Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Number of infested fruits, larval entries and F1 adults decreased as sterile males increased. Control cages had higher fecundity and fertility compared to treatment cages. Release ratios, 40:1 and 60:1 can enhance the efficacy of SIT. Abstract BACKGROUND Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a significant pest of citrus in ...

Defining the parameters of comet assay for reliably detecting DNA damage as a marker of X‐ray based irradiation in insects treated with non‐lethal doses for export fruit sanitation

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Houseflies, clover root weevils, and mangoes were used to demonstrate the comet assay's adaptability. Our findings indicate that the comet assay can reliably detect irradiation‐induced DNA damage in both insects and fruit. However, the assay parameters require careful adjustment to account for differences in insect tissue types and life stages ...

Silver‐selenium nanoparticles and selected chemical compounds significantly inhibit grapevine trunk disease pathogens

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A 2‐year in planta study confirmed antifungal activity of selected chemicals against GTD pathogens. Silver‐selenium nanoparticles inhibited D. eres and E. lata, but not D. seriata. Despite limited spectrum, they show promise as alternatives for targeted GTD control, with no phytotoxic effects observed.

Characterisation of aphid antixenosis in aphid‐resistant ancestor wheat, Triticum monococcum

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A blend of 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from Sitobion avenae‐infested Triticum monococcum accessions MDR045 and MDR049 was identified and shown to induce antixenosis towards alate S. avenae. Abstract BACKGROUND Due to the increasing presence of insecticide resistance across cereal aphid populations, new aphid management strategies ...
