Researchers have discovered that the circadian rhythms or biological "clocks" in some insects can make them far more susceptible to pesticides at some times of the day instead of others. Researchers ...
An international team of scientists, involving entomologists, conservation biologists, agro-ecologists and geographers, has just revealed how on-farm biological control can slow the pace of tropical ...
Biological control is emerging as a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides in agricultural ecosystems, with predatory insects playing a central role in suppressing pest populations. This ...
Trichogramma species, minute egg parasitoids, have emerged as a cornerstone in the biological control of agricultural pests. These natural enemies are deployed to suppress lepidopteran pests that ...
(Beyond Pesticides, November 30, 2023) Scientists at Minami Kyushu University in Japan have made a groundbreaking discovery of a new biological control for a target insect. They have identified a ...
Researchers from INRA, CIRAD, CEA, the University of Montpellier, and Chicago and Vanderbilt Universities in the United States have developed an innovative method for analyzing the genome of the ...
The National Park Service has tiered to an Environmental Assessment completed by the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for the environmental release of ...
The predatory mirid bug, Nesidiocoris tenuis, which preys on agricultural pests, is used as a biological control agent. This discovery has significant implications for biological control which ...
Paul-andré Calatayud is employed by IRD and is a visiting scientist at icipe. He receives funding for his research from both IRD and icipe. Sevgan Subramanian receives funding from icipe and the ...
The study of the B. thuringiensis spray in Canada in 1999 provides data that refutes arguments asserting that there are technological barriers that would prevent all but major military programs from ...
Biological control is the management of pests and their damage by the beneficial action of parasites (parasitoids), pathogens, and predators. These beneficial organisms, collectively, are named ...
