Abstract:
... In many human societies, domestic insect pests often evoke feelings of disgust, fear and aversion. These common feelings may translate to increased use of household pesticides. No study has ever explored this possibility and consequently, efforts to mitigate public exposure to domestic pesticides typically focus on addressing knowledge gaps. We tested the hypothesis that negative emotions toward i ...

Abstract:
... The invasion of Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) worldwide has disrupted existing or developing integrated pest management (IPM) programs in soft-skinned fruits. Currently, with a reliance on only broad-spectrum insecticides, there is a critical call for alternative control measures. Behavioural control is one of the pillars of IPM, and, in the present study, it is investiga ...

Abstract:
... There is a worldwide concern to achieve food security with a sustainable approach, including the generation and implementation of techniques for the production of high-quality chemical-free crops. This food revolution has promoted the development and consolidation of programmes for integrated pest management. Some of those programmes include the use of diverse organisms (biological control agents) ...

Abstract:
... Vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus F. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an economically important insect pest of horticultural crops. To identify an effective and reliable monitoring system for adult vine weevil, this study investigated the influence of colour, height and entrance position on the efficacy of a model monitoring tool using modified paper cups as refuges. Vine weevil preferences were d ...

Abstract:
... Entomopathogenic fungi like Beauveria bassiana play a crucial role in natural control of arthropod pests which are being used in Integrated Pest Management programs. Assessing the compatibility of biological and chemical counterparts used in IPM programs is essential to achieve successful results in pest management. Behavior of four isolates of B. bassiana (ITCC 913, ARSEF 2860, ARSEF 1166, and AR ...

Abstract:
... Sterile insect technique (SIT) is increasingly sought after as a sustainable insect control technique. Originally, SIT pursued the eradication of a target population and was used in governmental/public area‐wide integrated pest management (IPM) programs. However, it nowadays is used more often as a population suppression method. Therefore, this technique also receives growing interest from commerc ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Pests cause significant damage to agricultural crops and reduce crop yields. Use of manual methods of pest forecasting for integrated pest management is labor‐intensive and time‐consuming. Here, we present an automatic system for monitoring pests in large fields, with the aim of replacing manual forecasting. The system comprises an automatic detection and counting system and a human–co ...

Abstract:
... Parasitoid wasps play a vital role in regulating insect population dynamics in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. Yellow sticky card traps are a key component in integrated pest management and the primary sampling method for estimating parasitoid abundance and diversity. Retention of 3 parasitoid wasp species on 2 yellow sticky card traps was compared and it was found that up to 34% of para ...

Abstract:
... Airborne pests pose a major challenge in agriculture. Integrated pest management programs have been considered a viable response to this challenge, and pest forecasting can aid in strategic management decisions. Annually recurrent areawide sugarcane aphid [Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)] infestations of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poales: Poaceae)] in the Great Pla ...

Abstract:
... Spodoptera frugiperda among the China population employs a four-component sex pheromone blend to accelerate male-female allocation and mating behavior. The underlying molecular mechanism has been incompletely elucidated. In the current study, we showed that differences existed between genders toward the four sex pheromone components, including Z9–14:AC, Z7–12:AC, Z9–12:AC, and Z11–16:AC, in terms ...

Abstract:
... Initiatives to reduce the reliance of agriculture on pesticides, including the European Union (EU) Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides (SUD), have yet to lead to widespread implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. Developments in weed management have strongly focused on increasing the efficiency of herbicides or substituting herbicides with other single ...

Abstract:
... Given the recognised role of blanket extension advice in the low uptake of productivity‐enhancing technologies among developing country farmers, personalised or site‐specific extension approaches are gaining attention. Focusing on the case of the plant clinic extension model which provides personalised crop protection services to smallholder farmers, we investigate to what extent and how accuratel ...

Abstract:
... Integrated pest management (IPM) has been practiced by the fruit industry for at least 30 years. Naturally occurring beneficial insects have been encouraged to thrive alongside introduced predatory insects. However, Conservation Biological Control (CBC) and augmented biocontrol through the release of large numbers of natural enemies is normally only widely adopted when a pest has become resistant ...

Food consumption and utilization parameters of Plutella xylostella (L.) were studied on the leaves of eight cabbage cultivars under laboratory conditions (27 ± 2 °C, 70 ± 5 % RH, 16 L: 8D photoperiod). The present study evaluated the effect of different biochemical factors of cabbage cultivars on the food consumption and utilization parameters of P. xylostella. All the food consumption and utiliza ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Since the last decade, Dalbulus maidis has become the primary pest in cornfields, particularly due to its ability to transmit plant pathogens. Dalbulus maidis is the main vector of the corn stunt spiroplasma and maize bushy stunt phytoplasma. However, there is little information available on this pest. Understanding its spatial dynamics may allow us to determine how its infestations be ...

Abstract:
... Sitophilus zeamais is a major pest of stored grains in Ghana and its control can be achieved through an Integrated Pest Management approach, which includes the judicious use of effective and selective insecticides. However, persistent use of synthetic protectants can cause insecticide resistance, militating against control. It is therefore important to monitor the effectiveness of these products t ...

Abstract:
... In agriculture, aphids always cause major damage in wheat, corn and rape, which significantly affect the crop yield. Manual aphid counting approaches are often labour-consuming and time-costing for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In addition, the results of existing aphid counting methods based on computer vision are not satisfactory due to the complex background and the dense distribution. In o ...

Abstract:
... Climate change is a danger to the agricultural system and will impact the availability of food to feed the world. While much attention has focused on the effects of climate change on pest management prior to harvest, much less attention and time has been devoted to determining the effects of climate change on pest management in the postharvest supply chain from farm to fork. Climate change may per ...
