Effectiveness of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) in Reducing Wireworm Damage in Potatoes [PDF]
InsectsWireworms are a major threat to potatoes. Agronomic prevention is always the first IPM strategy to be implemented. This work assesses whether a bioactive cover crop, sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), a tropical leguminous plant, reduces wireworm damage ...

Olfactory preference in chemical host plant recognition by male and female click beetles and its implications for pest management. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciClick beetle (Elateridae) olfactory preferences for plant volatiles, including those released by damaged plants, remain poorly understood. Olfactometer and electroantennography experiments revealed sex‐ and plant species‐specific olfactory preferences of Agriotes sputator beetles, with maturity influencing female responses.

Preventative insecticides reduce seedling injury, but do not increase yield in Bt and non-Bt corn grown in the mid-Atlantic. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits, neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs), and in‐furrow pyrethroids (IFPs) can control insect pests of corn, but their target spectrum may be redundant and/or mismatch Mid‐Atlantic pest pressure. Across 9 site‐years insecticide treatments reduced pest damage and sometimes increased plant stand, but never improved yield ...
