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 ...
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 ...
(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 ...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are specialised, soil-dwelling parasitic worms that have emerged as potent biological control agents in modern agriculture. Their life cycle relies on a symbiotic ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 recent discovery of the widespread and longlasting effects of the potent toxic chemicals used in insect pest control and the potential dangers of their continued use is leading to a renewal of ...
