Summary: From 2013 to 2019, field populations of H. armigera and S. exigua in Linli, Yueyang, and Changsha counties in Hunan Province showed varying levels of susceptibility to broflanilide, chlorantraniliprole, and emamectin benzoate. Broflanilide provided excellent control efficacy against both pests, while chlorantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate exhibited decreased efficacies, indicating the importance of broflanilide as a new tool for effective pest control.

Summary: The study revealed that resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda to emamectin benzoate is polygenic and shows incomplete dominant inheritance. Low cross-resistance was detected between emamectin benzoate and other insecticides. The synergists did not have a significant effect on the Ben-R strain, indicating a minor role of metabolic resistance in resistance evolution.

Summary: This study determined the lethal concentration of emamectin benzoate (EMB) on the fall armyworm (FAW) and assessed its sublethal effects on parental and offspring generations. Sublethal concentrations of EMB significantly influenced the life cycle and reproduction characteristics of FAW. These findings have important implications for the rational use of FAW insecticides.

Summary: This study found that Emamectin benzoate (EMB) can effectively inhibit the population of Spodoptera exigua, and its inhibition effects are dose-dependent. Through RNA-seq analysis, differentially expressed genes were identified, and biomarkers and key genes related to EMB response were discovered.

Summary: This study investigates the metabolites and potential toxicities of Emamectin benzoate (EMB) in marine sediments. Results show that EMB is almost immediately transformed into Desmethyl EMB (DES) with a lower transformation rate compared to fish tissue, possibly due to both abiotic and biological processes. The researchers suggest further assessment of freshly sampled marine sediments, different organic regimes, and active bacterial communities to better understand the rate of EMB to DES transformation around aquaculture sites.

Summary: The study found that chlorantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera exigua carries fitness costs, but these costs will disappear with the recovery of sensitivity when the insecticide is no longer used, supporting the idea that resistance can be managed by rotating with alternate insecticides.

Summary: This study evaluated the toxicities of emamectin benzoate (EB) and chlorantraniliprole (CT) individually and in a mixture against the fall armyworm. The mixture showed a remarkable synergistic effect, and the addition of an oil adjuvant improved the efficacy of both the individual insecticides and the mixture. This study provides a promising insecticide-adjuvant mixture for controlling the fall armyworm.

Summary: This study investigated the sublethal effects of emamectin benzoate and chlorantraniliprole on the growth, development, and reproduction of the fall armyworm (FAW). Both insecticides prolonged the development of FAW in the F-0 generation, with increasing concentrations of the insecticide leading to reduced fecundity. Emamectin benzoate significantly reduced fecundity in the F-1 generation, while chlorantraniliprole lengthened the preadult and adult stages and improved fecundity. Emamectin benzoate effectively inhibited FAW population growth at low concentrations, while chlorantraniliprole may stimulate population growth and cause a resurgence.

Summary: The use of microbial pathogens in combination with new chemistry insecticides can effectively control Spodoptera litura pests while reducing the overuse of insecticides. The combined treatments showed higher larval mortality and reduced concentration of insecticides, and also induced DNA damage in larvae. The study suggests that the combined approach can be a successful strategy for managing S. litura.

Summary: The study utilized the CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate an ABCB1 knockout strain of the Spodoptera frugiperda, which showed increased susceptibility to specific chemical insecticides and Bt toxins. This suggests that ABCB1 plays a significant role in the resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda to certain pesticides.

Summary: Cotton leafworm is a destructive pest that affects ornamental, industrial, and vegetable crops. The efficacy of emamectin benzoate and fipronil was compared using a leaf-dip bioassay. Emamectin benzoate was more effective than fipronil, and their combined exposure led to different levels of interaction. The study also evaluated their effects on detoxification enzymes. These findings are important for pest control and managing resistance risk.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular targets of emamectin benzoate (EB) in controlling fall armyworm (FAW). The glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) was identified as a potential target. The expression level of SfGluCl was found to be higher in the head and nerve cord of FAW, as well as in eggs. Knockdown of SfGluCl significantly reduced mortality caused by EB treatment.

Summary: The fall armyworm is an invasive agricultural pest that poses a serious threat to agricultural production and global food security. Chemical control is the most effective method for preventing outbreaks of the fall armyworm, but the development of insecticide resistance is a major problem. The mechanisms involved in insecticide resistance are still unclear.

Summary: Research has found that volatile emissions from two yeast species closely associated with the Australian stone fruit pest Carpophilus davidsoni (Dobson), Pichia kluyveri and Hanseniaspora guilliermondii, can effectively enhance the trapping of this pest. Adding 2-phenylethyl acetate to the co-attractant can significantly increase the catches of C. davidsoni compared to using isoamyl acetate or both compounds. Additionally, contrasting results were observed when testing different concentrations of ethyl acetate in the co-attractant in cage bioassays and field trials. This study demonstrates the potential of exploring volatile emissions from microbes associated with insect pests to develop more potent lures for integrated pest management strategies. Caution should be exercised when making inferences about attraction under field conditions based on results from laboratory bioassays.

Summary: Vegetables are valuable crops, but also susceptible to leaf miner infestations. A survey conducted in Multan, Pakistan revealed that 24 host plants were infested by leaf miners in 2022. Tomato leaf miner showed maximum attraction towards yellow sticky cards. The Baby red variety of tomato was the most preferred by leaf miners, while Sehar was the least preferred. Spinetoram and bifenthrin showed the highest reduction of leaf miner infestation.

Summary: This article introduces a generic Bayesian network model called PRReSTo, which estimates likely infestation rates of host items in consignments. PRReSTo takes into account the vulnerability of host items to pest infestation, the abundance of pests to which host items are exposed, and the effects of risk-reducing measures. PRReSTo can be used to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of risk reduction measures in different pest-host systems.

Summary: Colletotrichum and Alternaria species have become emerging fungal pathogens causing severe economic losses in citrus orchards in the Mediterranean area. The use of copper-based antimicrobials for disease management is increasingly problematic, and research for alternative formulations is encouraged. This study tested copper-alternative products on citrus orchards and found that they significantly reduced disease incidence and severity, often showing comparable or better efficacy than copper. The good efficacy of these products suggests their potential for sustainable and large-scale use in integrated and organic citriculture.

Summary: This study updated the economic thresholds for Lygus spp., a major insect pest of canola in Canada, by integrating a large data set collected over 23 years. The results revealed that the economic injury level for Lygus was around 9-23 insects per 10 sweeps, while spraying a foliar insecticide was only necessary when Lygus catches exceeded 30 insects per 10 sweeps. Additionally, analysis of Precision Yield Data showed that at low abundances (under 17 insects per 10 sweeps), Lygus may potentially stimulate canola yield and do not require control action.

Summary: A novel methodology was proposed to analyze water-sensitive papers (WSPs) for evaluating spray quality. The segmentation of overlapping droplets based on concave point detection and ellipse fitting achieved high accuracy. A linear relationship between droplet density and coverage was observed, and simulated WSPs were generated for high coverage estimation. This approach allows for more accurate spray quality indicators from WSP collectors.
