Abstract The striped cucumber beetle [StCB; Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)] and the western [WStCB; trivittatum (Mannerheim)] are closely related species of herbivores endemic to North America that specialize on Cucurbitaceae plants. StCB WStCB key pests cucurbit crops can reduce quantity quality yield or even kill plants, especially seedlings, by feeding vectoring pathogens...

Gene transfer to plants and the production of transgenic plants with various purposes, such as improving the performance and quality, resistance to pests, diseases, etc., and of great importance are carried out Gene transfer to plants performs to evaluate the transient and permanent gene expression. Transient expression is quick, easy and simple and is not influenced by position effect compare ...

Objective: To document and analyze relevant results reported on the relationships kept by essential elements, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) with biotic stress factors in higher plants.
 Design/methodology/approach: A bibliographic analysis was carried out using keywords related to concepts of nutrient relationship phytopathogens, plant fertilization nutrition stress. Subseque...

In recent decades, the research community evidenced that plants affected by pathogens and pests may display delayed development [...]

The repelling of insect pests and attracting beneficial insects using non-host plants is an important component ‘push-pull’ strategy. Plants with insecticidal properties are locally abundant can be utilized to management pests. For this study, Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus L.) Marigold plant (Tagetes erecta were intercropped cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata as border reduce the popul...

Insect pests cause significant damage to food production, so early detection and efficient mitigation strategies are crucial. There is a continual shift toward machine learning (ML)-based approaches for automating agricultural pest detection. Although supervised has achieved remarkable progress in this regard, it impeded by the need expert involvement labeling data used model training. This mak...
