Merr.) planting is increasingly adopted in Indiana and the upper Midwestern USA to maximize yield potential, yet seedlings may be more vulnerable to early‐season pests and environmental stressors. Seed‐applied systemic insecticides and fungicides are widely used to mitigate these risks, but their in‐plant concentrations under cold and wet spring soil conditions remain undefined. We quantified thiamethoxam, mefenoxam, fludioxonil, and sedaxane across planting dates, growth stages, and locations. RESULTS During a 2‐year field study at three Indiana locations, soybeans were planted from early April to late May. Tissues were sampled at five growth stages: VE, VC, V1, V2, and V3/V4. Thiamethoxam was detectable in plant tissues up to later vegetative stages (V4) in both early‐ and late‐season plantings, whereas fungicides persisted only to the first trifoliate (V1) stage. Thiamethoxam concentrations were highest at emergence (~30 000–60 000 ng/g), primarily in cotyledons, and declined sharply by V4 (~50 ng/g). Associations between tissue concentrations and planting date or abiotic conditions varied by compound, year, tissue, and growth stage. No uniform planting date effect was observed. CONCLUSION Seed‐applied pesticides were concentrated in early seedling tissues and declined after emergence. No consistent relationships were observed between planting dates or abiotic conditions examined and pesticide residues in soybean tissues, making predictions about alignment between in‐plant concentrations and early‐season pest risk difficult. These early‐season field observations complement a literature base indicating that seed‐applied pesticides provide a brief, inconsistent window of protection that does not extend beyond the earliest growth stages. © 2026 The Author(s). <jats:italic>Pest Management Science</jats:italic> published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123846","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}

As a troublesome grass weed in soybean and maize agroecosystems, <jats:italic>Eriochloa villosa</jats:italic> (Thunb.) Kunth has attracted increasing attention, but the mechanism of its resistance to herbicides that inhibit acetyl‐CoA carboxylase (ACCase) has not been elucidated. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying quizalofop‐p‐ethyl resistance, a resistant <jats:italic>E. villosa</jats:italic> population from Liaoning Province, China, was studied using physiological, biochemical, molecular and transcriptomic approaches. RESULTS Whole‐plant dose–response analysis revealed a moderate resistance in the resistant (R) population (resistance index = 5.23), with 50% reduction in growth values of 55.11 and 10.53 g a.i. ha <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> for the R and susceptible (S) populations, respectively. Sequence analysis of the <jats:italic>ACCase</jats:italic> gene revealed the absence of previously reported resistance‐conferring substitutions, and <jats:italic>ACCase</jats:italic> expression showed no significant difference between the R and S populations. Furthermore, no significant differences in ACCase sensitivity were observed in all tested quizalofop‐p‐ethyl concentrations, collectively excluding the involvement of target‐site resistance. Transcriptomic analysis revealed several candidate genes, including cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genes <jats:italic>CYP724B1</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>CYP90A1</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>CYP89A2</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>CYP81Q32</jats:italic> , as well as the ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters gene <jats:italic>ABCF5</jats:italic> , that exhibited elevated transcript levels in the R population and validated by quantitative reverse‐transcription (qRT)‐PCR analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicated extensive involvement of plant hormone signaling pathways, particularly the abscisic acid and jasmonic acid pathways. Additionally, the R population exhibited significantly higher CYP450 abundance than the S population. CONCLUSION This study represents the first characterization of ACCase inhibitor resistance in <jats:italic>E. villosa</jats:italic> and reveals that quizalofop‐p‐ethyl resistance is mainly attributed to enhanced nontarget‐site mechanisms, likely involving CYP450‐mediated detoxification and ABC transporter activity. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123601","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}

{"title":"Social media as a new tool for studying the composition and spatial distribution of stored‐product arthropods in households","authors":"Tomas Vendl, Jakub Kadlec, Jiri Hadrava, Radek Aulicky, Vaclav Stejskal","doi":"10.1002/ps.71377","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.71377","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND Stored‐product pests (SPPs) are well studied in food storage and processing facilities, but their occurrence in households remains poorly known. Because household infestations are difficult to sample and monitor using standard direct surveys, we used photograph‐based identification requests from a public group on social media to investigate the composition, spatial distribution, and seasonal dynamics of stored‐product arthropods reported from households during 2020–2023. RESULTS In total, 994 SPP records were collected. Beetles dominated the dataset, accounting for 64% of records, followed by psocids, moths, and mites. Dermestid beetles were the most frequent group, representing nearly one‐third of all records, while <jats:italic>Plodia interpunctella</jats:italic> was the dominant moth species. Overall, 47 species or higher determinable taxonomic units were recorded, showing that households provide diverse resources and microhabitats for SPPs. Immature stages and activity traces were frequent, particularly in dermestids and <jats:italic>P. interpunctella</jats:italic> . SPPs represented only 16% of all household arthropod identification requests and were less seasonal than non‐pest arthropods. Pest spatial distribution differed among rooms and substrates: food‐associated species were mainly linked to kitchens, psocids and mites to bathrooms and toilets, dermestids to bedrooms and walls or ceilings, and ptinids to multiple rooms, especially windows and windowsills. CONCLUSION Households support a diverse assemblage of SPPs from different taxonomic and functional groups. Our study highlights social media as a useful complementary source of data on household pests, providing insight not only into their occurrence, but also into the taxa most likely to attract public attention and potentially require pest management advice. © 2026 The Author(s). <jats:italic>Pest Management Science</jats:italic> published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123600","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}

For Australia, we overlay the composite potential distribution with host crops to identify commercial areas at risk. RESULTS The potential distribution of <jats:italic>D</jats:italic> . <jats:italic>suzukii</jats:italic> includes all Australian commercial host growing regions. The global projected range extent changes by 6% when irrigation is included, and mean within‐range global cell suitability increases by 5 Ecoclimatic Index points.

Traditional assessments have focused on local applications, whereas growing evidence shows that pesticides can travel across large regions through air, water systems, and trade networks, leading to human exposure far from the original pesticide sources. In response, this study aims to propose an integrated conceptual framework that can identify key transport pathways, clarify long‐distance risk, and explore methods for quantifying exposure across interconnected systems. RESULTS We identify four major groups of pathways through which long‐distance pesticide exposure can occur, including environmental transport, water distribution systems, food trade, and non‐food commodity trade. Based on these pathways, we propose a modular source‐to‐receptor assessment framework that links three main components: pesticide sources, transport, redistribution, and transformation processes, and receptor‐level exposure and risk. The framework can integrate pathway‐specific environmental fate and distribution, hydrological, infrastructure, crop, trade, and exposure models. We further propose a three‐tier implementation strategy: screening‐level prioritization, spatiotemporal modeling, and integrated receptor‐level assessment. Key considerations include source attribution, transformation products, uncertainty, and aggregate (across sources per pesticide) and cumulative (across pesticides) exposure. CONCLUSION Long‐distance pesticide transport should be considered as a system‐level exposure problem rather than as a series of isolated pathways. The proposed framework provides an initial basis for linking pesticide use with geographically displaced human exposure and may support future development of more integrated monitoring, assessment, and risk management approaches. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"409 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149090523","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}

The most potent isolate, KRA705‐18 , was selected and UV mutagenesis was performed to improve its bioactivity. The active compound was purified, and its molecular formula and structure were identified through multiple spectroscopic analysis. RESULTS An irradiation time of 90 s was found to be optimal for mutant selection, yielding a 1.09% survival rate. After two successive mutagenesis cycles, the mutant strain ( <jats:italic>Streptomyces</jats:italic> sp <jats:italic>.</jats:italic> KRA0514‐6 ) exhibited the strongest and most stable antibacterial activity, consistently achieving over 90% inhibition within 24 h. The culture broth of the mutant achieved complete (100%) cabbage soft rot control at a 250‐fold dilution, comparable to oxolinic acid (200 ppm) under glasshouse conditions. Field trials further showed stable activity at the same dilution rates, with control efficacies of more than 70% at 21 days after treatment.

RESULTS In this study, we investigated the colonization behavior of the endophytic bacterium <jats:italic>Bacillus velezensis</jats:italic> PEBA20 in eucalyptus and evaluated its biocontrol efficacy against bacterial wilt. Both viable cells and cell‐free fermentation filtrates of PEBA20 inhibited the growth of <jats:italic>R. pseudosolanacearum</jats:italic> , and PEBA20 cells exhibited a clear capacity to occupy and invade pathogen colonies. PEBA20 survived and proliferated in artificial soil, colonized the eucalyptus root surface, including grooves, fissures, and root hairs, and was subsequently detected in root vascular tissues and in stem intercellular spaces and vascular tissues. Detached‐branch assays showed that PEBA20 restricted lesion expansion and pathogen accumulation in eucalyptus branches, with a stronger suppressive effect when PEBA20 was inoculated before the pathogen. Pot experiments further demonstrated that PEBA20 application enhanced the activities of defense‐related enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase, and peroxidase; significantly promoted seedling growth; and achieved 5.0% biocontrol efficacy against eucalyptus bacterial wilt.
