Abstract:
... ObjectivesTyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank; Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae), the most common arthropod pest of dry-cured ham, is controlled in the U.S. dry cured ham industry with methyl bromide (MB) fumigation. However, MB fumigation will be phased out of use since it is an ozone depleting substance. The objective of this research was to evaluate ham nets that were infused with food-grade ingredients ...

Abstract:
... Investigations were undertaken to clarify the biology of green lacewing Mallada boninensis on its hosts Helopeltis theivora and Oligonychus coffeae, which are two major arthropod pests of tea crop and on an artificial diet. No significant variations were recorded in terms of preoviposition period, oviposition period, oviposition rate, total eggs, hatching success, larval survival and adult emergen ...

Abstract:
... Sugarcane is an important industrial crop in Iran, and this crop is vulnerable to attack by several arthropod pest species. Sugarcane whitefly Neomaskellia andropogonis (Corbett) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) is a relatively new emerging pest which affect sugarcane fields in late summer. Field trials were carried out during early September until late November 2015 at Salman Farsi Agro-Industry, Ahwaz, ...

Abstract:
... Insect parasitoids are often manipulated to improve biological control programs for various arthropod pests. Volatile compounds can be a relevant cue used by most parasitoid hymenoptera for host or host microhabitat location. Here, we studied olfactory responses of the braconid Asobara japonica Belokobylskij, an Asiatic endoparasitoid of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), toward its ...

Abstract:
... The conservation of natural enemies is an important tactic to promote biological control of arthropod pests. The earwig Doru luteipes (Sccuder) is the most important predator of the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) in corn fields. One way of conserving these predators in the field is by using only selective insecticides when the pest population reaches the economic threshold. Some ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Models describing the effects of climate change on arthropod pest ecology are needed to help mitigate and adapt to forthcoming changes. Challenges arise because climate data are at resolutions that do not readily synchronize with arthropod biology. Here we explain how multiple sources of climate and weather data can be synthesized to quantify the effects of climate change on pest pheno ...
