TL;DR
The importance of host biochemical defenses in resistance to C. cupreata is demonstrated and provide a strong foundation for selecting resistant poplar clones and developing sustainable pest management strategies.
Simple Summary The fall armyworm is a destructive pest that causes major losses to maize crops worldwide. Crop insect resistance has become an important component of pest management. This study investigated whether a maize line called CH1 could naturally resist this pest. We compared the growth, survival, and reproduct...
Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a major maize pest requiring effective and environmentally sustainable management strategies. This study evaluated the efficacy of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, pheromone traps, and their integration under field conditions in Iraq. Significant differences (P ≤ 0.05...
Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium udum Butler, is a major biotic constraint limiting pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Huth) productivity in tropical and subtropical regions. Wilt incidence varied widely among 143 pigeonpea genotypes, ranging from 0.40 to 15.60 % at 30 days after sowing and escalating to 2.00 to 78.00 % at...
The spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is an invasive pest threatening maize production in Türkiye, with larvae inflicting serious damage to stems and cobs. This study evaluated four maize varieties (Hera, DS 0224, AGM 2468, and AGM 2356) under natural infestation in Hatay Province...
Overall, A. dexingensis and A. japonicus appear well suited for short-term suppression of R. pedestris through inundative releases, whereas the thelytokous A. gansuensis shows strong potential for long-term, sustainable population regulation, making it promising for augmentative biocontrol.
