Imidacloprid, one of the most commonly used insecticides, is highly toxic to bees and other beneficial insects. The regulatory challenge determine safe levels residual pesticides can benefit from information about time-dependent toxicity this chemical. Using published data for imidacloprid several insect species, we construct time-to-lethal-effect plots fit temporal power-law scaling curves data. level exposure that results in 50% mortality after time t found scale as t1.7 ants, t1.6 t5...
Since 2016, the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda has spread over extensive areas of tropics and subtropics, imperiling food security, economic progress livelihoods millions cereal farmers. Although FAW received long-standing scientific attention in its home range Americas, chemical inputs feature prominently mitigation biological control uptake is globally lagging. Here, building upon a quantitative review global literature, we methodically dissect science. Of known entomopathogens...
Neurotoxic pyrethroid insecticides are widely used for crop protection, and lethal sublethal perturbations can be expected in beneficial insects. Under laboratory conditions, the effects of deltamethrin on aphid parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae M'Intosh (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were studied at mummy stage emerging adults. Following a multistep bioassay, analyses aimed evaluating various crucial steps recolonization process following treatment: Parasitoid pupal development (emergence from...
Abstract Conservation biological control aims to pests by promoting wild populations of natural enemies. One challenge is attract and retain efficient enemies in crop fields, which often are a suboptimal environment. Towards this goal, the attract‐and‐reward strategy relies on combining attractive synthetically produced herbivore‐induced plant volatiles ( HIPV s) with companion plants (non‐crop provide alternative resources targeted enemies). Although severely overlooked, spatial arrangement...
Intraguild predation (IGP) takes place when natural enemies that use similar resources attack each other. The impact of IGP on biological control can be significant if the survival enemy species is disrupted. In present study, we assessed whether Geocoris punctipes (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) engages in Eretmocerus eremicus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) while developing whitefly nymphs Trialeurodes vaporariorum Aleyrodidae). choice and non-choice tests, exposed G. to parasitized non-parasitized...
Abstract A mixed species release of parasitoids is used to suppress outbreaks tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae); however, this biocontrol may be inhibited by interspecific interactions. We investigated the effects releases natural enemies B. on predation rates, parasite performance and adult parasitoid emergence under greenhouse conditions. tested polyphagous predatory ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) two whitefly-specific parasitoids, namely...
