Monitoring and Detection of Insecticide Resistance in (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Evidence for Field-Evolved Resistance in Egypt.

(J.E. Smith) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) is a notable insect pest that invades major cereal crops, causing significant damage and loss.

Target Enzymes of and Essential Oils in Black Cutworm (): In Vitro and In Silico Studies.

In this study, in vitro and in silico approaches were employed to assess the toxicity of marjoram () and rosemary () essential oils (EOs) to larvae. The study determined the activities of ATPases in the larvae after treatment with the LC and LC of each EO. α-esterase and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities were also determined after treatment with LC and LC of each EO.

Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Cyantraniliprole on the Biology and Metabolic Enzyme Activities of Two Lepidopteran Pests, and and A Generalist Predator, (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

Cyantraniliprole is a novel anthranilic diamide insecticide registered for controlling chewing and sucking insect pests. Here, the lethal and sublethal effects of this insecticide on two destructive lepidopteran pests, Boisduval and Hufnagel, were evaluated. Because the effects of novel insecticides on beneficial and non-target arthropods must be considered, the impact of cyantraniliprole on a generalist biological control agent, [Stephens 1836], were also examined.

The Synergistic Effect of Lemongrass Essential Oil and Flometoquin, Flonicamid, and Sulfoxaflor on (Genn.) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae): Insights into Toxicity, Biochemical Impact, and Molecular Docking.

The whitefly, (Genn.), is one of the most dangerous polyphagous pests in the world. Eco-friendly compounds and new chemical insecticides have gained recognition for whitefly control.

Towards Sustainable Pest Management: Toxicity, Biochemical Effects, and Molecular Docking Analysis of Ocimum basilicum (Lamiaceae) Essential Oil on Agrotis ipsilon and Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

Over the last decade, essential oils (EOs) have become potential ingredients for insecticide formulations due to their widespread availability and perceived safety. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the toxicity and biochemical efficacy of basil (Ocimum basilicum) (Lamiaceae) against two destructive pests Noctuidae, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) and Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). In addition, a molecular docking study was performed to gain insight into the binding pattern between glutathione S-transferase (GST) and linalool, the main component of EO.

Characterization of Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) resistance to indoxacarb: inheritance mode, realized heritability, and fitness costs.

Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major economic pest attacking a variety of crops in Egypt and other Mediterranean countries. S.

Insights into the toxicity, biochemical activity, and molecular docking of Cymbopogon citratus essential oils and citral on Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

Insecticide resistance is a significant problem in insect management that can result from several processes including target-site change and increased activity of detoxifying enzymes. Spodoptera littoralis is one of the most resistant insect pests. For more effective insect management, alternatives to synthetic pesticides are encouraged.

Growth Optimization and Rearing of Mealworm ( L.) as a Sustainable Food Source.

As a sustainable food source for humans, mealworms () have a great deal of potential, due to the fact that they have a very favorable nutritional profile and a low environmental impact. For meal production, feed formulation and optimization are important. The mealworm (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is the most consumed insect in the world.

Phytochemical Investigation of Three Species and Their Larvicidal Activity Supported with In Silico Studies.

mosquitoes are transmitters of many viruses and are associated with the transmission of many diseases, such as filariasis and avian malaria, that have a high rate of mortality. The current study draws attention to the larvicidal efficacy of three methanolic algal extracts, , , and , against the third larval instar of . The UPLC-ESI-MS analysis of three methanol fractions of algal samples led to the tentative characterization of twelve compounds with different percentages among the three samples belonging to phenolics and terpenoids.
