“…Therefore, semiochemicals, such as sex and/or aggregation pheromones, are highly desirable for trapping and possibly use in direct control strategies ( e . g ., mass trapping 19 , attraction-and-kill 20 , and mating disruption 21 . Here, we describe the isolation, identification, and field evaluation of an aggregation pheromone produced by H .…”

The beetle Homalinotus depressus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major pest of coconuts in the Northern region of Brazil, for which environmentally friendly methods of control are desired. Behavioral responses of H. depressus to airborne volatile extracts from conspecifics suggested the presence of a male-produced aggregation pheromone. GC analyses of these extracts showed the presence of four male-specific compounds. Analytical data in combination with the synthesis of standards led to the identification of the male-released semiochemicals as epoxyisophorone (1), isophorone (2), homalinol (3), and 2-hydroxyisophorone (4), of which (3) was the major constituent. The configuration of homalinol was determined to be cis on the basis of retention times of synthetic cis and trans synthetic standards. Enantiomers of cis-homalinol were obtained in high enantiomeric excess by using biocatalysis. Their separation on a GC enantioselective column (β-Dex325®), allowed us to unambiguously determine that the absolute configuration of natural homalinol was (1R,2R,6S). Field bioassays demonstrated that both the synthetic major compound per se and mixtures of all four male-specific compounds were attractive to H. depressus.

There are many constraints that severely affect the global agricultural production and productivity which include the ever increasing of population growth, degradation of natural resources, climate changes and emerging pests. Among these factors, biotic constraints or pests are known to cause 25-50% or complete loss of plant production. Accordingly, various plant protection technologies have been deployed with the trend of focusing on the use modern biotechnological tools that are proven to be most effective and mandatory. The review covers a wide array of pest management methods ranging from the conventional biological control methods up to molecular breeding techniques. Furthermore, the application of new genetic engineering techniques fueled by new breakthroughs and innovations are the cornerstone of this review. Accordingly, the continuous increasing trend of GM crops cultivation in both crop type and hectare has urged many countries to deploy the technology as a key strategy to enhance their bioeconomy. In fact, plant protection is the discipline that immensely benefit from biotechnology than any other disciplines for ensuring food security and sustainable development. However, in order to fully exploit the enormous potential of biotechnology, appropriate biosafety regulatory frameworks and proper stewardship programs need to be effectively implemented. This integrated approach can promptly help respond to the ever-dynamic threat of pests and hence reliably combat food insecurity and ably contribute to sustainable development. Int. J. Appl. Sci.

“…Therefore, it is often necessary to repeat the treatments (Bažok et al, 2013), which is not in accordance with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, nor with rational use of plant protection products to which the modern agriculture aims. Accordingly, it is necessary to change the approach of the weevil control from an individual field approach toward controlling the larger affected area (Drmić et al, 2017). It is necessary to develop a strategy aimed to suppress the weevil population on the whole endangered area and to combine all available tools and methods avoiding the use of classical chemical control measures.…”

The effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae) infective juveniles (IJs) on sugar beet weevil (Bothynoderes punctiventris Germar, 1824 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)) larvae was investigated during two-year (2014-2015). The field study was conducted to assess EPNs potential for use in practice. In field experiments, three doses of nematodes were used and an untreated control. In the conditions of moderate larval attack (average infestation of 0.28 larvae per plant), EPNs showed clear dose response being highly effective (92.86% control) when applied in the highest dose. Although the results indicated that H. bacteriophora could have a satisfactory mortality effect on sugar beet weevil larvae, further investigations are needed in order to better determine the optimal dose and application timing. If effective, EPNs could be used as one of the tools in a strategy which aims to reduce sugar beet weevil population levels in a wider area.
