Smith), stem borers (Busseola fusca Fuller and Chilo partellus Swinhoe), maize aphids (Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch), and maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky). These pests can cause devastating losses of 20-50% in the field and up to 40% during storage. The pests are increasingly resistant to chemical insecticides, and there are growing concerns about environmental and health impacts. Sustainable alternatives are urgently needed. This review brings together insights from 34 studies (2000-2025) on plant-based insecticides, cultural practices, and their integration for maize pest management. Across the selected studies, larval mortality due to botanical extracts ranged from 45% to 92%, depending on the plant species used, formulation, and target pest. These values reflect the range reported in different studies rather than results from a formal meta-analysis. Cultural practices like intercropping, crop rotation, adjusting planting dates, and field sanitation lowered pest pressure by 18-80% and boosted yields by 8-45%. Combining these approaches was even more powerful, reducing fall armyworm damage by 65-88%, increasing yields up to 52%, and supporting beneficial insects. Despite these successes, challenges remain, especially in understanding how farmers adopt these methods and how they perform across different locations and seasons. Overall, this evidence shows that integrated, environmentally friendly strategies can protect maize, support farmers, and promote resilient, low-input farming systems. Future work should focus on long-term field trials, practical adoption, and socio-economic benefits to make these strategies widely accessible.

The primer sets recovered near-complete mitogenomes across the sampled taxa, and cross-platform comparisons were fully concordant outside the control region, supporting recovery of protein-coding, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA (tRNA) regions.

Nucleotide- and amino-acid-based phylogenies recovered broadly similar family-level structure but differed at unstable deep nodes involving Diaphorina and Diclidophlebia paucipunctata. Saturation diagnostics indicated that the mitochondrial signal was not fully saturated overall, although third codon positions showed the strongest saturation tendency. Relaxed-clock analyses using 2 calibration strategies bracketed the crown age of Psylloidea at ∼49 to 129 Ma, indicating that the resulting dates should be viewed as calibration-sensitive hypotheses rather than definitive age estimates.

Seed-blend refuges, in which Bt and non-Bt seeds are mixed in fixed proportions, have been widely adopted as a convenient insect resistance management (IRM) strategy. However, concerns remain about their efficiency in producing susceptible moths compared to a structured block refuge. To evaluate this, five field experiments were conducted across Texas and Georgia during 2020 to 2021 to compare adult H. zea emergence from non-Bt refuges configured as structured 100% non-Bt blocks or as 80:20 Bt/non-Bt seed blends. Adult production was quantified using two approaches: emergence cages that captured pupal-to-adult survival and screen bags that confined larvae on individual ears. Both methods yielded comparable estimates of adult H. zea emergence. Across all locations and years, seed-blend plots consistently produced fewer moths than expected based on the 20% refuge proportion, yielding 61% to 91% of the adults produced from structured refuges. Screen bag assays similarly showed reduced larval and pupal recovery from seed-blend ears. Non-Bt ears from seed-blend plots did not consistently differ from structured refuges in larval feeding intensity. Findings from this study indicate that seed-blend refuges may underperform in producing susceptible moths and may not consistently function as an effective standalone refuge strategy.</p>","PeriodicalId":16156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Science","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13050530/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147623182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As expected, all 15 CSPs contain 4 conserved cysteine residues and 6 α-helical domains, whereas 13 OBPs have at least 6 cysteine residues and 6 α-helical domains.

Such predator-prey relationships underlie the survival, fitness, and landscape utilization of predatory arthropods. Synanthropic arthropod species thrive in agroecosystems and in other landscapes transformed by human activity. Understanding the characteristics of synanthropic arthropod predator-prey relations is crucial to understanding and mitigating their impacts in nonnative ranges. One way to quantify predation is via the functional responses, which describe the strength and nature of predator-prey interactions. Predator traits and environmental conditions can influence functional responses, the resulting energy and nutrient flows, and ultimately population dynamics. Here, we present the first functional response quantification for the European harvestman (Phalangium opilio L.), an introduced opilionid species in the United States. We explore how predator sex, body size, leg characteristics, and environmental light levels influence foraging rates of wild-caught P. opilio on midge prey. We find that P. opilio exhibits a type II functional response on midges, and that predator sex, environmental light conditions, and many continuous predator characteristics such as body size and leg length do not influence functional response parameters. The number of legs missing also did not influence functional response parameters. Our results show that foraging rates in this species are primarily driven by prey density, while many classic determinants of interaction strengths do not appear to alter foraging. Our results improve our understanding of the role of nonnative predators in food webs and highlight the need for species-specific functional response experiments to quantify interaction strengths between novel predators and native prey.</p>","PeriodicalId":16156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Science","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13010330/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147504040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
