Control measures frequently rely on spraying contact insecticides, which often are inadequate. To provide insights for utilizing baits for their control, TCA foraging behavior was examined on liquid ant bait formulations that contained either fast-acting dinotefuran or slow-acting disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), and the impacts of these baits were assessed. Bayesian modeling of counts from time-lapse photography of TCA feeding on the baits and a control of sucrose solution in the field revealed strong evidence of similar foraging intensities between the control and the DOT bait and less foraging intensity on the dinotefuran bait. TCA abundance on the dinotefuran bait peaked within 8 h, then diminished to smaller feeding bouts over the 3-day study. In contrast, foraging on the DOT and control remained consistently high before bait depletion. The impact of the fast and slow-acting baits in field plots were based on TCA nest sizes and TCA abundance on sausage lures. Bayesian modeling predictions revealed nest sizes declined over the 2 months with bait present while the control had large nests. Abundance on the lures in the dinotefuran plots declined from the start of the study, while with the slow-acting DOT bait, declines in abundance were not lower than the control plot until 30 days after baiting was initiated.

This study investigated resistance to the OP insecticide phoxim in 12 field populations of H. armigera from northern China in 2022, revealing low levels of resistance (2.5- to 6.7-fold). Using an amplicon sequencing approach, we screened for ace-1 mutations in 13,874 moths collected from 114 populations collected between 2006 and 2022. We found 3 amino acid substitutions (A201S, G227E, and F290V) potentially related to OP resistance. The mean frequencies of A201S, G227E, and F290V mutations were 0.0032, 0.0001, and 0.0001, respectively. To assess these mutations' role in OP resistance, we expressed wild-type and mutant AChE1 proteins in Sf9 cells. Biochemical characterization revealed a 3.1-fold and 3.3-fold increase in the I50 of chlorpyrifos-oxon for A201S and F290V mutants compared to the wild-type enzyme, correlating with a 2.9-fold and 2.7-fold decrease in the Ki value. No enzyme activity was observed in the G227E mutant, indicating that only A201S and F290V confer insensitivity to chlorpyrifos-oxon. Our study demonstrates that amplicon sequencing is an effective method for large-scale screening of resistance-associated point mutations in field populations of H. armigera and potentially other insect pests.

Our study focused on managing SWD infesting fruits (blueberry, cherry, and raspberry) without visible signs using an artificial atmosphere with elevated CO2 and low temperature. We hypothesized that these factors affect SWD survival and possibly interact, with potential variations among different soft- or stone-fruit species or varieties. High CO2 concentrations and cold storage both negatively affected SWD development. A 24-h 100% CO2 fumigation, without cold storage, significantly reduced SWD infestations in all 3 fruit species studied.

Concurrent low-temperature treatment and CO2 treatment reduced the insecticidal efficacy of CO2 fumigation. Optimal fruit sanitation was achieved with a 3-h 100% CO2 treatment at ambient temperature before cold storage. Raspberries were the most suitable host for SWD development, with over a 5-fold higher SWD development compared to blueberries and over 50 times more than in cherries.

In addition, we quantified the amount of ethanol in tree tissues to understand whether ethanol concentration could reflect observed differences among treatments and tree species. Our findings demonstrated that ethanol-injected trees were significantly more selected by both Xyleborinus saxesenii and Xylosandrus spp. and that significantly more adult beetles of both taxa emerged from ethanol-injected than flood-stressed trees. In addition, we showed that ethanol injection can trigger attacks by X. saxesenii and Xylosandrus spp. on a variety of deciduous tree species, nullifying the effects of the species-specific characteristics observed on flood-stressed trees, which can only partially be attributed to the amount of ethanol within the plant.

In Taiwan, invasion of A. gracilipes has been associated with the declining of land crab populations in several hotspots. While liquid baiting program has been implemented in those areas, the operation is costly and labor-intensive since it typically requires the use and maintenance of bait stations. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the potential and effectiveness of hydrogel baits laced with borax as an alternative tool to control A. gracilipes. Laboratory studies demonstrated that hydrogel baits containing 3% borax achieved higher A. gracilipes mortality than those containing 2% and 1% borax. Specifically, hydrogel baits containing 3% borax resulted in >90% worker mortality within 21 d post-treatment (LT50 = 5.1 d), along with significant reduction in brood weight (>90%) and substantial queen death (>80% of colony fragments). Furthermore, field experiment indicated that A. gracilipes workers preferentially retrieved small-size hydrogel beads (3.1 mm OD; proportion removed = 1.00 ± 0.00) compared to the larger ones (6.2 mm OD; proportion removed = 0.03 ± 0.03), which will facilitate efficient transfer of toxicant within the colony and may minimize nontarget impact. In conclusion, alginate hydrogel baits with 3% borax appear to be a promising tool against A. gracilipes, although their field efficacy against large supercolonial populations remains to be investigated.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143384426","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}
