Abstract:
... Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan is an endemic tree to South America and different parts of it are used by the population for the treatment of various diseases, as well as in indigenous rituals. This species has high pharmacological potential but may present toxic potential due to the presence of psychotropic compounds. To review published studies with the species A. colubrina regarding ethn ...

Abstract:
... Studies on bio-efficacy of eight bio-rational insecticides against fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda revealed that spinetoram 11.7% SC @ 0.3 ml/lit was found to be the most effective insecticide, which recorded the highest reduction in larval population i.e. 79.48% after first spray, 85.78% and 46.74% after second and third sprays, respectively followed by Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 3.0 ml ...

Abstract:
... Variability in population densities is key to the ecology of natural systems but also has great implications for agriculture. Farmers' decisions are heavily influenced by their risk aversion to pest outbreaks that result in major yield losses. However, the need for long‐term pest population data across many farms has prevented researchers from exploring the drivers and implications of pest populat ...

Abstract:
... Cross‐indication testing is the assaying of final compounds, but also their intermediates or side products, from one agrochemical indication against target species of other product lines. This approach has proven to be a highly successful source of lead compounds, which led to several important crop protection products. This review article describes, which herbicides came from fungicides and insec ...

Abstract:
... In present study, larval populations of L. orbonalis, collected from different regions of Punjab i.e. Amritsar, Kapurthala, Malerkotla, Ludhiana were exposed to different concentrations of emamectin benzoate at 15, 20, 25 and 30°C for evaluation of LC₅₀ values. The LC₅₀ decreased from lower (15°C) to higher (30°C) temperature for all populations of L. orbonalis. The positive correlation was observ ...

Abstract:
... Two neonicotinoid derivatives namely 1-[(2-Chloro-5-thiazolyl)-methyl]− 4,5-dihydro-N-nitro-1H-imidazol-2-amine (IMT) and (2E)− 1-[(6-Chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-N-nitroimidazolidin-2-imine (IMP), are developed as copper corrosion inhibitors in a NaCl solution for the first time. The inhibition performances of two inhibitors are investigated by electrochemical measurements combined with various ...

Abstract:
... Climate change may interfere with the behavior of pesticides and organisms, influencing pesticides toxicity to non-target organisms like collembolans. Aiming to assess the representativeness of the standardized species F. candida to the Collembola group under different temperatures, four species of collembolans - Folsomia candida, Folsomia fimetaria, Proisotoma minuta and Sinella curviseta – were ...

Abstract:
... Up to 2017, the Lac Saint-Jean region (Quebec, Canada) produced lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) without insecticide treatments. In 2018, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency detected adults of the blueberry maggot (Rhagoletis mendax Tephritidae) in the Regional County Municipality (RCM) of Maria-Chapdelaine. Monitoring programs of adults and larvae conducted in 2019, 2020, and 2 ...

Abstract:
... Some insects can be used as food, while others can affect the destruction of crops and the reduction of food reserves. The studies described in this article showed quantitative and qualitative changes in the composition of volatile compounds contained in adult Tenebrio molitor and Leptinotarsa decemlineata insects after applying insecticides. The samples were prepared by SPME and the final determi ...

Abstract:
... Mormon crickets are a major rangeland pest in the western United States and are currently managed by targeted applications of non-specific chemical insecticides, which can potentially have negative effects on the environment. In this study, we took the first steps toward developing RNAi methods for Mormon crickets as a potential alternative to traditional broad-spectrum insecticides. To design an ...

Abstract:
... Plant–herbivore interactions account for much of the biodiversity observed in an ecosystem. Plants may alter defense expression dependent on the specific herbivore present. Many studies focus on the optimization of these defenses against a single herbivore, but in an ecological context, there may be a myriad of herbivores at any given time. We designed a study to examine defenses employed by swamp ...

Abstract:
... Afidopyropen is a novel pyropene insecticide that has been shown to be effective for the management of Aphis gossypii Glover. Establishing the susceptibility baseline of A. gossypii to this newly commercialized insecticide is important for ensuring its continued efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility baseline of field populations of A. gossypii to the novel insecticide ...

Abstract:
... One of the most economically important pests of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the midsouth region of the United States is the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois, Hemiptera: Miridae). Tarnished plant bug populations across the region have exhibited widespread resistance to numerous insecticide classes. To minimize late season resistance development, reducing unwarranted ...

Abstract:
... Solvents, components of pesticide emulsifiable concentrates (ECs), emit quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. In the air, their active involvement in oxidative chemical reactions with oxidants exposed to ultraviolet solar radiation can result in the formation of ozone. The quantitative assessment of VOC emissions from agricultural pesticide applications remains hampe ...

Abstract:
... Seed dressing with fungicide or insecticide is a standard procedure for growing major crops, but very little is known about the leaching risk and the general fate of pesticides from coated seeds. Triazole fungicides are commonly used seed dressing fungicides and recently, there has been increasing concern that 1,2,4-triazole, a major degradation product of several triazole fungicides, may leach to ...

Abstract:
... In order to discover a novel insecticide, a series of meta-diamide compounds containing n-butyl group were designed and synthesized. Preliminary bioassay data showed that some of the target compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera frugiperda and Alfalfa sprouts. In particular, compounds 6d and 6n displayed 100% insecticidal activity against Plutella ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Providing protection from malaria vector bites, both indoors and outdoors, is crucial to curbing malaria parasite transmission. Screening of house entry points, especially with incorporated insecticides, confers significant protection but remains a costly and labour-intensive application. Use of spatial repellents has shown promise in creating areas of protection in peri-domestic areas ...

Abstract:
... Winter annual cover crops can be planted before soybean in Mississippi for many agronomic reasons. Incorporating winter annual cover crops into soybean production changes the seasonal hosts within fields. Some studies suggest that reducing tillage and using diverse species of cover crops can increase arthropod diversity and predator activity. Neonicotinoid seed treatments are often implemented to ...

... Synthetic and natural insecticides with high biological effectiveness and reduced impact on non-target insects were evaluated for the control of the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), in a Persian lime orchard. Spirotetramat (75 g AI/ha), fenpyroximate (25.5 g AI/ha), and chlorantraniliprole (20 g AI/ha) showed mortality of 83.9, 85.1, and 86.6% on ACP nym ...

Abstract:
... To increase soybean actual yields (Yₐ), modern farmers are interested in exploring novel intensification options. We hypothesize that the inclusion of a high-input treatment in high-productivity systems may potentially reduce yield gaps (Yg), representing additional profits for farmers. Our objectives were to: (i) estimate Yₐ, water-limited yield potential (Ywₗᵢₘ), and Yg; (ii) evaluate a high-inp ...
