Orius similis (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae): A Promising Candidate Predator of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Guang Zeng et al.

Summary: The native predator Orius similis has shown promising control abilities against the fall armyworm, especially in targeting eggs and first-instar larvae with a type II functional response. Furthermore, both female and male Orius similis exhibited a significant preference for maize seedlings damaged by fall armyworm, indicating a potential rapid locating ability towards the target prey.

The Fate of Deroceras reticulatum Following Metaldehyde Poisoning

Amy Campbell et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of metaldehyde on Deroceras reticulatum, finding that a lower concentration of metaldehyde may be as effective as a higher concentration, but more slugs were able to recover from metaldehyde poisoning at lower concentrations.

A Literature Review of Biological and Bio-Rational Control Strategies for Slugs: Current Research and Future Prospects

Archita Barua et al.

Summary: Terrestrial molluscs, especially slugs, pose a significant threat to agriculture globally, leading to substantial yield losses in crops. The limited availability of molluscicides and their negative impact on the environment have increased the need for alternative and environmentally friendly control measures. This study focuses on nonchemical control methods for slugs, including natural enemies and products with potential slug control, and highlights the importance of further research to develop effective nonchemical solutions.
