Significance The ability to control damaging plant pests and vectors of animal disease is threatened by the emergence insecticide resistance. Developing effective strategies prevent, slow, or overcome resistance requires an understanding underlying genetic mechanisms. Here, we present example evolution arising from transposable element–mediated disruption a dominant insecticide-susceptible allele, resulting in expression recessive allele potent Our findings demonstrate how adaptive potential...
Abstract The peanut supply chain is characterised by a high production of by-products, mainly shells and small pods, often discarded processing companies. However, the richness nutritive substances makes these products valuable as feed substrates for Hermetia illucens larvae rearing. Therefore, aims this work were to (1) evaluate performance H. reared on by-products (2) study effect various levels fungal contamination in performance, focusing growth mortality. Two agro-industrial (rich...
Abstract BACKGROUND Aphis gossypii is a worldwide agricultural pest that causes high levels of economic losses by feeding and transmitting virus diseases. It usually controlled chemical insecticides, but this could lead to the selection resistant populations. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified associated with insecticide resistance. Monitoring activities detect presence such mutations in field populations can an important role insect management but,...
Abstract The use of insects as a protein source in feed production can significantly improve the sustainability livestock production. Despite several environmental and animal welfare benefits, economic such an approach depends on level consumer acceptance willingness to pay for insect-fed poultry diets. Using results online survey more than 850 Italian consumers, we first examine main differences between two groups consumers: those who are willing buy meat eggs not. t-test is used search...
Livestock farms represent a source of attraction for other species, which find food resources on the animals themselves, in supplied to them, their manure, etc. Insect too can suffer infestation by different organisms living substrates or behaving as parasites and/or predators. Breeding black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (L.) requires organic materials are attractive arthropods (commensals, mycetophages, scavengers, etc.). During recent years, breeding system adopted at Di.Pro.Ve.S....
Even though the problem of resource depletion our planet is getting increasingly worse, most input agro-food industry discarded, causing expensive management and disposal issues.According to Circular Economy principles, these problems can be faced by giving more value wastage, turning it into inputs innovative supply chains: biorefineries.The BIOWAFER project addresses those issues investigating how agri-food by-products consistently produced in Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) assigned...
