An invasive insect, chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), has emerged as a major strawberry pest, causing considerable yield and revenue loss in recent years. Pesticide application is the leading control option but is not always recommended due to resistance development. Host plant resistance (HPR) can be a novel option to manage S. dorsalis sustainably. Four commercial cultivars, 'Florida Brilliance', 'Florida Medallion FL16.30-128', 'Sweet Sensation 'Florida127', and 'Florida Pearl FL16.78-109', were evaluated for their performance in the 2021-2022 field season under the natural population of S. dorsalis. In 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, 3 more cultivars, 'Strawberry Festival', 'Florida Radiance', and 'Florida Beauty', were added to this list. Twenty bare-root strawberry transplants were planted in each field plot, and each cultivar was replicated 8 times in a randomized complete block design. Damage on trifoliate, number of adults and larval S. dorsalis on trifoliate, number of flowers, and marketable fruit yield were assessed for each cultivar. Results revealed that 'Florida Pearl 109' had the highest insect count and damage index of all 3 year. 'Strawberry Festival' also showed the same trend after its introduction in the second year. 'Florida Brilliance' and 'Sweet Sensation' had the lowest damage index, lowest adult insect count, and higher marketable yield compared to 'Florida Pearl 109' and 'Strawberry Festival'. Therefore, utilizing resistant cultivars can be an effective tool for managing S. dorsalis in the field.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"816-825"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12034312/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143559439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many do-it-yourself (DIY) control options have proven ineffective, baits are widely considered to be a viable DIY solution for residents who do not have access to professional pest control services. To evaluate their efficacy, we tested consumer-use baits (Combat gel bait, Combat bait stations, and Hot Shot liquid bait stations) in both laboratory two-choice assays and in-home assays, comparing them with professional gel baits (Vendetta Nitro, Advion Evolution, and Maxforce FC Magnum). All baits (consumer- and professional-grade) caused > 80% mortality within 14 d in laboratory assays, including against home-collected German cockroach populations. However, the in-home efficacy of consumer-grade baits in comparison to their performance in laboratory assays was inconsistent, with some baits resulting in significant declines in trap catch in 1 month (Hot Shot liquid bait stations), some taking longer (Combat gel bait), and some never showing a decline (Combat bait stations). Discrepancies between product performance in laboratory and in-home studies are concerning and suggest that laboratory assays alone might not be indicative of the potential for control, especially in the context of the more complex home environment. Failures of consumer-grade baits may require re-evaluation of current recommendations for the use of consumer-grade cockroach baits as a viable control option for residents struggling with cockroach infestations without access to professional pest management.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"826-837"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143034839","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, the development of resistance to pyrethroids in stored product pests is a widespread and urgent problem, which threatens the efficacy of commercially available LLINs. A potential approach for enhancing LLIN efficacy is the use of insecticide synergists to inhibit detoxification enzymes and exacerbate the effects of pyrethroids. Here, we evaluated the synergistic properties of 3 detoxification enzyme inhibitors-piperonyl butoxide (PBO), diethyl maleate (DEM), and triphenyl phosphate (TPP)-with LLIN against the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), and the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius). Pre-exposure to PBO resulted in higher mortality after exposure to LLIN for T. castaneum and R. dominica. With pre-exposure to PBO followed by LLIN exposure, there was a trend for lower LT50 values for both species, while the extent of synergistic effects was greater on R. dominica than T. castaneum. In contrast, with pre-exposure to DEM and TPP followed by LLIN exposure, there were no significant reductions in LT50 values for both species. In addition, the presence of food had a significant effect on the recovery and delayed mortality in T. castaneum and R. dominica, reducing the efficacy of synergist and LLIN in combined exposures.

(Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) is an important economic insect, and Exorista sorbillans (W.) (Diptera: Tachinidae) is an endoparasitic pest of larval B. mori. Dimethoate is less toxic to B. mori than E. sorbillans and is used in sericulture to controlling E. sorbillans. To investigate the effects of dimethoate treatment on the gut microorganisms and physiological functions of B. mori, 16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyzed the composition and structure of the gut microbiota. This study investigated their role in enhancing silkworm resistance by screening dominant populations after dimethoate treatment. The results indicated that dimethoate did not alter the composition of the dominant gut bacterial groups in silkworm; however, it significantly increased the abundance of the gut bacteria Methylobacterium and Aureimonas, and decreased the abundance of Enterobacterales, Bifidobacterium, Blautia, Collinsella, Faecalibacterium, and Prevotella. Eleven strains of dimethoate-resistant bacteria were selected through in vitro culture, all of which were unable to grow when dimethoate was used as a carbon source. Additionally, a germ-free silkworm model was established to assess detoxifying enzyme activity in the midgut. The results revealed that the gut symbiotic microbiota can enhance dimethoate resistance by increasing detoxification enzyme activity. This study identifies a novel pathway for silkworm resistance to dimethoate based on gut microbiota, providing new insights into the role of symbiotic gut bacteria in insecticide metabolism.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"858-867"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143412082","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}

In this article, a machine-learning algorithm is proposed to predict populations during whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci, Hemiptera; Gennadius Aleyrodidae) scouting and aid in determining the population distribution of adult whiteflies in cotton plant canopies. The study investigated the main location of adult whiteflies relative to plant nodes (stem points where leaves or branches emerge), population variation within and between canopies, whitefly density variability across fields, the impact of dense nodes on overall canopy populations, and the feasibility of using machine learning for prediction. Daily scouting was conducted on 64 non-pesticide cotton plants, focusing on all leaves of a node with the highest whitefly counts. A linear mixed-effect model assessed distribution over time, and machine-learning model selection identified a suitable forecasting model for the entire canopy whitefly population. Findings showed that the top 3 to 5 nodes are key habitats, with a single node potentially accounting for 44.4% of the full canopy whitefly population. The Bagging Ensemble Artificial Neural Network Regression model accurately predicted canopy populations (R² = 85.57), with consistency between actual and predicted counts (P-value > 0.05). Strategic sampling of the top nodes could estimate overall plant populations when taking a few samples or transects across a field. The suggested machine-learning model could be integrated into computing devices and automated sensors to predict real-time whitefly population density within the entire plant canopy during scouting operations.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"732-745"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12034313/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143560384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pupa of the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), a byproduct of the sericulture industry is a cheap and sustainable alternative to fish meal. This study aimed to examine the impact of replacing fish meal with silkworm pupae meal on the growth performance and health profile of Gift Tilapia fingerlings (Oreochromis niloticus). Gift Tilapia fingerlings (3.38 ± 0.23 g) were divided into 4 groups (n = 60 in each group). These fish were reared for 10 wk and fed at the rate of 4% body weight daily at 10 am and 3 pm. The basal standard diet was given to the control. The other 3 experimental diets were prepared with 10% (SWP10), 20% (SWP20) and 40% (SWP40) replacement of fish meal with silkworm pupae meal. The results showed that the values of weight gain, feed efficiency ratio and organosomatic indices were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the SWP40 group as compared to all other groups. The values of red blood cells, white blood cells, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, and hemoglobin concentration were also significantly improved in the SWP40 group. Whole-body crude protein differed non-significantly (P > 0.05) in all the study groups. The fat content was significantly higher in the SWP20 group.

Its recent arrival in the continental United States raises concerns about potential impacts on ornamental and vegetable crops. Dip treatments might serve as a phytosanitary practice for growers to start with plants free of visible pests. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of dip treatments using 4 biorational and microbial insecticides (mineral oil and Beauveria bassiana-based) in controlling T. parvispinus on bean seedlings. Following gentle agitation of cuttings, artificially infested with 10 second-instar (L2) larvae, for 15 s in each solution, thrips infestation was evaluated at 1, and 24 h postdipping, scoring the numbers of dislodged and dead larvae. Additionally, we tested whether dipping could cause phytotoxicity on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis), and mandevilla (Mandevilla splendens (Hook.f.) Woodson) cuttings during a 7-day period. Our results demonstrated that dip treatments effectively dislodged and killed T. parvispinus L2 larvae from infested cuttings, with BotaniGard-ES and Suffoil-X exhibiting the highest efficacy and a dislodgment rate of 80%-100%. BotaniGard-ES was the only product causing phytotoxicity on bean seedlings, but not on mandevilla and gardenia. Overall, we demonstrated that dip treatment using biorational insecticides is an additional tool that can be incorporated in the integrated pest management of T. parvispinus.

Successful EAB development has also been reported in European olive (Olea europaea L.). The recent detection of EAB in Oregon puts the future of these 2 hosts into question, as little is known about EAB's development in these species or how introduced biocontrol agents will respond. We conducted laboratory and field infestations of olive and ash in Delaware and Oregon to assess EAB development and associated parasitoid responses. We found no difference in the net population growth rate of EAB developing in Oregon ash versus green ash. However, these species supported significantly more population growth than olive, in which EAB net population growth rate was zero, with most larvae dying prematurely. Artificially infested olives were small, which may have negatively impacted phloem availability and larval survival. Future studies should be conducted investigating EAB development on larger olive material. Although no parasitism was observed in infested olive, as EAB larvae seldom reached life stages (third or fourth instars) susceptible to larval parasitism, late-instar larvae developing in Oregon ash were attacked by both Tetrastichus planipennisi Yang and Spathius galinae Belokobylskij and Strazanac, suggesting that biocontrol is a suitable option for this newly invaded region.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"907-916"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143019060","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}

Cathepsins, the main proteases in lysosomes, affect both immune responses and the digestion of plant proteins and may help mediate Bemisia-virus-plant interactions. We conducted research exploring the role of cathepsin in the interaction between B. tabaci MED and the plant viruses TYLCV and ToCV, both singly and in combination, on tomato. Levels of cathepsin F increased sharply in B. tabaci MED after feeding on TYLCV-infected, ToCV-infected, and co-infected plants and remained elevated for several days after feeding cessation. In all cases, levels were higher in co-infected B. tabaci MED than in singly infected individuals. Viral loads of each virus were also higher in co- versus singly infected B. tabaci MED, suggesting a synergistic relationship between TYLCV and ToCV. We next studied how dosing B. tabaci MED with a cathepsin inhibitor, inducer, or control affected viral acquisition, retention, and transmission. Viral acquisition and retention were lower in B. tabaci MED treated with cathepsin inducer than in controls; B. tabaci MED treated with cathepsin inhibitor had higher rates of viral acquisition and retention.
