Development and biological evaluation of nanoencapsulated-based pyrethroids with synergists for resistance management of two soybean pests: insights for new insecticide formulations

Jessica S. Boff et al.

Summary: This study developed and evaluated nanoencapsulated-based formulations of bifenthrin (BFT) and lambda-cyhalothrin (LAM) with synergists piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and diethyl maleate (DEM) for insect resistance management (IRM) against Euschistus heros and Chrysodeixis includens with reduced susceptibility to pyrethroids. The results showed that these nanoformulations had the potential to improve control efficacy and provide updates for designing new insecticide formulations for IRM.

Effects of insecticides on malacostraca when managing diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in combination planting-rearing fields

Dongsheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study tested the toxicity of 17 insecticides to three pests and found that spinetoram and MbNPV are the most suitable insecticides for combined planting and rearing fields, while other effective insecticides may be too toxic to crabs and crayfish, making them unsuitable for use.

Combined health risk assessment of organophosphates pesticide residues in greenhouse cucumber in the Northwestern of Iran based on Monte Carlo Simulations

Sajjad Yousefi et al.

Summary: Samples of greenhouse cucumbers collected from the Central Fruit and Vegetable Market of Tabriz between June and December 2017 were analyzed for pesticide residues and assessed for health risks. Results showed that washing and peeling significantly reduced pesticide residues, with no significant health risks for adults consuming cucumbers. However, children consuming unwashed and water-washed cucumbers had considerable non-carcinogenic health risks.

Status of insecticide resistance in Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) from 1997 to 2019: cross-resistance, genetics, biological costs, underlying mechanisms, and implications for management

Ansa Banazeer et al.

Summary: The diamondback moth, a global pest of crucifer crops, has developed resistance to various synthetic insecticides due to repeated applications, with metabolic resistance being prevalent. Different levels of resistance were observed in different regions, with autosomal resistance being more common than sex-linked inheritance. Additionally, high fitness costs associated with resistance have been confirmed.

Plant based natural products as potential ecofriendly and safer biopesticides: A comprehensive overview of their advantages over conventional pesticides, limitations and regulatory aspects

Aadil Khursheed et al.

Summary: Synthetic pesticides are toxic to humans, animals, non-target plants, and the environment, leading to an increased interest in biopesticides derived from natural sources. Plant-based biopesticides have complex chemical compositions that make it difficult for pests to develop resistance. They have various anti-insecticidal mechanisms and can inhibit oviposition and decrease adult emergence. However, limitations such as cost, production difficulties, and lack of appropriate formulations restrict their widespread use.

A single transcription factor facilitates an insect host combating Bacillus thuringiensis infection while maintaining fitness

Zhaojiang Guo et al.

Summary: This study reveals how Plutella xylostella modifies MAPK phosphorylation to modulate the binding of transcription factor FTZ-F1, and thereby regulates the expression of Bt receptors and non-receptor genes without incurring fitness costs.
