Episparis tortuosalis Moore, 1867 is a serious pest of the Chukrasia tabularis A. Juss which is widely planted in plantations in Vietnam. A biocontrol option to manage this pest is a priority for the forest sector. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether there are potential biocontrol candidates within the E. tortuosalis population.

Drosophila suzukii is a highly destructive pest species, causing substantial economic losses in soft fruit production. To better understand migration patterns, gene flow and adaptation in invaded regions, we studied the genetic structure of D. suzukii collected across Italy, where it was first observed in 2008.

Anastrepha fraterculus Wiedemann is a horticultural pest which causes significant economic losses in the fruit-producing areas of the American continent and limits the access of products to international markets. The use of environmentally friendly control strategies against this pest is constrained due to the limited knowledge of its population structure.

We work on the development of transgenic sexing strains in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Tortricidae), which would enable to produce male-only progeny for the population control of this pest using sterile insect technique (SIT).

Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae) is one of the world’s most important viticultural pests. However, the reproductive mode, genetic structure and host adaptation of phylloxera in various viticultural environments remains unclear.

Pest eradication using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) involves high-density releases of sterilized males that mate with wild females and ultimately suppress the population. Sterilized females are not required for SIT and their removal or separation from males prior to release remains challenging.

The highly polyphagous Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni Froggatt) expanded its range substantially during the twentieth century and is now the most economically important insect pest of Australian horticulture, prompting intensive efforts to develop a Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) control program.

In the past decade, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) has caused extensive damage to global agriculture. As a high-risk pest for many countries, including New Zealand, it is important to explore its genetic diversity to enhance our knowledge and devise management strategies for BMSB populations.

The study "Study on morphology, biology of Thrips palmi and efficiency of different concentration of neem leaf extract on dragon fruit" on this pest on dragon fruit has not yet been conducted. The growers at focus dragon fruit areas do not know the timing of peak thrips population, or which methods to use to control them. Thus, study on morphological and biological characteristics of Melon thrips and efficacy of some botanical and so insecticides to control the thrips on dragon fruit was performed.

Twenty-six species of insect pests belonging to thirteen families, eight orders were identified after the surveys in some gardens of the water apple (Syzygium samarangense) in Hoa An Commune of Caolanh city, Dongthap province, Southern Vietnam. Some species of the pests, e.g., Aleuroclava aucubae, Trialeurodes lauri, Trichopsocus clarus, are new recorded in Vietnam.

The results showed that the sugar beet plants were harbored three main insect species i.e. Cassida vittata)Vill); Pegomyia mixta Vill and Scrobipalpa ocellatella Boyd. Four predatory species were associated with the three insect pests i.e. Coccinella undecimpunctata L.; Scymnus sp., Paederus alfierii Koch. and Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.).

The codling moth (Cydia pomonella L., Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a well-known pest worldwide and was first reported in 1952 in Turkey. It is traditionally controlled with several pesticide applications during each apple production season. The genetic diversity of codling moths was investigated in this study, based on the partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunite I gene. Twenty-two haplotypes from 9 populations were studied. The results showed an average haplotype and nucleotide diversity of 0.835 and 0.571, respectively.

Wireworms are polyphagous soil-dwelling pests that are hard to control. Attract-and-kill strategies, combining attractive semiochemicals with biocontrol agents, have great promise to control insect pests. We hypothesized that the combination of plant semiochemicals and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in an attract-and-kill system could greatly enhance the nematodes’ efficiency against wireworms. We evaluated the potential of alginate beads loaded with plant extracts and EPNs to control Agriotes obscurus.
