Impact of long-lasting insecticide-incorporated screens onColorado potato beetle and plum curculio

Abstract

IntroductionMany strategies have been implemented in integrated pest management for the control of insect pests. For example, mechanical control (hand-picking), biological control (utilization of natural enemies), mass trapping, genetic control, trench traps, baits, attractants, push-pull strategies, host plant resistance, and conventional chemical control have all been used for the control of agricultural pests

Long‐lasting insecticide‐treated nets: A new integrated pest management approach for Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

“…Our data suggested the possible use of LLINs as part of IPM programs against the Japanese beetle, as proposed for other insect pests such as the Colorado potato beetle, plum curculio, brown marmorated stink bug, and bark beetles (Skrzecz et al ; Gökçe et al ; Sabbatini Peverieri et al , ). In fact, to date, the control methods of the Japanese beetle in Italy has mainly been based on biological control agents with soil applications against larvae (e.g., SFR Piemonte ; SFR Lombardia ).…”

“…Long‐lasting insecticide‐treated nets were proved to be effective in forest pest control against bark beetles (Wehnert and Müller ; John and Zeilhofer ; Skrzecz et al ) and are currently employed in forest protection and commercialized in some European countries. To date, in agriculture only very recent papers report experimental experiences on stink bugs (e.g., Halyomorpha halys ), aphids ( Aphis gossypii ), whiteflies ( Bemisia tabaci ), and coleopterans ( Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Conotrachelus nenuphar ) (Dáder et al ; Kuhar et al ; Sabbatini Peverieri et al , ; Gökçe et al ). Therefore, LLINs can be regarded as a pioneering strategy for pest control in agriculture.…”

Effectiveness of field‐exposed attract‐and‐kill devices against the adults of Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): a study on duration, form and storage

“…The use of LLINs for an attract-and-kill strategy is an emerging approach that can help to protect crops or stored products from insect pests. [31][32][33][34][35][36] It was derived from the use of insecticidetreated bed nets, which have been the most effective tool for reducing malaria morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa in recent decades. 37 Use of A&K devices is considered a lowimpact pest control method because it does not require direct application of chemical pesticides over crops or orchards.…”

Vaporous essential oils and isolates restore pyrethroid-treated netting efficacy toAedes aegypti(Diptera: Culicidae)

“…Although pyrethroid-treated bed nets are primarily an antimalarial tool (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2019), they have also been utilized in the management of other mosquitoes, including Aedes aegypti (Che-Mendoza et al 2018, Herrera-Bojórquez et al 2020) and Culex spp . (Dery et al 2012), as well as other insects (GÖKÇE et al 2018, Ghosh et al 2021). However, widespread use of pyrethroids has resulted in high selection pressure that has driven field-evolved resistance to pyrethroids in mosquitoes, including Ae.…”
