Abstract

Current pest management techniques would benefit from understanding the behavioural rhythms of the target pest and its body temperature, a critical aspect not well studied and potentially limiting the effectiveness of biopesticides under natural conditions. This study aims (1) to understand under...

Abstract

Since its invasion in late 2016, the fall armyworm has a widespread year-round distribution within Africa where it continues to threaten cereal production, particularly maize. Most recommended control advice emphasises the need for interventions against larvae early after colonization of a new...

Abstract

Globally, pests (invertebrates, vertebrates, pathogens, weeds) can cause estimated annual losses of between 20- 40%, but higher losses are disproportionately experienced by many low-income countries as agriculture is the mainstay of the majority of the people and of national economies. Pests pose a ...

Abstract

Background: Invasive alien species (IAS) cause significant economic losses in all parts of the world. Although IAS are widespread in Africa and cause serious negative impacts on livelihoods as a result of yield losses and increased labour costs associated with IAS management, few data on the...

Abstract

Experiments on two isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (IMI 389521 and IMI 386243) investigated whether modifying the solid-substrate phase of mass-production, namely the par-boiling, water and washing regimes of the rice substrate, affected conidial yield and germination....

Abstract

Field surveys were conducted monthly between December 2008 and July 2009 in Kerala, south-west India to compare the population dynamics of the red palm mite Raoiella indica (RPM) on two host plants Areca catechu and Cocos nucifera during one non-monsoon season when, in general, RPM populations...

Abstract

Current published records indicate that the red palm mite (RPM), Raoiella indica Hirst, has a much broader host range in the New World than in the Old World. Therefore, a series of studies were carried out in Kerala, India in 2009 and 2010 to elucidate the presence or absence of R. indica colonies...

AbstractFull Text

Chemical insecticides are used to protect stored grain from infestation by stored product insects and mites. In the UK only a limited number of products are available for application and there are concerns about safety, pest resistance and environmental impact of these conventional pesticides....

Abstract

Red palm mite (RPM) has recently become a serious pest of palms and other ornamentals in the Caribbean and eastern USA. A classical biological control project has been set up to examine the potential of using specialised natural enemies. The first stages of the project have focussed on the...
