Suppression of the Sugarcane Aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Hemiptera: Aphididae), by Resident Natural Enemies on Susceptible and Resistant Sorghum Hybrids

Ashleigh M. Faris et al.

Summary: The sugarcane aphid, an invasive sorghum pest, poses a threat to North American sorghum production. Parasitoids and predators can effectively suppress the aphid population. The study found that the suppression was stronger on resistant hybrids compared to susceptible hybrids.

Increase in Importance of Aphelinus nigritus (Howard) on Winter Crops in Oklahoma Coincides with Invasion of Sugarcane Aphid on Sorghum in Oklahoma

K. L. Giles et al.

Summary: The study found that the parasitoid Aphelinus nigritus, which increased in abundance after the invasion of sugarcane aphids, was relatively abundant in winter wheat fields in the fall of 2016 but decreased in abundance over time. These results suggest that the abundance of A. nigritus is related to sugarcane aphids in the region, and their temporary presence in winter crops reflects landscape-level dynamics.

Recruitment of Natural Enemies of the Invasive Sugarcane Aphid Vary Spatially and Temporally in Sorghum Fields in the Southern Great Plains of the USA

Norman Elliott et al.

Summary: Sorghum is an important summer grain crop in the U.S. Southern Great Plains, but sorghum fields in Texas and Oklahoma are commonly infested by sugarcane aphids. Research indicates that there is no significant numerical response by natural enemies to sugarcane aphid density across different locations and years, but a numerical response is consistently observed when comparing fields within the same locations.

Crop and Semi-Natural Habitat Configuration Affects Diversity and Abundance of Native Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) in a Large-Field Cotton Agroecosystem

Isaac L. Esquivel et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of crop and semi-natural habitat configuration on the diversity and abundance of native bees in a large cotton agroecosystem. Results indicate that native bee communities persist in large-field cotton systems, with the highest number of bees found at the interface of cotton and semi-natural habitat. While cotton grown next to semi-natural habitat had higher species richness, the number of bees collected varied.
