Effect of Larval Diet On Age-Stage, Two-Sex Life Table Analysis and Standardization of Laboratory Mass Rearing Protocol for Pink Stem Borer, Sesamia inferens Walker (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera)

The pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a polyphagous and destructive pest of major cereal crops, causing substantial yield losses. Biology, age-stage survival and reproductive potential of S. inferens were evaluated using the age-stage, two-sex life table approach. Under controlled laborator...

Varietal mixtures for insect pest management: agro-ecological mechanisms and applications in integrated pest management

Molecular ontogeny of Bemisia tabaci life stages reveals miRNA-governed development and egg-stalk support for early embryogenesis.

This atlas uncovers a previously unrecognized morphological innovation: a transporter-enriched egg stalk operating as an active, metabolically competent nutrient-harvesting appendage in B. tabaci.

Biocontrol potential of native entomopathogenic fungi against Phyllotreta spp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on radish: a study of damage suppression and population dynamics

Assessment of damage potential and sustainable management options in radish, a highly susceptible, short-duration crop that experiences both foliar and root damage, and the potential of native Beauveria bassiana isolates for integration into sustainable pest management programs highlights the potential of native entomo...
