Field trials in Andalusia (Spain) were undertaken over 2 years to optimize trap model, color, size, and density for the accurate determination of pest spatial distribution and damage as a function of olive cultivar. McPhail traps and yellow sticky panels outperformed the other 4 models with respect to the number of OFF captured. However, McPhail traps caught more natural enemies than yellow sticky panels and so sticky panels were selected to unravel the effect of color on the number of both OFF and natural enemies [hymenopteran parasitoids (Psyttalia concolor) and lacewings (Chrysopidae)] captured. Yellow sticky panels outperformed white, green, and blue ones for the number of OFF captured and captured the fewest natural enemies. When comparing the surface area of yellow sticky panels, 20 × 25 and 10 × 25 cm double-sided panels were equally effective at catching OFF. However, large double-sided yellow sticky panels caught significantly more natural enemies than the small double-sided panels, a key result for developing a less costly and environmentally friendly monitoring system. Furthermore, it was shown that the damage curve had a cultivar-based shape, i.e., for the same population size of OFF the damage caused varied depending on cultivar. Finally, 15 sticky panels per hectare were the optimal number for estimation of OFF spatial distribution.

(Diptera: Muscidae), are commonplace pests in both urban and agricultural settings. The potential for house flies as vectors of many disease-causing organisms to humans and animals, coupled with their incessant nuisance behaviors toward these hosts has resulted in a desire to manage their populations. Although many house fly management tools are available, insecticide use continues to predominate as the preferred choice. One such option, insecticidal baits, is commercially available in a variety of active ingredients that encompass several modes of action. Though they can be effective, resistance to many of the active ingredients used in bait formulations has been documented. The primary pathway for resistance evolution to bait products likely has been selection at the targeted adult stage. However, exposure at the larval stage may occur when these products are scattered on substrates, contaminating sub-surface developmental areas and ultimately, playing a selective role as well. A study was conducted to assess the potential mortality effects of insecticidal bait products on house fly larval development when applied according to the manufacturer's recommended label rate. Adult house fly emergence was reduced by nearly 40% due to treatment, supporting the implication that bait-driven mortality during larval development may represent a previously unrecognized selection pathway contributing to resistance evolution against these products.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142960754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, chemical pesticides can harm nontarget species, including natural enemies of H. halys. Pesticides with high toxicity to H. halys and low toxicity to its parasitoids need to be identified to support H. halys management. This is not only for natural biological control but also for preemptive classical biological control of H. halys by parasitoids. Here, we assessed the contact toxicity of residues of eight insecticides against H. halys and three of its main parasitoid species (Anastatus japonicus Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), Trissolcus japonicus Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), Trissolcus cultratus Mayr (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)). This study aims to provide valuable insights for preemptive classical biological control of H. halys using these parasitoids. Our results showed that A. japonicus exhibited higher tolerance to the tested pesticides, while T. japonicus was the most sensitive species. Among the pesticides, chlorantraniliprole had the lowest overall impact on all three parasitoid species. Additionally, acetamiprid, azadirachtin, and rotenone were found to be harmless to A. japonicus. Acetamiprid, however, was slightly harmful to T. cultratus. The remaining pesticides showed moderate to significant harmful effects on the parasitoids. For H. halys adults and fifth instars, the pesticides tested caused no mortality within the 24 h exposure. However, young nymphs were susceptible to the tested pesticides. Fenpropathrin had the highest toxicity to H. halys, killing 83.3%, 52.8%, and 19.4% of second, third, and fourth instars in a 24 h exposure. Fenpropathrin, acetamiprid, cyfluthrin, azadirachtin, and dinotefuran were all slightly harmful to the first instar nymphs. The other pesticides were harmless to H. halys in a 24 h exposure. Halyomorpha halys mortality increased with the contact time with the residue. Mortality of fourth and fifth instars of H. halys was >70% for fenpropathrin, cyfluthrin, dinotefuran, abamectin-aminomethyl, and acetamiprid if exposure continued for 7 d. Acetamiprid was effective in controlling H. halys nymphs but exhibited varying levels of toxicity towards the three tested parasitoid species, depending on the residue age and exposure time. Azadirachtin showed lower overall toxicity to beneficial insects, suggesting that these materials could be used to manage H. halys while minimizing harm to key beneficial species.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142960751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For several decades, researchers, regulators, and agricultural industry scientists have developed strategies to limit the evolution of resistance in populations of lepidopteran and coleopteran pests. A key attribute of many of these events was insecticide resistance management (IRM) strategies designed around a presumed high-dose expression sufficient to kill 99.5% of exposed larvae for some of the main target pests in corn, Zea mays L. and cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. In contrast, other target pests did not meet this high-dose criterion. Similarly, the recent release of ThryvOn cotton that expresses thysanopteran and hemipteran active Mpp51Aa2.834_16 toxin is not high dose, working on a combination of behavioral and sublethal effects to suppress populations. This unique mode of control has generated considerable uncertainty about what IRM strategies will be most effective to limit field-evolved resistance to this unique spectrum of pests. The goal of this manuscript is to present several knowledge gaps that exist in proposed Mpp51Aa2 IRM plans, focusing on its activity on thrips, Frankliniella spp. Addressing these gaps will be crucial to limit resistance and preserve the benefits that this technology may provide by alleviating reliance on conventional insecticides and seed treatments. Broadly, these considerations will be important for future GE events that are non-high dose but remain valuable components of a more holistic insect management programs that integrate multiple tactics to reduce conventional insecticide use for challenging pests.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142960719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insect pollinators contributed 73% of seed set and 69% of the weight of filled seeds per head in the open pollination of sunflowers, but large pollination deficits still existed. Insect pollination may enhance sunflower yield by augmenting the number and weight of filled seeds per head, but not by altering the total number of seeds. Except for the total number of seeds per head, yield parameters increased significantly with the number of honeybee visits. Low nitrogen accelerated the positive effect of honeybee pollination on sunflowers, and alleviated the negative effect of distance of beehives on honeybee visitation rate.
