Abstract Scientific and public interest in the global status of insects has surged recently; however, understanding relative importance different stressors their interconnections remains a crucial problem. We use meta-synthetic approach to integrate recent hypotheses about insect responses into network containing 3385 edges 108 nodes. The is highly interconnected, with agricultural intensification most often identified as root cause. Habitat-related variables are connected appear be underdiscussed other stressors. also identify biases gaps literature, especially those generated from focus on economically important popular insects, pollinators, at expense non-pollinating less charismatic insects. In addition serving case study for how meta-synthesis can map conceptual landscape, our results many where future meta-analyses will offer critical insights mitigating biodiversity loss.

Early‐season plant cover supports more effective pest control than insecticide applications

Ecological Applications, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 32(5)

Growing evidence suggests that conservation agricultural practices, like no-till and cover crops, help protect annual crops from insect pests by supporting populations of resident arthropod predators. While adoption practices is growing, most field crop producers are also using more insecticides, including neonicotinoid seed coatings, as insurance against early-season pests. This tactic may disrupt benefits associated with reducing arthropods contribute to biological control. We investigated the interaction between preventive pest management (PPM) practice cropping. an alternative approach, integrated (IPM), which responds risk, rather than insecticides prophylactically. In a 3-year corn (Zea mays L.)-soy (Glycine max L.) rotation, we measured response invertebrate predators PPM IPM without crop. Using any insecticide provided some small reduction plant damage in soy, but no yield benefit. corn, vegetative early season was key density damage, likely increasing abundance Further, year 1 decreased predation compared no-pest-management Contrary our expectation, strategy, required just one application, disruptive predator community PPM, because applied pyrethroid acutely toxic wider range neonicotinoids. Promoting effective at either intervention-based strategy. Our results suggest best outcomes occur when control encouraged planting avoiding broad-spectrum much possible. As part conservation-based approach farming, can promote natural-enemy provide populations.

Effect of Neonicotinoid Pesticides on Japanese Water Systems: Review with Focus on Reproductive Toxicity

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 23(19), С. 11567 - 11567

Опубликована: Сен. 30, 2022

Neonicotinoid pesticides (NPs) are neurotoxic substances. They highly effective as insecticides owing to their water solubility, permeability, and long-lasting activity. These molecules structurally similar nicotine act nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists. The administration of NPs experimental animals reportedly causes neuromuscular reproductive disorders. Moreover, recently reported problems caused by include damage land-dwelling creatures (such mammals birds), hydrobiology, ecosystems. This review summarizes the recent reports on NP concentrations detected in river systems several Japanese regions. values were lower than environmental standard values; however, seasonal variations observed. Furthermore, NP-induced testicular ovarian toxicity examined, revealing that mechanism injury is mainly driven oxidative stress. use declining worldwide, except Japan; therefore, continuous monitoring remains necessary.

Pesticide contamination in an intensive insect predator of honey bees

Pesticides used for plant protection can indirectly affect target and non-target organisms are identified as a major cause of insect decline. Depending on species interactions, pesticides be transferred into the environment from plants to preys predators. While transfer is often studied through vertebrate aquatic exposure, arthropod predators insects may represent valuable bioindicators environmental exposure pesticides.

Neonicotinoids Impact All Aspects of Bird Life: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 27(10)

Опубликована: Окт. 1, 2024

ABSTRACT Worldwide, bird populations are declining dramatically. This is especially the case in intensely used agricultural areas where application of neonicotinoid insecticides thought to—unintendedly—cause a cascade negative impacts throughout food webs. Additionally, there could be direct (sub‐) lethal neonicotinoids on birds, but to date no comprehensive quantitative assessment confirm or rule out this possibility. Therefore, we use meta‐analytical approach synthesising 1612 effect sizes from 49 studies and show that consistently harm health, behaviour, reproduction, survival. Thus, addition reduced availability, effects exposure likely contribute population declines globally. Our outcomes pivotal consider future risk assessments pesticide policy: despite localised bans, metabolites residues remain present environment birds will thus have long‐lasting both individual levels.

PGPR and nutrient consortia promoted cotton growth, antioxidant enzymes, and mineral uptake by suppressing sooty mold in arid climate

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Опубликована: Март 20, 2025

Introduction Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) plays a vital role in Pakistan’s economy, providing significant employment opportunities and supporting the country’s textile industry. However, cotton productivity is severely impacted by pests diseases, such as black spots caused sooty mold, posing critical challenges to sustainable agriculture. This study investigates novel integration of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with recommended NPK fertilizers micronutrients enhance growth, yield, disease resistance, post-harvest soil properties. Methodology A consortium Bacillus megaterium (ZR19), Paenibacillus polymyxa (IA7), sp. (IA16) were evaluated under six treatments: control (T1), PGPR (T2), (T3), + (T4), (T5), (T6). Results The results depicted increase antioxidant activities 19% superoxide dismutase (SOD), 29% peroxidase (POX), 28% (POD), 14% catalase (CAT) activity T6 compared control. Similarly, growth parameters substantially improved root length (39%), shoot (19%), biomass up 31 20%, respectively, T6. Moreover, yield attributes like single boll weight lint percentage also enhanced 32 13%, integration. In contrast, demonstrated considerable biocontrol potential against incidence was reduced 68% cotton, index 75%, efficacy reached 75%. biological chemical properties, including bacterial populations, microbial nitrogen, organic matter, essential nutrient availability. Discussion So, these findings witnessed dual behavior strains balanced nutrition can lead us development an effective biopesticide cum biofertilizer for production arid conditions combating mold effectively.
