Abstract Phytohormones, pivotal regulators of plant growth and development, are increasingly recognized for their multifaceted roles in enhancing crop resilience against environmental stresses. In this review, we provide a comprehensive synthesis current research on utilizing phytohormones to enhance productivity fortify defence mechanisms. Initially, introduce the significance orchestrating growth, followed by potential utilization bolstering defences diverse stressors. Our focus then...
The peach–potato aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), is one of the most important pests economic crops. It damages plant directly by consuming nutrients and water indirectly transmitting viruses. This pest has unenviable title having resistance to more insecticides than any other herbivorous insect pest. Due development its chemical pesticides, it necessary find control options. Consequently, increased efforts worldwide have been undertaken develop new management approaches for M. persicae. In...
Plants have evolved distinct defense strategies in response to a diverse range of chewing and sucking insect herbivory. While herbivores, exemplified by caterpillars beetles, cause visible tissue damage induce jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated responses, insects, such as aphids whiteflies, delicately tap into the phloem sap elicit salicylic (SA)-mediated responses. This review aims highlight specificity Brassica plants associated underlying molecular mechanisms when challenged herbivorous insects...
Abstract The aphid Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae) causes significant crop damage by feeding on plant tissues, transmitting viruses, and reducing agricultural productivity. Challenges associated with chemical control methods, such as the development of pest resistance adverse environmental impacts, highlight need to enhance efficacy natural enemies for sustainable management. Methyl salicylate (MeSA) has been extensively studied in management using baited traps slow-release...
The prominent cultivation of lemongrass relies on the pharmacological incentives its essential oil. oil (LEO) has a significant amount citral (mixture geranial and neral), isoneral, isogeranial, geraniol, geranyl acetate, citronellal, citronellol, germacrene-D, elemol in addition to numerous other bioactive compounds. These components confer various medicinal activities LEO including antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant properties. attributes are commercially...
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...
Plants use a variety of secondary metabolites to defend themselves against herbivore insects. Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is natural plant-derived compound that has been used as plant defence elicitor and repellent on several crop plants. The aim this study was investigate the effect MeSA treatment Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis ('Hanakan' pak choi) its interactions with peach potato aphids, Myzus persicae, their enemy, Diaeretiella rapae. For this, we selected two concentrations (75 mg/L 100...
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 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...
Abstract The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), emerges as a significant threat to maize cultivation, inflicting substantial damage upon the crops. Particularly, its larval stage represents critical point characterised by economic consequences on yield. To manage infestation of this pest effectively, timely and precise identification stages is required. Currently, absence techniques capable addressing urgent need poses formidable challenge agricultural practitioners. mitigate...
Pest management has entered a new era with the emergence of three innovative antisense technologies: RNAi, CUAD, and CRISPR/Cas. These technologies, which operate through sequence-specific nucleic acid duplex formation guided nuclease activity, offer unprecedented potential for targeted pest control. While RNA-guided systems such as RNAi CRISPR/Cas were initially discovered in non-insect models fundamental biological mechanisms (primarily antiviral defense), DNA-guided CUAD system was first...
Abstract The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), is a highly migratory pest known for its sudden larval outbreaks, which result in severe crop losses. These unpredictable surges pose significant challenges timely and accurate monitoring, as conventional methods are labour-intensive prone to errors. To address these limitations, this study investigates the use of machine learning automated precise identification M. instars. A total 1577 images representing different instar were...
Abstract Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major pest in production, and its management remains significant challenge. Current control methods, which rely heavily on synthetic chemical pesticides, are environmentally detrimental unsustainable, necessitating the development of eco-friendly alternatives. This study investigates potential entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae as biological agent for O. pupae, focusing infection efficacy...
Abstract Lateralization in mating behavior is increasingly recognized as a significant trait insect species, yet its influence associated with gender, and sexual experience Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) remains poorly understood. This study examines how lateralized behaviors, interact to success efficiency O. furnacalis. We conducted controlled trials assess gender shape directional approaches (eg right- or left-biased) turnings 180° across the pre-copulatory, copulatory, post-copulatory...
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor poses a significant threat to honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies, leading substantial losses in the beekeeping industry worldwide. This study evaluated efficacy of stinging nettle (Urtica dioica as potential control agent for mites. Two application methods were tested: 20% w/v ethanolic extract spray and 10 g dried plant smoke, compared them with formic acid, commercially available treatment. Experimental naturally infested mites, divided into four...
There is a need to develop new ways of protecting plants against aphid attack. Here, we investigated the effect plant defence activator, cis -jasmone (CJ), in range cultivars Brassica napus, rapa and oleracea . Plants were sprayed with or blank formulation then tested peach potato aphids ( Myzus persicae Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) their parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae (M'Intosh) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). CJ treated had significantly lower settlement than control bioassay. Conversely,...
