The cultivation of citrus in the Mediterranean region is considerable economic importance. viability this industry contingent upon a number factors, with adequate phytosanitary management being particular significance. During last decade, geographical range invasive psyllid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918), has expanded to mainland territories Portugal and Spain. acts as vector for Huanglongbing disease (HLB). This review presents current knowledge about hosts psyllid their attractiveness suitability. A classification according suitability, assessed literature, provided. attributes methods used assess suitability are described, well climatic factors that affect psyllid–host interaction. emphasises importance comprehensive evaluation interactions between psyllids develop implement more effective strategies controlling T. erytreae.

The psyllid Trioza erytreae (del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is one of the vectors Candidatus liberibacter spp., causal agent huanglongbing (HLB) main citrus disease worldwide. In this study, we investigated for first time how flight behavior T. influenced by factors such as sex or daily and seasonal pattern fluctuations using a mill device under controlled laboratory conditions. Our results showed that can fly an average distance 16.20 m at mean speed 6 per minute, but few individuals were able to much longer, reaching maximum 395 m. Females displayed higher capacity than males. Moreover, found not confined diurnal alone, psyllids demonstrated ability during night, emphasizing need comprehensive vector control strategies account nocturnal activity.

Further research in area will contribute more nuanced understanding movement development precise measures. © 2025 Society Chemical Industry.

Plants and insects have co-evolved over millions of years, resulting in complex dynamic interactions that shaped the biodiversity our planet. Plant-insect relationships may exhibit features mutualism, antagonism commensalism. significant implications for agroecosystem functioning services. Thus, understanding between plants is critical sustainable agriculture ecosystem management. These are also to interplay agroecosystems their ecological sustainability production. This review aimed explore chemical, molecular benefit agroecosystems. Literature synthesis analysis based on a thorough compilation several investigations were carried out plant-insect using relevant key terms criteria. Curation data was databases resources such as Scopus, Web Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, PubChem, Gene Ontology. The evolution range adaptations by exploit plant resources, well diversity chemical mechanisms defense strategies highlighted. Moreover, issues pest management, natural enemies, soil health nutrient recycling pollination pertinent these discussed. Improved can result from encouraging habitat restoration creating or restoring habitats beneficial insects, planting native flowering providing bees with places nest. Interaction be improved promoting conservation bolstering practices

This study investigated the effects of four plant extracts on agronomic performance mung bean ( Vigna radiata ) during 2020 growing season at two sites in northern highlands Tanzania, namely Miwaleni and TARI Selian, located Kilimanjaro Arusha regions, respectively. The tested included Tephrosia vogelii, Clutia abyssinica, Clausena anisata , Lobelia giberroa using a randomized complete block design with replications. Extract concentrations ranged from 0 to 10,000 mg, variety “ Imara ” being used. results indicated that site significantly outperformed SARI Selian grain yield, 762 279 kg ha −1 height, 59.6 58.6 cm, Notably, L. gibelloa produced highest yield 583.6 p = 0.011) greater than C. (434.7 ). Yields T. vogelii (542.8 abyssinica (521.6 were not different . For had tallest averages 60.1 60.3 respectively, although these differences statistically significant. interaction between extract their height was also examined. At 0% concentration, (648.8 (65 cm). A concentration 100 mg generally improved yields for majority extracts, particularly (569.8 ), while higher (1,000 mg) led significant reductions especially These findings highlight importance optimizing levels considering site-specific factors enhancing productivity sustainability, emphasizing potential improving yields.
