Effect of Fertigation with Struvite and Ammonium Nitrate on Substrate Microbiota and N2O Emissions in a Tomato Crop on Soilless Culture System
(MDPI, 2024-01-02)
Struvite and ammonium nitrate (AN), as wastewater-recovered products, are possible alternatives as raw materials for nutrient solutions. However, their impact on the rhizosphere microbiota and N2O ...
Insight into the host-specificity of a native and a newly introduced parasitoid of Tuta absoluta and prospect for biological control
(Elsevier, 2024-02-16)
New strategies are urgently needed to control Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), one of the most destructive pests of tomato crops. Originating from South America, it is spreading rapidly ...

(Elsevier, 2024-01-19)
The sawtoothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) is an important pest of stored cereals. Due to the phasing out of many active compounds registered as insecticides and ...
Lobularia maritima as a nutrient-rich floral food source for two parasitoid wasps of Tuta absoluta
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2024-03-21)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the main pests threatening tomato production worldwide. Since its detection in the Mediterranean basin, it has been the target of research ...
Untangling the role of ethylene beyond fruit development and ripening: A physiological and molecular perspective focused on the Monilinia-peach interaction
(Elsevier, 2022-04-14)
It is already well known that ethylene plays a crucial role in peach fruit growth and ripening, by triggering an unset of biochemical and physiological changes that finally make the fruit attractive for ...
Brown rot on stone fruit: from epidemiology studies to the development of effective control strategies
(Elsevier, 2022-04-23)
In the last years, our research has focused on the study of brown rot on stone fruit caused by Monilinia spp. in the ‘Valle del Ebro’ (Spain). The epidemiology of this disease was thoroughly investigated ...

(Elsevier, 2024-02-09)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a major threat to worldwide tomato production, and sustainable management methods are needed. Betabaculovirus phoperculellae (PhopGV) and the ...
Removing non-crop flowers within orchards promotes the decline of pollinators, not their conservation: A comment on McDougall et al. (2021)
(Wiley, 2023-05-17)
1. Abundant and diverse floral resources are needed for the preservation of pollinator populations and the services they provide to human societies. However, pollinators are negatively affected by several ...
Changes in the distribution and pest risk of stored product insects in Europe due to global warming: Need for pan-European pest monitoring and improved food-safety
(Elsevier, 2022-05-18)
Global warming affects the distribution of stored product pest insects across Europe in a way comparable to field crop and orchard pests. Nevertheless, stored product research has been neglected in ...
Optimization of a Banker Box System to Rear and Release the Parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for the Control of Stored-Product Moths
(Oxford University Press, 2018-07-24)
Pyralid moths, such as Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) or Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), are among the pests of most concern in mills and food industries worldwide. One option for ...
