Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Persistent silverleaf whitefly exploits desert crop systems

, 1998
When clouds of whiteflies swarmed through California's desert agricultural areas in the fall of 1991, they were initially identified as a new strain of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. The previously known strain was called “A”

Better Control With More Food: Continuous Provision of Alternative Food Enhances Thrips Control by Predatory Mites

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

Flowering Plant Species Differ in Their Suitability for Orius strigicollis (Poppius): Effects on Plant Preference, Longevity and Oviposition Under Laboratory Conditions

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering plant species can support pest control by providing resources for natural enemies. Polyphagous predatory species of the genus Orius occur in many parts of the world and are widely used as biological control agents. They feed on several common pest species and can additionally utilize plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Abundance of Two Whitefly Species (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) on Georgia Soybean

, 1995
‘Braxton’ and ‘Cobb’ soybeans were surveyed every 7 to 10 days from mid-July through September, 1993 and 1994, to determine the seasonal abundance of the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii Bellows and Perring, and the bandedwinged whitefly ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Resistance to Bemisia tabaci Asia I in Capsicum Reduces Whitefly Performance and Is Associated With Lower Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (PepYLCV) Disease

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The widespread development of insecticide resistance and stricter regulations on pesticide use highlight the need for natural pest resistance in crops. In pepper, viral diseases such as pepper yellow leaf curl virus (PepYLCV), transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, are a major constraint in tropical regions.
