LEPIDOPTERAN PESTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOYBEAN CULTIVARS PHENOLOGY
(Univ Federal Uberlandia, 2018-01-01)
Lepidopteran pests are one of the major constraints to the soybean production potential, whose defoliating caterpillars can occur throughout the crop cycle causing serious damage. Therefore, the objective was to study the ...
Social wasps are effective biocontrol agents of key lepidopteran crop pests
(2019-11-06)
Biocontrol agents can help reduce pest populations as part of an integrated pest management scheme, with minimal environmental consequences. However, biocontrol agents are often non-native species and require significant ...
Effects of intraguild interactions on Anticarsia gemmatalis and Chrysodeixis includens larval fitness and behavior in soybean
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-03-10)
BACKGROUND Crop pest management requires an understanding of the complex interactions among species that potentially impact crop yield. In soybean, the velvetbean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hubner), and the soybean ...
