Soil and root samples from each treatment were collected monthly and the number of <em>M. entorolobii</em>eggs and individuals and normalized difference vegetation indices were quantified. Analyses conducted on R found that the joint use of TRI + EG reduced <em>M. entorolobii</em> by up to 50% at the soil level, further decreasing reproduction factors and that TRI obtained a 59% reduction at the soil level.

It is not normally viable to simultaneously implement MAT with the sterile insect technique (SIT), as released sterile males are attracted to MAT devices. However, prior semiochemical exposure can reduce the later response of <em>Bactrocera</em> males to the same or another semiochemical, which may allow the synchronous application of MAT and SIT. We determined how the interaction between semiochemical pre-feeding, weather, and fly physiology impacted the response of male <em>B. dorsalis</em> to ME baited traps. Response by a known number of males in field cages was determined in relation to temperature, relative humidity, semiochemical pre-feeding (ME, eugenol, or none), diet (protein supplemented and protein deprived) and age (4, 10 and 20 days old). Semiochemical pre-feeding of both ME and eugenol equally decreased the response of males that were 10 days old, or older, to ME baited traps. Adult diet had no effect on the response of males to ME baited traps. Response improved as temperature and relative humidity increased. These results highlight the feasibility of synchronous MAT-SIT programmes targeting <em>B. dorsalis</em> and the viability of continued protein supplementation of sterile males.

How to use small samples of unlabeled data for feature learning has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved. The emergence of self-supervised contrastive learning methods and self-supervised mask learning methods can solve the problem of missing labels on the training data. However, each of these paradigms comes with its own advantages and drawbacks. At the same time, the features learned by dataset in a single modality are limited, ignoring the correlation with other modal information. Hence, this paper introduced an effective framework for multimodal self-supervised learning, denoted as MMSSL, to address the task of identifying cucumber diseases with small sample sizes. Integrating image self-supervised mask learning, image self-supervised contrastive learning, and multimodal image-text contrastive learning, the model can not only learn disease feature information from different modalities, but also capture global and local disease feature information. Simultaneously, the mask learning branch was enhanced by introducing a prompt learning module based on a cross-attention network. This module aided in approximately locating the masked regions in the image data in advance, facilitating the decoder in making accurate decoding predictions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a 95% accuracy in cucumber disease identification in the absence of labels. The approach effectively uncovers high-level semantic features within multimodal small-sample cucumber disease data. GradCAM is also employed for visual analysis to further understand the decision-making process of the model in disease identification.
