Laboratory efficacy of selected synthetic insecticides against second instar invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae

Atif Idrees et al.

Summary: This study assessed the toxicity of seven synthetic insecticides on the fall armyworm larvae and found that broflanilide and abamectin were the most toxic. The results provide a basis for the development of novel insecticides for controlling fall armyworm populations.

Bioassays of Beauveria bassiana Isolates against the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda

Atif Idrees et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the pathogenicity and feeding efficacy of 12 isolates of Beauveria bassiana on Spodoptera frugiperda. It was found that the isolates QB-3.45, QB-3.46, and QB-3.428 exhibited high pathogenicity, causing significant mortality in the eggs of S. frugiperda within 7 days of treatment. This suggests that these B. bassiana isolates can be used as an effective biological control agent against S. frugiperda.

Sublethal Effects of Emamectin Benzoate on Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Zhuo-Kun Liu et al.

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.

Effectiveness of Entomopathogenic Fungi on Immature Stages and Feeding Performance of Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae

Atif Idrees et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of five entomopathogenic fungal isolates against Fall Armyworm (FAW) in China. Three fungal isolates showed significant effects on egg mortality and reduced feeding efficacy of FAW larvae, suggesting they could be potential candidates for biopesticide development. Further research is needed to validate these findings in real-world situations.

Effectiveness of Different Soft Acaricides against Honey Bee Ectoparasitic Mite Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae)

Ziyad Abdul Qadir et al.

Summary: The study examined the efficacy of formic acid, oxalic acid, and thymol in controlling Varroa mites, with all three soft acaricides effectively reducing mite populations and being suitable for integrated management plans. Naturally occurring acaricides are considered essential alternatives to synthetic options in treating Varroa mites.
