Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

The Molecular Phylogeny of the New Zealand Endemic Genus Hadramphus and the Revival of the Genus Karocolens

Diversity, 2018
The delineation of species is important to the fields of evolution, ecology and conservation. The use of only a single line of evidence, e.g., morphology or a single gene sequence, may underestimate or overestimate the level of diversity within a taxon ...

From Infestation to Recovery: Evaluating Changes in Livelihoods and Fishing Productivity Following the Biocontrol of Kariba Weed Along Kyoga Basin Lakes and Kibimba Dam

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasive kariba weed (Salvinia molesta) has severely degraded aquatic ecosystems in Uganda's Kyoga basin lakes and Kibimba Dam, disrupting fisheries, navigation and community livelihoods. Between 2017 and 2021, the National Agricultural Research Organisation implemented a biological control program using the host‐specific weevil ...

Fall Termination of Aestivation and Field Dispersal of the Alfalfa Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Illinois [PDF]

, 2017
Emergence traps, flight traps, sweeping, and egg sampling were employed to determine fall termination of aestivation of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, and patterns and timing of field reentry, and subsequent fall oviposition.

Physico‐Nutritional Profiling and Assessment of Proteins as Well as Soluble and Insoluble Phenolic Acids in Gamma Irradiated Wheat Grains Through SWATH‐MS and HPLC Analysis and Their Functionality

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Gamma irradiation (Dmin 650 Gy) proved effective in controlling insect pest infestations in stored wheat grains which otherwise undergo extensive losses during storage. SWATH‐MS based proteomics affirmed integrity of major storage proteins including prolamines and increased extractability of phenolics (soluble free & conjugated) was observed in ...

Boll weevils in dry bolls: is there a performance disadvantage?

Journal of Cotton Research
Background Anthonomus grandis grandis is the main cotton pest in the Americas, with the potential to become a pest in other continents. The insect uses the plant’s reproductive organs for feeding, oviposition, and survival strategies in the off-season ...
