Abstract:

The presence of insect pests has an important effect on the success of plant maintenance. The level of attack caused by insect pests can cause plants to die. The purpose of the study was to analyze agarwood plants that were attacked by insect pests and identify the types of insect pests that attack agarwood plants. The research method used is descriptive. The assessment of the level of damage to agarwood plants due to insect pests is calculated based on the criteria for damage caused by insect pests. Identification of insect pests is carried out directly in the field based on the activity of i

Abstract:

Dipteran insects are most destructive agricultural pests. They are also vectors of many diseases of human and animal. Much effort has been made to control this pest through chemical treatment. The application of biological control agents has been advocated as an ecofriendly control method for insect pests. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are obligate insect parasites that can be effective biocontrol agents for many agricultural pests including many Dipteran insect pests. EPNs pose much less threat to the environment than chemical pesticides. However, several biotic and abiotic factors along

Abstract:

This article reviews the development of electrostatic apparatuses for controlling insect pests in greenhouses. The apparatuses control insects by repelling them, capturing them, and killing them by producing an arc discharge. The single-charged dipolar electric field screen (SD screen) repels insects due to insects’ inherent avoidance behavior toward entering the electric field produced. As this behavior is common to many insect pests, the SD screen effectively prevents many pests from entering a greenhouse. The double-charged dipolar electric field screen (DD screen) has a strong attractive f

Abstract:

The climate change has been intensified the risk of climate dependent crop production. Increase in temperature can reduce crop duration, increase crop respiration rates, alter photosynthesis process and affect the survival and proliferation of pest populations. The importance of climate and weather events to the distribution of insects and their population dynamics has long been recognized. Insects are poikilothermic in nature and are directly under the control of temperature for their growth. The duration of insect life cycle is altered under increased temperature and elevated carbon dioxide

Enhanced resistance to neonicotinoids in pests is becoming well documented. We address the current understanding of neonicotinoid target site interactions, selectivity, and metabolism not only in pests but also in beneficial insects such as bees. The findings are relevant to the management of both neonicotinoids and the new generation of pesticides targeting insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

<em>A study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm University of Agriculture Makurdi (Lat. 7<sup>o</sup> 41’N, Long.8<sup>o</sup> 37’E), to document insects species associated with pigeonpea, and their relative abundance in relation to crop phenology.  A suction sampler (D-vac) and pitfall traps were used to collect insects, from three weeks after planting through to crop maturity infesting pigeonpea in twenty 5m x 5m plots. A total of ninety eight (98) species of insects were collected in both the D-vac and pitfall sampling. These consisted of 78 pests, 16 predators

Abstract:

Insectivorous bats are generalist predators and can flexibly respond to fluctuations in the distribution and abundance of insect prey. To better understand the effects of bats on arthropod pests, the types of pests eaten by bats and the response of bats to insect prey need to be determined. In this study, we performed DNA metabarcoding to examine prey composition and pest diversity in the diets of four insectivorous species of bats (Hipposideros armiger, Taphozous melanopogon, Aselliscus stoliczkanus, and Miniopterus fuliginosus). We evaluated the correlation between bat activity and insect re

The application of organic rice farming systems is a solution to the negative impacts of using chemicals in the application of conventional farming systems. Organic rice cultivation cannot be separated from the presence of insect pests that attack cultivated plants. Naturally, in an ecosystem that is still good, natural enemies are already present in nature without human intervention. The existence of natural enemies in a field can suppress the existing population of insect pests, so that their presence is very helpful in maintaining the balance of the existing insect pest populations.

Abstract:

Insect pests cause significant global agricultural damage and lead to major financial and environmental costs. Crops contain intrinsic defenses to protect themselves from such pests, including a wide array of specialized secondary metabolite-based defense chemicals. These chemicals can be induced upon attack (phytoalexins) or are constitutive (phytoanticipins), and can have a direct impact on the pests or be used indirectly to attract their natural enemies. They form part of a global arms race between the crops and their insect pests, with the insects developing methods of suppression, avoidan

Consequently, there is much interest in maximising the role of biological control in the management of these sap-sucking insect pests.

Indonesia is an agrarian country with agriculture as the highest livelihood for its population. The agricultural sector that is the main pillar in Indonesia's food supply is in terms of rice agriculture (Oryza sativa), especially as the global population continues to grow. However, a challenge that often lurks in efforts to increase rice production is the attack of insect pests. Insect pests result in significant crop losses and threaten food security. It is necessary to identify rice pest insects as an effort to extract information on the types of insects that harm agriculture. This study usi

It is widely accepted that climate change has a significant impact on the production of agricultural plants and the insect pests associated with them. Some of the uncertainties about insect pests are related to small-scale climatic variability, including temperature variations, relative humidity, atmospheric CO2, and precipitation patterns. Due to their great diversity, the plants that serve as their hosts, and the variations in global temperatures, different insect species are expected to react to global warming differently depending on where they live.
