“…Many factors can influence the performance of compounds in the field, generating differences in the attraction values found between the studies. Some of these factors have already been recognized as highly relevant for future research and include extrinsic variables (crops, season, and geographical location) and intrinsic variables (age and feeding) of the investigated species [ 33 , 106 ]. It is also important to note that under open-field conditions, attractant compounds do not appear alone but as part of an odorscape in which background odors can modify the insects’ response [ 107 ].…”

The study of the semiochemicals of the western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis, Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a relevant topic that spans the last two decades. Approximately a hundred articles published on this subject from 2000 to 2022 can be found in academic databases, representing approximately 5% of the research on this important pest. These topics have generated a platform for novel research with a high potential for development. However, to move on to a new research step, an effectiveness evaluation of the compounds discovered so far is necessary. This review conducted a systematic analysis of the research focused on the semiochemicals (kairomones, pheromones, and attractants) for this pest. Papers from the past three decades on WFT attraction to semiochemicals were collected from databases using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The number of individuals attracted to compounds was extracted from the papers and compiled for analysis. With this information, an attraction ratio was calculated. Forty-one possible attractants were found in the literature, with methyl isonicotinate being the most-studied compound so far, with the third-highest attraction ratio. δ-Decalactone was the compound with the highest attraction ratio, but it was one of the least studied. A meta-analysis of the WFT choosing proportion was performed for the compounds with more trials found in the literature. The predicted mean choice percentages for methyl isonicotinate (MIN) and Lurem-TR, the MIN’s commercial product, were 76.6% and 66.6%, respectively. There was a convergence among the analyzed studies showing a high degree of research focus on the same group of nitrogen-containing compounds (mainly the pyridine structure). These findings call for future research to diversify the discovery and evaluation of attractive compounds in this relevant study area.

“…Repellent constituents of G. sulphureus are influenced by pentadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid methyl ester and tridecane 66 . Tridecane is widely acknowledged since it was included in integrated pest management as a semiochemical pesticide for the same species 67 . Phenol and hexadecanoic acid methyl ester have dual functions, as repellent and insecticide, which is consistent with the previous study.…”

The use of chemical insecticides has had many adverse effects. This study reports a novel perspective on the application of insect-based compounds to repel and eradicate other insects in a controlled environment. In this work, defense fluid was shown to be a repellent and insecticide against termites and cockroaches and was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Globitermes sulphureus extract at 20 mg/ml showed the highest repellency for seven days against Macrotermes gilvus and for thirty days against Periplaneta americana. In terms of toxicity, G. sulphureus extract had a low LC50 compared to M. carbonarius extract against M. gilvus. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the M. carbonarius extract indicated the presence of six insecticidal and two repellent compounds in the extract, whereas the G. sulphureus extract contained five insecticidal and three repellent compounds. The most obvious finding was that G. sulphureus defense fluid had higher potential as a natural repellent and termiticide than the M. carbonarius extract. Both defense fluids can play a role as alternatives in the search for new, sustainable, natural repellents and termiticides. Our results demonstrate the potential use of termite defense fluid for pest management, providing repellent and insecticidal activities comparable to those of other green repellent and termiticidal commercial products.

“…Even though various specialists differentially define IPM, its strategies focus on sampling or monitoring procedures, knowing control and non-control levels, and selecting integrated control methods to be used (Kogan, 1998). For most field crops, chemical control through synthetic pesticides is the primary management tactic; however, there is a range of other tactics for pest control, such as biological control, pest-resistant and pesttolerant cultivars, cultural control (crop rotation, intercropping, trap crops, manipulation of fertilizer and planting calendar, and elimination of crop residues), genetic control (sterile insect technique), and behavioral control (baits, traps, mating disruption techniques), alone or in combination with chemical control (attract-and-kill) (Govaerts et al, 2006;Huang et al, 2014;Alphey and Bonsall, 2018;Neves et al, 2018;Padilha et al, 2018;Blassioli-Moraes et al, 2019;Sharma et al, 2019;Nunes et al, 2020;Preti et al, 2020;Cardé, 2021;Jalli et al, 2021;Kovaleski and Mastrangelo, 2021;Adomako et al, 2022;Parra et al, 2022;Pazini et al, 2022).…”

Integrated pest management (IPM) has greatly influenced farming in the past decades. Even though it has been effective, its adoption has not been as large as anticipated. Operational issues regarding crop monitoring are among the reasons for the lack of adoption of the IPM philosophy because control decisions cannot be made unless the crop is effectively and constantly monitored. In this way, recent technologies can provide unique information about plants affected by insects. Such information can be very precise and timely, especially with the use of real-time data to allow decision-making for pest control that can prevent local infestation of insects from spreading to the whole field. Some of the digital tools that are commercially available for growers include drones, automated traps, and satellites. In the future, a variety of other technologies, such as autonomous robots, could be widely available. While the traditional IPM approach is generally carried out with control solutions being delivered throughout the whole field, new approaches involving digital technologies will need to consider adaptations in the concepts of economic thresholds, sampling, population forecast, injury identification, and ultimately the localized use of control tactics. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed how the traditional IPM concepts could be adapted, considering this ongoing digital transformation in agriculture.
