND Stored‐product pests (SPPs) are well studied in food storage and processing facilities, but their occurrence in households remains poorly known.

Does a pea-cereal intercropping under shallow ploughing compensate for the higher weed growth compared to deep ploughing in organic farming?

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2012
The reduction of soil tillage depth is of special interest in organic farming. However, shallow ploughing often results in higher weed abundances in comparison to deep ploughing.

Remote Coastal Weed Infestation Management Using Bayesian Networks

open access: yesDiversity
The increasing prevalence of species that are detrimental to biodiversity is a major concern, particularly for managers of National Parks. To develop effective programs for controlling weeds, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the extent and severity of infestations, as well as the contributing factors such as temperature, rainfall ...

Economic evaluation of a weed-activated sprayer for herbicide application to patchy weed populations [PDF]

open access: yes
Spatial distribution of weeds in a crop is patchy. Traditional boom sprayers waste herbicide by applying it to areas where weed density is already low.
