Insecticides are widely used as the primary management strategy for controlling Myzus persicae, the devastating pest ravaging various vegetables, fruits, crops, and ornamentals. This study examined the susceptibility of M. persicae field populations to bifenthrin, fosthiazate, acetamiprid, spirotetramat, afidopyropen, and flonicamid while exploring the possible metabolic mechanisms of resistance. The study findings revealed that M. persicae field populations exhibited susceptible-to-moderate resistance to bifenthrin (resistance ratio (RR) = 0.94-19.65) and acetamiprid (RR = 1.73-12.91), low-to-moderate resistance to fosthiazate (RR = 3.67-17.00), and susceptible-to-low resistance to spirotetramat (RR = 0.70-6.68). However, all M. persicae field populations were susceptible to afidopyropen (RR = 0.44-2.25) and flonicamid (RR = 0.40-2.08). As determined by the biochemical assays, carboxylesterases were involved in the resistance cases to bifenthrin and fosthiazate, whereas cytochrome P450 monooxygenases were implicated in the resistance cases to acetamiprid. However, glutathione S-transferases were not implicated in the documented resistance of M. persicae field populations. Overall, the susceptibility of M. persicae field populations to flonicamid and afidopyropen-two unregistered insecticides in Saudi Arabia-suggests their potential as promising chemicals that can expand the various alternatives available for controlling this devastating pest. Although the detected moderate levels of resistance to bifenthrin, fosthiazate, and acetamiprid indicate a shift in the selection pressure of insecticides for M. persicae due to Saudi regulations, which have resulted in eventual obsolescence of conventional insecticides in favor of novel insecticides. Finally, rotational use of aforementioned insecticides can help in managing insecticide resistance in M. persicae.

The green peach aphid, , is a notorious pest worldwide. We collected a field population of the pest (FZQ-F) that exhibited high resistance to neonicotinoids. Exposure to neonicotinoids can induce oxidative damage in animals; however, it remains unclear whether antioxidant enzymes contribute to the innate immune response of neonicotinoid-resistant pests against high doses of insecticides.

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles have attracted attention for the development of chemicals because of their many types, high physiological activities, and ease of synthesis. Aphids are severe pests found worldwide that cause serious losses in crop yield and quality every year. In this study, a series of novel dienolone thiazole derivatives were synthesized using dienolone acetate as the parent molecule.

Article Synopsis
- - The precise measurement of peach firmness is essential for optimizing harvest times, storage strategies, and reducing waste, yet existing technologies struggle with accuracy and robustness in non-destructive testing.
- - A new visuo-tactile sensor has been developed that can simultaneously measure peach firmness and monitor contact force during a single interaction, making it compatible with future robotic applications in agriculture.
- - Employing deep neural networks to analyze geometric images, this sensor demonstrated high accuracy in firmness and contact force measurements, making it a promising tool for agricultural robotics with significant potential for reducing damage during fruit handling.
