In the short term, inadequate application of insecticides can lead to control failures when insect pests are not effectively targeted. In the longer term, exposure to sublethal insecticide concentrations can contribute to the evolution of insecticide resistance. The goal of this study was to compare aerial application and chemigation under simulated conditions to determine the most effective insecticide application method for managing S. albicosta. Three larval stages were exposed to the highest and lowest label rates of commercial formulations of bifenthrin (36.8 and 112.1 g a.i. ha-1) and chlorantraniliprole (52.7 and 75.1 g a.i. ha-1). Experiments were conducted in spray chambers, utilizing a carrier volume of 18.7 L ha-1 for aerial application and 1.57 cm ha-1 for chemigation. Mortality was recorded at 16, 24, and 41 h after infestation. The simulated aerial application was more effective than simulated chemigation in controlling S. albicosta, resulting in 100% mortality 24 h after infestation. Within the chemigation applications, chlorantraniliprole treatments were effective at both rates for all instars, while the high rate of bifenthrin exhibited greater efficacy than the lower rate. In conclusion, it was evidenced that the same insecticide active ingredients do not yield equivalent efficacy when applied via aerial application compared to chemigation. The present study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate insecticide application methods in controlling S. albicosta larvae.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"672-679"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12034310/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142974109","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}

(sensu lato), has a dual role in temperate tree fruit crops-a pest of stone fruit and a predator of key pests in pome fruit. Some growers trap earwigs in crops where they are pests, subsequently releasing them in pome fruit as an augmentative biological control strategy. Effective earwig monitoring and trapping are critical for understanding their biological control potential in orchards. Traps made of rolled, corrugated cardboard have long been used for earwig monitoring; however, no standardized studies have investigated improvements to them. In a series of trials, we explore options to improve traps by testing different trap materials, sizes, positioning on the tree, and time in the field, in addition to the lures and baits. We found that cardboard traps had higher earwig catch than black or translucent plastic traps. There were diminishing returns in earwig capture for increased trap length, plateauing at ~30 cm. Traps placed on the main trunk captured more earwigs than traps on the base or near the end of branches. Lures and baits mostly did not increase trap efficacy, except fish sauce which inconsistently increased earwig captures. The use of plastic bottles to contain the cardboard traps greatly reduced trap catch. Finally, we found evidence that traps left in the field for longer periods of time can increase earwig capture, possibly due to the accumulation of earwig aggregation pheromone. Overall, the standard unbaited corrugated cardboard trap was the most effective and practical earwig monitoring trap.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"551-560"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143367112","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 2017, damaging populations of P. perseae were discovered in commercial Hass avocado groves in San Diego and Riverside Counties. The unexpected and rapid spread of P. perseae raised the question of whether this range expansion was an extension of the original incursion or the result of a second invasion event. Using sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene, we found strong evidence that P. perseae populations in southern San Diego County are comprised almost entirely of the single haplotype (A) that was detected in 2004. In contrast, newly established (2017 onwards) populations of P. perseae infesting commercial orchards consisted exclusively of a second mitochondrial haplotype (G). This haplotype is found in Florida and the Caribbean and is conclusive evidence that California has been invaded a second time. Molecular analyses also confirmed that invasive P. perseae populations in Hawai'i are haplotype G, indicating that California and Hawai'i populations may have originated from the same source area (possibly Florida), or that California may have acted as an invasion bridgehead for the invasion of Hawai'i. Reproductive compatibility of the primary (haplotype A) and secondary (haplotype G) invasive populations in California was confirmed via a series of reciprocal laboratory crosses and results suggest that fertility of hybrid eggs is increased. The potential consequences of this second invasion into California by P. perseae are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"884-894"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12034307/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143384458","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}

Over 2 field seasons, we examined the effects of interplanting cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L. var. cantalupensis) with alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum L.) and Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus L.) on arthropod populations, cantaloupe yield, and fruit quality. Arthropod sampling through visual counts, sticky cards, and pitfall traps focused on herbivores and natural enemies across feeding guilds, with more specialized pests in the cucurbit system being identified to lower taxonomic levels. Living mulches might have delayed initial crop colonization by striped cucumber beetles (Acalymma vittatum F.) but had limited impact on beetle counts, which remained similarly low throughout the study across treatments. Aphid populations were lowest in wildrye interplanted plots, suggesting species-specific impacts on pest suppression. Beneficial arthropods, such as spiders, piercing predators, and parasitoids, were often more abundant in clover than in wildrye or monoculture plots, especially early in the season. However, cantaloupe yield was highest in monoculture plots, where fruit showed increased weight, size, and favorable color metrics compared to those from living mulch plots. These results indicate that while living mulches can support beneficial arthropods and possibly reduce early pest pressure, they may also introduce trade-offs in yield and quality.
