Extensive and misuse of pesticides can cause to toxicity humans pollution in the environment. The primary objective this study was determine insecticide load agricultural soils Troia, located Troia National Park Çanakkale Province (Türkiye) by QuEChERS method. For method verification, blank soil samples were spiked at two levels pesticides. overall recovery 84.8% with a relative standard deviat...

Several synthetic substances are used in agricultural areas to combat insect pests; however, the indiscriminate use of these products may affect nontarget insects, such as bees. In Brazil, one of the most widely used insecticides is imidacloprid, which targets the nervous system of insects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chronic exposure to sublethal doses of im...

Abstract This study explores the potential of a more environmentally friendly pest management approach for enhancing vegetative growth red ginger plants (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) by mitigating damage caused Lepidiota stigma (white grub) larvae. The was conducted at Experimental Garden Faculty Agriculture, UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta from April to August 2022, utilizing factorial Completely Rando...

Wildlife management has evolved through a series of stages, with early efforts directed toward individual species. Since the late 1800s, however, more wildlife applications have incorporated a systems approach, where communities are managed to promote the quality, quantity, and fitness of most associated species. Vertebrate pest management has followed a similar course of development, although ...

Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is one of the main problems and yields limiting factors in onion fields (Allium cepa L.). In present work, an effort was made to study relative susceptibility different cultivars infestation with evaluation some chemical bio-insecticides against T. effect meteorological on its population density. The results showed that infest all tested mor...

Insecticides are one of the major tools for controlling vector populations and for reducing the transmission of human pathogens. However, there are few new insecticides being developed and marketed for vector control. Herein, we report on the toxicity of six novel insecticides to both adult and larval Aedes aegypti (L). and the toxicity of three novel insect growth regulators (IGRs) to larvae. ...

We present a method for sequential estimation of the state of infestation of an agricultural crop by a pest arthropod. The method, which is based on Bayesian statistical theory, establishes stopping curves by requiring that a confidence interval be placed entirely on one side or the other of an economic threshold. The results of a given sequential sample are used to modify the prior of the subs...

Pest risk maps for agricultural use are usually constructed from data obtained from in-situ meteorological weather stations, which are relatively sparsely distributed and are often quite expensive to install and difficult to maintain. This leads to the creation of maps with relatively low spatial resolution, which are very much dependent on interpolation methodologies. Considering that agricult...
