Summary: This study built a growing degree day (GDD) model based on daily temperatures and relative humidities to predict the time of egg hatching of Philaenus spumarius in the Iberian Peninsula. The model was validated with field observations and used as a decision-support tool for applying control actions against the insect pest. Controlling nymphs at two different dates could target the highest percentages of nymphal populations.

Summary: The interaction between insects and gut bacterial symbionts is essential for sustainable pest management. Interrupting obligate symbioses in insect families such as Pentatomidae and Tephritidae can effectively control pests without using insecticides. However, compatibility with other management strategies and consideration of potential impacts on non-target species are crucial.

Summary: The review discusses current innovations in RNA interference (RNAi) biotechnology for crop protection, particularly for managing insect pests in the order Hemiptera. It summarizes the characteristics of these insects and the transmission mechanisms for viral and bacterial plant pathogens. The potential of RNAi technology as a powerful tool in integrated pest control programs is highlighted, along with the recent advances and requirements for performing RNAi assays.

Summary: Vietnamese plantations of Chukrasia tabularis A. Juss are susceptible to attack by Hypsipyla robusta Moore. An integrated pest management approach was used to evaluate damage extent and control measures. Manual and biological control methods significantly reduced damage index, highlighting the value of IPM in managing the shoot-tip borer.

Summary: The introduction of the Ae. aegypti red-eye genetic sexing strain (GSS) and recombination suppressing inversion (Inv35) into the Pakistani genomic background was evaluated. The sexing features and recombination suppression properties were not affected, but some biological traits of the newly constructed strains were affected. Quality control analysis is necessary before applying GSS in sterile insect technique (SIT) field trials or applications.

Summary: This study developed a standardized sampling plan for scouting B. tabaci adults in tropical soybean fields and identified the appropriate sample unit and sampling technique. A total of 49 samples per field were required, and the sampling process lasted no more than 5 min per hectare with associated costs not exceeding US$ 0.74 per hectare.

Summary: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of foliar insecticide in suppressing M. sorghi infestations on both resistant and susceptible sorghum cultivars across different locations, as well as the significant positive relationship between natural enemies and M. sorghi infestation. Planting a resistant cultivar and integrating natural enemies with insecticide control methods are essential for effective pest management against this invasive pest.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of climate variables on sugarcane spittlebug adult populations, identifying evaporation, evapotranspiration, and cloudiness as the main climatic factors influencing the populations. These results provide a new perspective for decision-making in the preventive management of spittlebugs in sugarcane crops.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of genomic background on the efficiency of the sterile insect technique (SIT) using Ae. aegypti genetic sexing strains (GSS). The results show that the genomic background does not negatively affect the inversion result, indicating that the key elements of the GSS can be introgressed into the local genomic background. This finding has implications for improving the application of SIT and addressing regulatory concerns.

Summary: Insects are highly successful and diverse, but they pose a significant threat to agriculture, with potential losses of up to US$470 billion. Plutella xylostella, a devastating pest that attacks cruciferous vegetables, alone causes monetary losses of around US$4-5 billion worldwide. Insecticides have protected plants effectively, but their use comes with environmental and mammalian hazards, and insects are developing resistance to them. Understanding the mechanisms behind this resistance is crucial for addressing the issue and improving the effectiveness of insecticides.

Summary: Pests in bivalve aquaculture pose challenges to productivity and sustainability. Implementing integrated pest management (IPM) principles can improve economic and environmental outcomes. While IPM has been applied in some cases, data gaps and implementation barriers need to be addressed.

Summary: This study found two distinct genetic clusters in the cotton aphid populations in Korea, but there was no apparent correlation between the genetic structures and resistance profiles. Bioassay results showed different resistance and susceptibility patterns to different insecticides among populations. The results suggest that the formation of genetic structures in Korean cotton aphid populations may be influenced by factors other than insecticide resistance traits.
