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

Climatically suitable areas for Hylobius abietis and Hylobius pales: a global and regional analysis considering economic risks for pine production

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Climate suitability maps indicate a high economic risk for Pinus‐producing municipalities in Brazil if Hylobius abietis and Hylobius pales invade, highlighting the need for preventive measures. Abstract BACKGROUND The weevils Hylobius abietis and Hylobius pales are major pests of pine species within their native ranges.

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 ...

Evaluating antibiosis resistance to cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L., 1758) in vegetable brassicas (Brassica oleracea L.) and related C‐genome brassica species

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Nineteen Brassica accessions were screened for antibiosis resistance to Brevicoryne brassicae. Significant variation in resistance was identified. Detailed bioassays suggest that varietal effects upon aphid pre‐reproductive period conferred observed resistance.
