Recent advances toward the sustainable management of invasive Xylosandrus ambrosia beetles

Abstract We provide an overview of both traditional and innovative control tools for management three Xylosandrus ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), invasive species with a history damage in forests, nurseries, orchards urban areas. compactus , X. crassiusculus germanus are native to Asia, currently established several countries around the globe. Adult females bore galleries into plant xylem inoculating mutualistic fungi that serve as food source developing progeny. Tunneling activity results chewed wood extrusion from entry holes, sap outflow, foliage wilting followed by canopy dieback, branch trunk necrosis. Maintaining health reducing physiological stress is first recommendation long-term control. Baited traps, ethanol-treated bolts, trap logs trees selected can be used monitor species. Conventional pest methods mostly ineffective against because pests’ broad host range rapid spread. Due challenges conventional control, more approaches being tested, such optimization push–pull strategy based on specific attractant repellent combinations, or use insecticide-treated netting. Biological release entomopathogenic mycoparasitic fungi, well antagonistic bacteria, has yielded promising results. However, these technologies still require validation real field conditions. Overall, we suggest efforts should primarily focus potentially combined multi-faceted approach controlling damage.

Fitness costs of resistance to insecticides in insects

Frontiers in Physiology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: Oct. 19, 2023

The chemical application is considered one of the most crucial methods for controlling insect pests, especially in intensive farming practices. Owing to application, pests are exposed toxic insecticides along with other stress factors environment. Insects require energy and resources survival adaptation cope these conditions. Also, insects use behavioral, physiological, genetic mechanisms combat stressors, like new environments, which may include chemicals insecticides. Sometimes, continuous selection pressure metabolically costly, leads resistance development through constitutive upregulation detoxification genes and/or target-site mutations. These actions costly can potentially affect biological traits, including reproduction parameters key variables that ultimately overall fitness insects. This review synthesizes published in-depth information on costs induced by insecticide past decade. It thereby highlights resistant populations might help design integrated pest management (IPM) programs spread populations.

Does the dose make the poison? Neurotoxic insecticides impair predator orientation and reproduction even at low concentrations

Pest Management Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 78(4), P. 1698 - 1706

Published: Jan. 7, 2022

Pesticides can be noxious to non-target beneficial arthropods and their negative effects have been recently recognized even at low doses. The predator Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) plays an important role in controlling insect pests solanaceous crops, but its concurrent herbivory often poses relevant concerns for tomato production. Although insecticide side on N. previously studied, little is known the potential implications of neurotoxic chemicals concentrations. We assessed baseline toxicity three insecticides (lambda-cyhalothrin, spinosad chlorpyrifos) by topical contact exposure. behavioral reproduction capacity was then investigated upon exposure estimated low-lethal concentrations (LC

Benefits associated with the implementation of biological control programmes in Latin America

Abstract Agriculture in Latin America plays a significant role the region’s economy, food security, and rural development. Although pest control has traditionally relied on chemicals, there is increasing adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Thus, recent years, been growing emphasis agriculture practices, including biological control, to minimise environmental impact, conserve natural resources, ensure long-term productivity. In America, high biodiversity enhances both classical augmentative control. The use agents allows farmers produce their crops whilst reducing chemicals agriculture. addition, opens new market opportunities for job options youth areas. Maximal benefits will however be attained only after practices when an effective interaction among key stakeholders achieved. consumers can reap which incentivise accelerate at field level. To evaluate socio-economic establishing multidisciplinary teams conduct studies crucial. current article explores resulting from implementation programmes, highlighting social benefits. as part Plantwise programme, created assist production with perspective, data biopesticides some countries are discussed context looking forward reinforcing security safety America.

Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on the “Offensive” in Africa: Prospects for Integrated Management Initiatives

Insects, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 11(11), P. 764 - 764

Published: Nov. 6, 2020

The South American tomato pinworm Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) has aggressively invaded the African continent. Since its first detection in North Africa Morocco and Tunisia 2008, it successfully entire southern, eastern western Africa, where been on offensive, causing significant damage to Solanaceous food crops. While control of this prolific invader is primarily based conventional synthetic pesticides, form consistently losing societal approval owing (1) pesticide resistance development consequential loss field efficacy; (2) growing public health concerns; (3) environmental contamination biological diversity associated ecological services; (4) unsustainable costs, particularly for resource-poor farmers. As such, more ecologically sound pest management strategies, e.g., use natural substances (NSs), may offer a sustainable approach tackling offensive. A systematic literature search through digital libraries online databases (JSTOR, PubMed, Web Science, SCOPUS Google Scholar) was conducted using predetermined keywords T. absoluta, pinworm. We explain invasion citing mechanisms facilitating exploring potential diverse agents, low-risk substances. Specifically, we explore how botanicals, entomopathogens, semiochemicals, predators, parasitoids, host plant resistance, sterile insect technique others have spatially employed discuss these agents landscapes integrated approaches. NSs as assets general control, some liabilities barriers adoption systems from legislative, economic, social standpoint.

The pest kill rate of thirteen natural enemies as aggregate evaluation criterion of their biological control potential of Tuta absoluta

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Published: May 24, 2021

Ecologists study how populations are regulated, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce numbers of harmful organisms: an organism (a natural enemy) is used the density another pest). Finding effective agent among tens hundreds enemies a daunting task. Evaluation criteria help in first selection remove clearly ineffective or risky species from list candidates. Next, we propose use aggregate evaluation criterion, kill rate, compare reduction capacity not eliminated during selection. The rate average daily lifetime killing by enemy under consideration. Pest rates six predators and seven parasitoids Tuta absoluta were calculated compared. Several had that too low be able theoretically below crop damaging densities. Other showed high their potential for practical application can now tested commercial production conditions.
