Tipula Larval Populations Affected by Soil Edaphic and Microbiological Properties: Insights From Ireland and Scotland

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous soil‐dwelling pests cause damage in agriculture through decreases in root and shoot biomass, which can affect both plant and economic yield. Having a greater understanding of the soil environment of these pests could identify potential avenues for mitigation/control strategies. Leatherjackets (Tipula larvae) are pests of grasslands

The critical period of cover crop management: A framework for maximizing biomass potential and minimizing volunteers with buckwheat

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a short‐duration high‐biomass cover crop often grown in potato (Solanum tuberosum) rotations to provide select agroecosystem services. However, buckwheat's short generation time challenges its continued viability as a cover crop as seed is rapidly produced, resulting in volunteer issues in subsequent ...

Experience and trust to handle uncertainty of biodiversity responses to innovative agricultural practices: Lessons from citizen science on farms

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 611-630, March 2025.
Abstract As for any innovation, integrating farmland biodiversity into agricultural practices is a complex process, leading to decisions made under uncertainty, due to the difficulty of foreseeing the consequences of decisions. This uncertainty comes under many different forms, depending among others on the type of environmental innovation in ...

Species Composition and Emergence Patterns of Agriotes litigiosus, A. brevis and A. sordidus (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in Central Italy

Insects
Click beetles (Agriotes spp.) are major agricultural pests whose larvae, known as wireworms, cause serious damage to a wide range of crops. Effective management requires a clear understanding of species composition and adult emergence patterns.

Seed treatment of lima beans: Combination fungicide-insecticide seed treatments protect plants against soil-borne pests and permit increased yields

California Agriculture, 1956
Seed treatment of lima beans with fungicides—effective protection against seed decay caused by soil-borne fungi— does not protect against the attacks of wireworms, seed maggots, and spring-tails. Wireworms bore into the parts of the germinating seeds and
