“…This is hard to explain, considering that dry soils are known to absorb insecticides whereas soil moisture favors their release from the formulation [85]. An explanation could be that moisture accelerates chemical [86] or biological degradation of the insecticide [87] and therefore the majority of the molecules are not in the soil fraction anymore [88]. On the contrary, higher cumulative rainfall in July seemed to have a positive influence on tefluthrin's efficacy against D. v. virgifera population in our study.…”

Limited Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Factors on the Efficacy of Soil Insecticides and Entomopathogenic Nematodes when Managing the Maize Pest Diabrotica v. virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a serious pest that infects maize. Insecticides or entomopathogenic nematodes are used to control the root-damaging larvae. However, such treatments are reportedly inconsistent in terms of efficacy under farming conditions. To better understand the reasons behind these inconsistencies, we studied the control efficacy of seed coatings, such as clothianidin; granular soil insecticides, such as cypermethrin and tefluthrin; and fluid-applied entomopathogenic nematodes, such as Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae). We assessed the influence of 12 biotic and 20 abiotic factors on the reduction of Diabrotica v. virgifera populations and on the prevention of root damage in 20 field-scale experiments in Hungary between 2010 and 2020. Results confirmed that all treatment types are able to control pest populations and prevent root damage, but with high variability. Our analyses showed that most investigated factors, for example, air temperature, most soil parameters, and pest infestation levels, did not influence the efficacy of the treatments. The efficacy of clothianidin in preventing root damage decreased slightly with increasing soil bulk density but improved with late maize sowing, and therefore late treatment, as well as with increasing soil moisture in July. The efficacy of cypermethrin in preventing damage improved slightly with increasing clay content in the soil. Tefluthrin was slightly less effective in reducing D. v. virgifera with increasing soil moisture in June. However, all these factorial influences were minor in their absolute effects. Surprisingly, none of the investigated factors seemed to influence the efficacy of H. bacteriophora. In conclusion, the efficacy of chemical and biological treatments against this soil pest remains difficult to predict under farming conditions.

“…Bees biosynthesize limited types of enzymes endogenously that can be enhanced by phytochemicals, but a large pool of candidate bacteria could generate more types of enzymes to efficiently detoxify various pesticides that bees cannot. Bees obtain exogenous bacteria from natural food (namely, horizontal transmission) or endogenous bacteria mainly from former generations (vertical transmission), with the latter being dominant in eusocial bees (honey bees and bumble bees) in nature. ,, In addition, more exogenous bacteria may be used for probiotic formulations that are (1) found in the environment (soil, water, or sediment) and selected for bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated environments, (2) found in plants, animals, and insects that evolved to be capable of detoxifying pesticides, or (3) currently used in probiotics for humans, animals, and bees. ,− A series of bacteria have demonstrated the capacity to detoxify pyrethroids, − organophosphates, ,, neonicotinoids, − a combination of several insecticides, and herbicides and fungicides (Supporting Information Table 2). More bacterial candidates can be discovered by genomic and omic technology as well as microbe databases. ,,− …”

The ongoing global decline of bees threatens biodiversity and food safety as both wild plants and crops rely on bee pollination to produce viable progeny or high-quality products in high yields. Pesticide exposure is a major driving force for the decline, yet pesticide use remains unreconciled with bee conservation since studies demonstrate that bees continue to be heavily exposed to and threatened by pesticides in crops and natural habitats. Pharmaceutical methods, including the administration of phytochemicals, probiotics (beneficial bacteria), and recombinant proteins (enzymes) with detoxification functions, show promise as potential solutions to mitigate pesticide poisonings. We discuss how these new methods can be appropriately developed and applied in agriculture from bee biology and ecotoxicology perspectives. As countless phytochemicals, probiotics, and recombinant proteins exist, this Perspective will provide suggestive guidance to accelerate the development of new techniques by directing research and resources toward promising candidates. Furthermore, we discuss practical limitations of the new methods mentioned above in realistic field applications and propose recommendations to overcome these limitations. This Perspective builds a framework to allow researchers to use new detoxification techniques more efficiently in order to mitigate the harmful impacts of pesticides on bees.

“…In Kenya, push-pull technology, which uses strategically planted crops to repel and attract pests away from the main crop, has been incorporated into maize farming practices. This method required alignment with traditional farming practices, but once integrated, it proved effective in pest control and improved soil fertility [54].…”

The increasing environmental and health concerns associated with conventional pesticides have catalyzed a significant shift toward the development and application of eco-friendly pesticides within the agricultural sector. It proceeds to trace the historical transition from chemical-based to eco-friendly pest control methods, outlining key milestones and driving forces behind this shift. A diverse range of eco-friendly pesticides, including biological, botanical, and mineral types, are then explored, with an emphasis on their unique modes of action and comparative efficacy to synthetic alternatives. It also addresses the multitude of benefits these pesticides present, from reducing environmental contamination and preserving biodiversity to offering economic advantages and enhancing public health and safety. Case studies illustrating successful implementation across various climates and crops underscore the practicality and adaptability of eco-friendly pesticides. It also critically assesses the challenges that currently hinder broader adoption, including questions regarding efficacy, economic and regulatory hurdles, and logistical constraints. It then projects into the future, speculating on innovative research directions, policy initiatives, and educational strategies that could support the growth and integration of eco-friendly pesticides into mainstream agriculture. The potential for nanotechnology and genetic engineering to revolutionize pesticide application and crop resistance is particularly highlighted, along with anticipated developments in global policies and regulatory frameworks. It also offers targeted policy recommendations to support the research and development of eco-friendly pesticides and best practices for their integration into farming and agribusiness operations, emphasizing the importance of IPM and collaborative knowledge-sharing networks. The synthesis of current knowledge with future perspectives provides valuable insights for stakeholders across the agricultural sector, advocating for informed decisions and strategic actions that align with environmental sustainability and human health objectives. Through such multidimensional analysis, the review articulates a clear vision for the role of eco-friendly pesticides in the evolution of sustainable agricultural systems.
