Biological control strategies harness living organisms, including predators, parasitoids, pathogens and competitors, to suppress pest populations within a broader integrated pest management (IPM) ...

A Balik Scientist is strengthening local research and development (R&D) capacity in insect science by equipping Philippine ...

Pt. 1. Scope of biological control -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Types of biological control, targets, and agents -- Pt. 2. Kinds of natural enemies -- 3. Parasitoid diversity and ecology -- 4. Predator ...

Biological control strategies for pasture pests employ natural enemies—predators, parasitoids and pathogens—to suppress herbivorous insects and maintain pasture productivity. Classical (importation) ...

Japanese beetles and cucumber beetles are another widespread challenge in Northeast Ohio. Adult beetles skeletonize leaves and flowers, but the best opportunity for control comes when they are ...

UC Riverside scientists have discovered a tiny worm species that infects and kills insects. These worms, called nematodes, could control crop pests in warm, humid places where other beneficial ...

BioNex’s mode of action works by disrupting the insect’s nervous system, while Hoplite’s mode of action works by causing ...

Scouting is a critical component of integrated pest management for soybeans — you need to know which pests are present to effectively manage them. Careful scouting for pests — both harmful and ...

Capturing the full value of your soybean crop takes more than just harvesting them at the right time in the fall. Proper soybean storage is critical for protecting your hard-earned yield from ...

Climate change and globalisation are driving a surge in threats to crops from insects and mites, researchers say. Rising temperatures are enabling pests to move further from the equator and to higher ...

Bionema Group Ltd, a Swansea University spin-out specialising in biological crop protection and sustainable agriculture, has ...

The widespread hypothesis that climate warming will result in unprecedented agricultural pest populations and cause food ...
