BIORATIONAL INSECTICIDE ADOPTION AND CONVENTIONAL INSECTICIDE USE: A SIMULTANEOUS, LIMITED DEPENDENT VARIABLE MODEL [PDF]

Using data reporting section-level pesticide use for all of Arizona, this study estimates how early-season adoption of new biorational insecticides reduced subsequent broad-spectrum insecticide applications in cotton.

What has changed in the outbreaking populations of the severe crop pest whitefly species in cassava in two decades?

Scientific Reports, 2019
High populations of African cassava whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) have been associated with epidemics of two viral diseases in Eastern Africa. We investigated population dynamics and genetic patterns by comparing whiteflies collected on cassava in 1997 ...

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2217-2236, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes Induce Metabolic Reallocation in Maize Roots Without Altering the Performance of Two Root Herbivores, Diabrotica virgifera and Diabrotica balteata

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8561-8572, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

Emerging Viral Threats in Rice: A Decade of Discovery and Implications for Crop Protection

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8702-8711, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Rice viral diseases pose severe threats to global food security, with over 20 viruses identified in China alone. The advent of high‐throughput sequencing has accelerated the discovery of novel viruses in cultivated and wild rice, unveiling previously undetected threats.

A TIR‐NLR gene from Arabidopsis Pla‐1 confers resistance to geminivirus infection

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 5, December 2025.
SUMMARY Geminiviruses are single‐stranded DNA viruses that infect many plant species and cause serious losses in agronomically important crops. An earlier study showed that the Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Pla‐1 is resistant to infection by diverse geminivirus species and mapped the major resistance locus Geminivirus Resistance of Pla‐1 1 (GRP1) to ...

Viruses mobilize plant immunity to deter nonvector insect herbivores. [PDF]

, 2019
A parasite-infected host may promote performance of associated insect vectors; but possible parasite effects on nonvector insects have been largely unexplored. Here, we show that Begomovirus, the largest genus of plant viruses and transmitted exclusively
