AbstractThe haphazard and irrational use of chemical pesticides has led to pest resurgence and pesticide resistance, posing a significant challenge in the management of economically important pests. Farming systems built on integrated pest management (IPM) can minimize the use of chemical pesticides and secure soil, plant, and human health by controlling pests at the same time. Bactrocera cucurbitae is a serious pest of cucurbitaceous crops including more than other 70 hosts. Though various control strategies have been developed against melon fruit flies, fewer efforts have been paid to establish effective and efficient integrated pest management programs. This review provides an overview of the life cycle and behaviour of melon fruit fly as well as a detailed analysis of the various IPM strategies that have been developed for their control. These strategies include cultural practices, such as weeding, removal of alternate hosts, and field sanitation, biological control methods such as use of natural enemies, and entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana, B. pseudobassiana), use of botanicals (neem, jholmol), and chemical control measures, such as the use of pesticides.Keywords: Bactrocera cucurbitaeIPMcontrolyield lossmanagement AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank our parents, friends, and professors from Agriculture and Forestry University who helped directly and indirectly during the process of manuscript preparation.Authors’ contributionsPramod Gyawali analysed the data and prepared the manuscript.

AbstractAfrican rice gall midge (AfRGM), Orseolia oryzivora (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is a significant pest of rainfed and lowland rice that causes about 25% to 100% yield loss. The effectiveness of chemical insecticides has been compromised due to insecticide resistance and concerns over their environmental impact, which necessitated an alternative approach that is safe and more sustainable. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana in controlling AfRGM on four popular rice cultivars under screenhouse conditions at AfricaRice/IITA, Ibadan, Nigeria. The experiment was laid out in a 4 x 3 factorial fitted in a completely randomized design (CRD) in three replications. Results showed that although both fungi significantly reduced AfRGM tiller infestation, the degree of reduction varied with the specific fungus and rice variety grown. Beauveria bassiana exhibited better control of AfRGM on FARO 37 and FARO 44 varieties, while M. anisopliae was more effective on FARO 66 and FARO 67 varieties. Tiller infestation had a significant negative correlation with grain yield (r= − 0.87, R2 = 77). The study also indicated that the two fungi strains had no harmful effect on the chlorophyll content and positively influenced agronomic traits and grain yield.Keywords: Entomopathogenic fungiMetarhizium anisopliaeBeauvaria bassianaAfRGMricetiller infestation AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully appreciate Dr Douro Kpindou for providing the EPF isolates from IITA laboratory, Benin Republic and Mr. Adebayo Kehinde for technical assistance.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData will be made available on request.

AbstractRugose spiraling whitefly (Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin) has become a major pest of coconut in Bangladesh. To assess farmers’ knowledge on host and management approaches of this pest, a survey of 240 farmers was conducted in eight districts of Bangladesh. Farmers noticed an expanding dispersion of this pest in Bangladesh since 2019. Among all the districts examined, Cox’s Bazar district was highly infested. Farmers mainly cultivated local coconut varieties in their homesteads. Forty percent (40%) of the farmers among all districts estimated that the pest reduced coconut yield to more than half. Only 1% of all farmers knew about all life stages of the pest. Consultation with extension officers significantly improved farmers’ knowledge of the pest. Summer was the peak season for the whitefly infestation. Farmers identified 22 hosts of the pest and almost four out of ten (40.4%) applied management methods against the pest. Among them, 22% used chemical methods, 42% used non-chemical methods, and 24% used both methods. Farmer’s types, purposes, and knowledge influenced their management approaches.Keywords: Coconut pestdispersaldamage severityyield lossmanagement methods AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the Sylhet Agricultural University Research System (SAURES) and the Ministry of Science and Technology, University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC) for providing the funds for our study.

摘要:螺旋式白蝇(Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin)已成为孟加拉国椰子的主要害虫。为了评估农民对这种害虫的宿主和管理方法的了解,在孟加拉国8个地区对240名农民进行了调查。自2019年以来,农民们注意到这种害虫在孟加拉国的扩散范围不断扩大。在所有检查的地区中,考克斯巴扎尔地区的感染率很高。农民们主要在自家种植当地的椰子品种。所有地区中40%的农民估计,这种害虫使椰子产量减少了一半以上。只有1%的农民了解这种害虫的所有生命阶段。与推广人员的磋商大大提高了农民对这种有害生物的认识。夏季是粉虱侵扰的高峰期。农民确定了22种害虫宿主,几乎十分之四(40.4%)的农民采用了防治害虫的管理方法。其中,22%采用化学方法,42%采用非化学方法,24%采用两种方法。农民的类型、目的和知识影响他们的管理方法。作者感谢Sylhet农业大学研究系统(SAURES)和孟加拉国科学技术部、大学教育资助委员会(UGC)为我们的研究提供资金。作者也感谢所有调查区的农民和副助理农业官员(SAAO)协助进行这项研究。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。作者贡献本研究由所有作者合作完成。dr .

AbstractStriga hermonthica is fast spreading in the Nigerian savanna and is predicted to encroach into the rainforest part of the country soon. S. hermonthica seedbanks in savanna soils have continued to rise due to poor agronomic practices by smallholder farmers. Considering differences in soil, climate, and agronomic practices within the savanna endemic agroecology, the severity of the infestation of S. hermonthica has varied from one location to another. Hence, there is a need to model a site-specific management approach for S. hermonthica in Nigeria. This review aims to understand the state-of-the-art management of S. hermonthica in Nigeria’s upland rice fields and further harmonize potential management approaches. Based on studies conducted in Nigeria, reducing S. hermonthica parasitism over a long-term period in the Savanna ecology of Nigeria implies the rotation of upland rice with trap crops, and enhancement of nitrogen fertility in farmers’ fields, combined with the use of seed-treated resistant or tolerant cultivars. In practical terms, farmer’s-research engagement in the long term is pertinent to reduce the severity of S. hermonthica in threatened areas.Keywords: Striga hermonthica (Del.)
