This research tackles the intricate challenges of detecting densely distributed maize leaf diseases and constraints inherent in YOLO-based detection algorithms. It introduces GhostNet_Triplet_YOLOv8s algorithm, enhancing YOLO v8s by integrating lightweight GhostNet (Ghost Convolutional Neural Network) structure, which replaces backbone. adaptation involves swapping head’s C2f (Coarse-to-Fine) Conv (Convolutional) modules with C3 Ghost GhostNet, simplifying model architecture while...
Introduction The study addresses challenges in detecting cotton leaf pests and diseases under natural conditions. Traditional methods face difficulties this context, highlighting the need for improved identification techniques. Methods proposed method involves a new model named CFNet-VoV-GCSP-LSKNet-YOLOv8s. This is an enhancement of YOLOv8s includes several key modifications: (1) CFNet Module. Replaces all C2F modules backbone network to improve multi-scale object feature fusion. (2)...
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is one of the most important invasive pests worldwide, resulting in considerable losses host crops. FAW comprises two genetic strains, such as “rice strain”, which prefers rice and other grass species, “maize feeds upon maize sorghum. Potential control measures are generally more applicable to farmers who lack financial assets buy chemical insecticides or costly pure seeds. adverse effects pesticides on ecosystem human’s health development...
Abstract Behavioral studies play a crucial role in assessing food utilization insects. However, there exists gap our understanding of the phenotypic plasticity Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and how it impacts their growth, development, potential for plant damage. This study aimed to investigate S. , with focus on its immature stages, evaluate consequences damage pest management. We conducted vitro experiments using both standard artificial diet tobacco ( Nicotiana...
The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is one of the major invasive pests that causes severe economic damage to several hosts, especially plants, globally. Spinosad, a biopesticide widely used against insect pests, also shows promising results T. absoluta. Here, we investigated evolution spinosad resistance and its effects on biological traits related gene fully understand relationship between degree associated fitness costs. spinosad-resistant strain (SpRS) with...
Thiamethoxam, a second-generation neonicotinoid insecticide is widely used for controlling sap-sucking insect pests including Rhopalosiphum padi. The current study aimed to investigate the life-history parameters and feeding behavior of R. padi following treatments with sublethal concentrations thiamethoxam. lethal concentration 50 (LC50) value thiamethoxam against adult was 11.458 mg L−1 after 48 h exposure. (LC5 LC10) significantly decreased longevity, fecundity, reproductive days in...
Abstract Lateralisation is a well-established phenomenon observed in an increasing number of insect species. This study aims to obtain basic details on lateralisation courtship and mating behaviour Ostrinia furnacalis , the Asian corn borer. We conducted laboratory investigations observe behaviours adult O. . Our goal was also detect lateralised variations during sexual interactions elucidate how these variances might influence success males. findings reveal two distinct traits: male...
Abstract Honeydew, a sugary excretion produced by sap‐feeding insects, plays pivotal role in shaping intricate interactions between insects and plants. This review explains the multifaceted aspects of honeydew, beginning with an overview its production mechanisms factors influencing variability across insect species plant hosts. Exploring composition, we examine chemical components nutritional aspects, highlighting variations based on sources. The impact honeydew microbial communities is...
Abstract The Asian corn borer (ACB), Ostrinia furnacalis , (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a significant threat to crops, necessitates comprehensive research on its populations, across multiple clades. This study addresses the efficacy of various diets, such as an antibiotic mixed diet amoxicillin with artificial diet, wheat germ flour and fresh leaves, for successful mass rearing three clades O. investigates variations among insects reared under laboratory conditions. We validate these findings...
Abstract The maize crop is highly susceptible to damage caused by its primary pests, which poses considerable challenges in manually identifying and controlling them at various larval developmental stages. To mitigate this issue, we propose an automated classification system aimed the different stages of 23 instars 4 major lepidopteran pests: Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée; Lepidoptera: Crambidae), fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith; Noctuidae), oriental Mythimna...
Abstract The Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis, Lepidoptera, Crambidae) and Oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata, Noctuidae) are 2 major lepidopteran pests of the maize plant, especially whorls tassels. aim this study was to investigate competition between maize. Intraspecific interspecific occurs when O. furnacalis M. separata larvae interact with various stages plant. Therefore, determining whether can decrease larval damage by causing adverse effects on growth is crucial. During...
