Abstract:

SUMMARYPests and diseases impact on crop yield and quality, and also reduce resource-use efficiency. Improved crop protection strategies to prevent such damage and loss can increase production and make a substantial contribution to food security. DNA-based technologies are likely to greatly increase the speed, sensitivity and accuracy of pest and pathogen detection and diagnosis. Rapid sequencing of nucleic acids from infected plants will aid identification of novel disease agents. Biomarkers of disease or crop damage such as volatile chemicals or blends may also be used to detect pest outbrea

Abstract:

Tree pathogens and pests are fundamental components of forest ecosystems. By killing and decomposing susceptible trees, they regulate the cycle of nutrients and energy flow, thus shaping the structure and composition of forest stands. However, ecosystems can be seriously disrupted when the population density of these parasites increases beyond their tolerance level. Ascertaining the origin of pathogen and pest outbreaks, recognizing their causal agents in a precise and unequivocal way, while understanding their reproductive and dispersive dynamics are all crucial for the implementation of effe

Abstract:

Plants are exposed to a diverse range of biotic stressors, including fungi, bacteria, nematodes, insects and viruses. To combat these enemies, plants have developed an arsenal of defense mechanisms over time, among which secondary metabolites are the most effective. Moreover, to overcome the negative impact of chemical pesticides, the plant’s secondary metabolites can be harnessed to develop novel disease management strategies. Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes and essential oils are major pathogen/pest-responsive secondary metabolite classes in plants. Among these, saponins have shown significa

Pathogens and insect pests are important drivers of tree mortality and forest dynamics, but global change has rapidly altered or intensified their impacts. Predictive understanding of changing disease and outbreak occurrence has been limited by two factors: ( a) tree mortality and morbidity are emergent phenomena determined by interactions between plant hosts, biotic agents (insects or pathogens), and the environment; and ( b) disparate global change drivers co-occur, obscuring net impacts on each of these components.

Excision of infected or infested branches from woody plants was recommended as a control tactic more than 150 years ago. The term "eradicative pruning" was first introduced for Dutch elm disease control.

The estimated potential yield losses caused by plant pathogens is up to 16% globally and most research in plant pathology aims to reduce yield loss in our crops directly or indirectly.

Abstract:

Climate change significantly affects plant-pathogen interactions, creating major challenges for global agriculture and food security. It alters pathogen distribution, biology, and life cycles, while also impacting plant physiology and defense mechanisms. Predictive models are crucial for forecasting pathogen spread under various climate scenarios, but they face limitations due to uncertainties and the complexity of biological interactions. Advances in biotechnology and genomics, including marker-assisted selection, gene editing, and the study of plant-microbe interactions, offer promising solu

Abstract:

Some of the most devastating crop diseases and insect pests can be transmitted by wind over extremely long distances. These low-probability but high-impact events can have severe consequences for crop production and food security by causing epidemic outbreaks or devastating insect infestations in previously uninfected geographic areas. Two prominent examples that have recently caused substantial damage to agricultural production are novel strains of wheat rusts and desert locust swarm infestations. Whilst quantitative estimates of long-range atmospheric transport events can be obtained using m

Abstract:

Protecting beneficial arthropods is essential, as they provide crucial services beyond pollination, including disease and insect pest management. The combination of several ecosystem services for agricultural sustainability requires the recognition that biodiversity is coupled with bio-complexity, productivity, resilience, and ecosystem functionality. Insects such as bumblebees, mason bees, and honey bees have long been employed professionally for pollination, likewise microbial biocontrol agents are frequently employed in pest management. A key aspect of pollination ecology is entomovectoring

Abstract:

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) can kill and recycle in their host populations, which bodes well for EPNs’ exploitation in long-term and safe pest management. However, EPNs’ cost and efficacy need transformational technology to supplant less expensive and more effective but toxic/unhealthy pesticides. A technology that allows for the significant uptake of commercial EPNs should both boost their market suitability and provide genetic improvements. This review provides brief overviews of EPNs’ biology and ecology from the standpoint of pest/pathogen management as a prerequisite for EPN improve

The increasing demand for sustainable solutions to agricultural pest and disease management has positioned Trichoderma fungi as a promising biological control agent. Trichoderma is not only capable of suppressing various plant pathogens but also promotes plant growth and strengthens natural plant defenses. This mini-review explores the molecular mechanisms underlying Trichoderma's ability to function as a biocontrol agent, focusing on nutrient competition, antibiotic production, mycoparasitism, and the induction of plant resistance.

Abstract:

Apples of the Soe cultivar are a major horticultural crop on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. However, their cultivation and productivity are significantly hindered by leaf spot disease. This disease causes severe damage to trees, impairing their ability to photosynthesize and consequently reducing fruit production. Various training initiatives have been implemented to improve fungal pest control in apple cultivation, yet expected results have not been achieved, largely because the specific pathogen had not been identified. Therefore, in the current study, leaf samples sho

Abstract:

A state-dependent impulsive SI epidemic model for integrated pest management (IPM) is proposed and investigated. We shall examine an optimal impulsive control problem in the management of an epidemic to control a pest population. We introduce a small amount of pathogen into a pest population with the expectation that it will generate an epidemic and that it will subsequently be endemic such that the number of pests is no larger than the given economic threshold (ET), so that the pests cannot cause economic damage. This is the biological control strategy given in the present paper. The combinat

Pathogens and pests constantly challenge food security and safety worldwide. The use of plant protection products to manage them raises concerns related to human health, the environment, and economic costs. Basic substances are active, non-toxic compounds that are not predominantly used as plant protection products but hold potential in crop protection. Basic substances’ attention is rising due to their safety and cost-effectiveness. However, data on their protection levels in crop protection strategies are lacking.

Abstract:

The association of sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani), a widespread fungal disease in rice and the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), a major rice pest, presents a significant challenge in rice production. Brown planthopper feeding may increase plant susceptibility to sheath blight by weakening plant defenses and facilitating fungal invasion through the wounds they create. The synergistic effects of brown planthopper and sheath blight infestation result in significant yield losses, complicating management strategies. Three sets of interactions were conducted, among the three sets, the hig

Abstract:

Onion white rot disease (Sclerotium cepivorum) is a serious production problem throughout the world. Very low pathogen level in the soil can cause significant loss. Generic integrated pest management programs include clean seed, site selection, sanitation, crop rotation, biological and chemical controls, crop resistance to the pest, and other components. Onion white rot disease management currently does not have crop resistance as a component. The lack of resistant germplasm and/or the inability to identify and screen potentially resistant germplasm are primary reasons. Research was conducted
