Abstract:
... Bean-associated cytorhabdovirus (BaCV) is the first described whitefly-transmitted rhabdovirus. BaCV was experimentally transmitted by Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 to common bean, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and soybean (Glycine max), but natural infection has been documented only in common bean. Therefore, we investigated the occurrence of BaCV in 123 soybean plants collected in five Brazilian states by ...

Abstract:
... Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape) is known as one of the most important volunteer crops worldwide. Brassica napus volunteers can emerge for more than 10 years in subsequent crops. Three field experiments were carried out to compare the competitive ability and reproduction of conventional and Clearfield volunteer B. napus in spring barley under different herbicide treatments in field conditions. Her ...
... The field performance of a newly developed novel smart variable-rate sprayer was evaluated. The sprayer uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for target detection and spot-applications of agrochemicals within potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) fields attacked by lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album L.) and corn spurry (Spergula arvensis L.) weeds and the early blight potato disease caused by Alternar ...

Abstract:
... Thrips (Thysanoptera) are the most prevalent early season pests of cotton and are often detrimental to the establishing crop. Heavy reliance on prophylactic insecticides, primarily used as seed treatments, has led to insecticide resistance in populations of Frankliniella fusca Hinds. Sustainable, alternative management tactics are needed to protect seedling cotton from thrips. We evaluated day-neu ...

Abstract:
... Synthetic fibers released from sewage sludge and tire particles released from traffic are among the most common types of microplastics in soil. In soil, microplastics may interact with chemicals, such as plant protection products used in agriculture. Most studies on the interactions of microplastics and chemicals focused on aquatic environments and only few addressed soil arthropods. To increase t ...
... The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is a devastating pest that infests several cruciferous vegetable crops worldwide and has developed insecticide resistance in most chemical classes. Fluxametamide is a novel neuroactive isoxazoline compound that binds to a unique site on the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor and has an exceptional insecticidal activity on a ...

Abstract:
... There is a need to control populations of the termite Nasutitermes corniger and the mite Tetranychus bastosi since they act as urban and agricultural pests. Plant lectins (carbohydrate-binding proteins) have been suggested as a strategy for pest control. Thus, this study investigated the termiticidal and acaricidal activities of a mixture containing three Cratylia mollis seed lectins (Cramoll 1,2, ...
... Direct seeding of rice (Oryza sativa L.) has since long been viewed as a potential alternative to unsustainable water-intensive transplanted rice (TPR) world-over, but heavy infestation of a variety of weed species limits the large-scale adoption of direct-seeded rice (DSR) cultivation. Hence, a 2-year field investigation was carried-out in a spilt-plot design, at Banaras Hindu University, Varanas ...
... Jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Miller var. inermis Rehder) is highly susceptible to jujube gall midge (Dasineura jujubifolia Jiao & Bu) larvae infestation, which causes rolled leaf damage, leaf galls, discoloration, and a decline in fruit yield. In this study, we demonstrate the larvicidal potential of cuticle-degrading chitinase and protease produced by Bacillus velezensis CE 100 against jujube gall mid ...
... Whitefly and the viruses they transmit pose a serious threat to crops globally. Recently, Jain et al. showed that BioClay-mediated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) spray provides an eco-friendly approach to controlling whitefly. This ‘transgene-free next-generation’ insect-specific crop protection strategy may help to reduce the use of chemical pesticides for controlling whitefly. ...

Abstract:
... Plant essential oils (EOs) are gaining interest as biopesticides for crop protection. EOs have been recognized as important ingredients of plant protection products including insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal, and nematicidal agents. Considering the growing importance of EOs as active ingredients, the domestication and cultivation of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) to produce chemically st ...
... Proteinase inhibitors (PIs) from legumes have the potential for use as protectants in response to pests and pathogens. Legumes have evolved PIs that inhibit digestive proteinases upon herbivory resulting in delayed development, deformities, and reduced fertility of herbivorous insects. Legume PIs (serine proteinase inhibitors and cysteine proteinase inhibitors) have been overexpressed in plants to ...
... Trunk injection is a targeted delivery of pesticides, insecticides, nutrients, or other plant protection materials into the stem or trunk of woody plants as an alternative to spraying or soil drenching. Trunk injection has historically been used for disease and pest management of high-value forest tree species or ornamental plants when aerial applications are problematic due to spatial problems an ...

Abstract:
... Natural products (NPs) have long been an important source of, and inspiration for, developing novel compounds to control weeds, pathogens and insect pests. In this review, we use a dataset of 800 historic, current and emerging crop protection compounds to explore the influence of NPs on the introduction of new crop protection compounds (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides) as a function of time. ...

Abstract:
... On February 23, 2022, the great Czech plant pathologist, and my personal friend and esteemed colleague, prof. Václav Kůdela passed away. For over 15 years (1990–2006), he served as the Editor-in-Chief for our journal, Plant Protection Science. His whole adult life was connected with agriculture, plant pathology, plant protection and the science of phytotherapy. However, he was also man who accepte ...

Abstract:
... Virtually all examined plant species harbour fungal endophytes which asymptomatically infect or colonize living plant tissues, including leaves, branches, stems and roots. Endophyte-host interactions are complex and span the mutualist–pathogen continuum. Notably, mutualist endophytes can confer increased fitness to their host plants compared with uncolonized plants, which has attracted interest in ...

Abstract:
... Spinosad is one of the world's most widely applied natural bioinsecticides and its use has been growing rapidly in the past decade. Biologically based plant protection products can also have unexpected effects on beneficial arthropods. Previous studies examining the lethal and sublethal effects of spinosad on different groups of spiders have shown widely diverging results. This work aims at an ext ...

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 ...
