Whole ecosystem-based approaches are becoming increasingly common in pest management within agricultural systems. These strategies consider all trophic levels and abiotic processes within an ecosystem, including interactions between different factors. This review outlines a whole ecosystem approach to the integrated pest management of pear psyllid (Cacopsylla pyri Linnaeus) within pear (Pyrus communis

Substrate-borne vibrations produced during the interaction with natural enemies alter aphids probing behavior J. Pest Sci.

The “ecology of fear”, i.e., physiological and behavioral alterations displayed by pests in response to predation risk, has recently been proposed as a sustainable alternative to chemicals for pest control. However, the development of such a strategy requires a detailed understanding of the signals and cues underlying the pest-antagonist interaction and eliciting the prey behavioral alteration. Here

Timing matters: remotely sensed vegetation greenness can predict insect vector migration and therefore outbreaks of curly top disease J. Pest Sci. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-19
Abstract Due to climate change, outbreaks of insect-vectored plant viruses have become increasingly unpredictable. In-depth insights into region-level spatio-temporal dynamics of insect vector migration can be used to forecast plant virus outbreaks in agricultural landscapes; yet, it is often poorly understood. To explore this, we examined the incidence of beet curly top virus (BCTV) in 2,196 tomato

Abstract Omnivores obtain resources from more than one trophic level, choosing food based on quantity and quality. They usually engage in intraguild predation (IGP) when prey is scarce. Orius laevigatus is an example of omnivore that becomes superior predator of the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii when released in a combined system under low levels of the preferred prey, the thrips Frankliniella

Blue LED trap and commercial lure improve western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) monitoring in cucumber crops J. Pest Sci. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-20
Abstract Blue sticky traps contribute substantially to monitoring the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), in greenhouses. Although sticky traps can detect the initial presence of thrips reliably, an estimation of the actual thrips density in the crop by counting number of thrips on the traps is often not accurate. To overcome this issue, we compared

Host plants benefit from non-predatory effects of zoophytophagous predators against herbivores J. Pest Sci. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-16
Abstract Zoophytophagous predators can induce plant defence responses through phytophagous feeding. Since the zoophytophagous bug Orius sauteri lays eggs into plant tissues, we hypothesised that its oviposition behaviour may also induce plant defence responses with a negative impact on subsequent herbivore attacks. Pre-inoculation of O. sauteri females on tomato plants significantly reduced the fitness

Abstract Polyphagy is an adaptative strategy allowing species to develop and survive on multiple diets.
