Although the boll weevil (BW), Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) has been attributed to significant losses caused cotton yield in Americas, categorization as a quarentenary pest places where it is still not occurring increased its relevance worldwide. In areas widespread, suppression relies on many broad-spectrum insecticide applications. However, other control tactics are sought. Considering that early-flowering cultivars escape from infestation, we investigated if three different planting dates (November, December, and January) could alter plant life cycle, allowing plants infestation. Field trials were run two seasons (2014/2015 2017/2018), variables (days required reach each flowering stage, fruiting structures-undamaged damaged by BW, totals-number of weevils had emerged fallen structures ground) assessed over 29 33 weeks, respectively. Based number days initiate terminate time economic threshold (ET), undamaged, damaged, total reproductive structures, concluded December for Central Cerrado Brazil should be preferred tested dates. Cultivations at this date, anticipating period initiation termination, reduced infested delayed decision making pest, when compared

Abstract Industrialized agriculture needs sustainable alternatives to pesticides avoid negative impacts on the environment and human health. Crop diversification is known decrease pest pressure in agricultural crops. Up till now, effects of insect herbivores crop yield are often assumed be equal among cropping systems. We sampled community cabbages five distinct systems characterized by increasing diversity. Using structural equation modelling, we assessed how herbivorous insects influence cabbage through direct consumptive indirect via changes community. The most diverse system synergistically increased abundance richness, whereas other did not differ consistently from each other.

Many insects, including green lacewings, migrate seasonally to exploit suitable breeding and winter habitats. Green lacewings are important natural enemies of insect pests worldwide. Here, four dominant lacewing species, Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto), Chrysopa pallens (Rambur), furcifera formosa Brauer, were investigated for their ability between northern northeastern China across the Bohai Strait from late May October each year. Furthermore, there significant interannual seasonal differences in number migratory collected. The spring was significantly lower than that summer autumn, highest average occurred June. In addition, sex ratio migrating months, with a greater proportion females males. Finally, migration trajectories simulated by HYSPLIT model revealed captured on Beihuang Island primarily originated Shandong Province. Accordingly, these findings contribute our understanding eastern Asia aid its incorporation within integrated pest management (IPM) packages several crop pests. long-term tracking migrant populations can reveal ecosystem services trophic dynamic processes at macroscale.
