Effect of tree height and spraying methods on Diaphorina citri kuwayama endosymbionts in the context of Huanglongbing disease management in citrus orchards

Mubasher Hussain, Yun Zhong, Tonglai Tao, Baolin Xiu, Fengxian Ye, Jing Gao, Runqian Mao

Summary: This study investigated the effects of citrus tree height on psyllid mortality, endosymbiont responses, and HLB distribution. The age of citrus trees plays a significant role in psyllid mortality. Psyllids from both four- and 13-year-old citrus trees carried endosymbionts, and the infection rates remained consistent across different age groups. Tree height was found to influence HLB occurrence, with four-year-old trees demonstrating effective disease management compared to 13-year-old trees.

No evidence for the involvement of juvenile hormone III and 20-hydroxyecdysone in maternal decisions for embryonic diapause and diapause entry in the band-legged ground cricket Dianemobius nigrofasciatus (Orthoptera: Trigonidiidae)

Yuta Shimizu, Shin G. Goto

Summary: Diapause is a programmed stage-specific arrest or delay in reproduction or development and is commonly used to circumvent an adverse season. In the band-legged ground cricket Dianemobius nigrofasciatus, embryonic diapause is maternally determined, but the involvement of juvenile hormone III (JH III) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in maternal decisions and diapause entry is not supported by the study.

Cell wall-localized Bt protein endows rice high resistance to Lepidoptera pests

Hua Li, Lihua Deng, Lvshui Weng, Jinjiang Li, Wenbin Hu, Jianghui Yu, Youlun Xiao, Guoying Xiao

Summary: This study linked the Bt gene with other proteins to produce a fusion protein that was secreted and anchored onto the cell walls using constitutive promoters. The rice plants transformed with this fusion protein exhibited high resistance to lepidopteran pests without unintended effects on agronomic traits. The results suggest the potential of this approach in developing resistant crops.

Molecular diagnostics of insecticide resistance in Australian Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) quarantine intercepts

Yizhou Chen, Duong T. Nguyen, Grant A. Herron

Summary: Australian ports face continuous threats from exotic and invasive mite and insect species associated with imported fresh produce. While efforts are made to prevent the entry of these species, quarantine intercepts of invasive species may contain pesticide resistance genes or viruses that can harm Australian agricultural sustainability.

Toxicity of Cinnamomum spp. essential oil to Tuta absoluta and to predatory mirid

Karolina Gomes de Figueiredo, Gabriel Tadeu de Paiva Silva, Luis Clepf Passos, Dejane Santos Alves, Antonio Biondi, Geraldo Andrade Carvalho

Summary: This study evaluated the lethal and sublethal effects of Cinnamomum essential oils on Tuta absoluta and found that the essential oils significantly decreased the duration of the pest's life cycle stages and fecundity, as well as showed high toxicity to the larvae. However, the essential oils also caused significant mortality to the predatory insect Macrolophus basicornis, indicating potential incompatibilities with other integrated pest management tools.

Biological control of fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) using egg parasitoids, Trichogramma species (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae): a review

Omprakash Navik, Yogesh Yele, Santosh C. Kedar, S. N. Sushil

Summary: This paper reviews the potential and challenges of using Trichogramma as a biological control agent against Fall armyworm (FAW), an invasive pest that can cause significant crop loss. It discusses the occurrence of Trichogramma species on FAW, their biological attributes, mass rearing, release techniques, field efficacy, and integration with other parasitoids. Integrating Trichogramma with other parasitoids can help overcome the difficulties in penetrating scaled and multi-layered FAW eggs.

Where and Why do Females of the Parasitic Fly Istocheta aldrichi Lay Their Eggs on the Body of Adult Japanese Beetles?

Mattis Pelletier, Simon Legault, Josee Doyon, Jacques Brodeur

Summary: This study examined the egg distribution of Istocheta aldrichi on the body of its host, the Japanese beetle, and found that eggs laid on the host pronotum had a higher chance of successful development into pupae. Oviposition decisions in I. aldrichi are likely influenced by trade-offs between vulnerability to grooming by the host, foraging profitability of neonate larvae, and the mating and defensive behaviors of the Japanese beetle.

First record of the genus Alainites Waltz & McCafferty, 1994 (Ephemeroptera, Baetidae) from India with the description of a new species from the North-western Himalayas

Asha Sohil, Pandiarajan Srinivasan, T. Sivaruban, S. Barathy, Jean-Luc Gattolliat, Neeraj Sharma

Summary: A new species, Alainites neeru sp. nov., is described for the first time from India, expanding the known distribution of the genus Alainites. This species is closely related to A. muticus (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Palearctic region, but can be distinguished by several morphological characteristics. This study increases the total number of species in the genus Alainites to twenty-two.
