In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), computer-aided approaches have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and safety of pesticide design. The application of these methods depends on comprehensive and accurate pesticide data, essential for developing effective pesticides. However, there remains a lack of integrated and user-friendly databases to display complete information on pesticides.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates how prior infestation of <i>Brassica rapa</i> by the cabbage bug <i>Eurydema ornata</i> (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) affects the aphid <i>Myzus persicae</i> (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its natural enemies, the predator <i>Harmonia axyridis</i> Coleoptera: Coccinedllidae) and the parasitoid <i>Aphidius gifuensis</i> (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). To explore these interactions, we assessed aphid survival and fecundity, monitored population dynamics, examined the behavior of the predator and parasitoid, and analyzed plant volatile emissions.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"151 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
