Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) harvesting in Ghana is predominantly manual, and labor shortages frequently delay harvest beyond physiological maturity, exacerbating shattering losses. Mechanization could mitigate these losses, but effective combine harvesting requires cultivars with elevated first pod height (FPH) to minimize header losses ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8459-8467, September 2026.Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8477-8487, September 2026.Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
