TL;DR: Overall, wild insects pollinated crops more effectively; an increase in wild insect visitation enhanced fruit set by twice as much as an equivalent increase in honey bee visitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dead-end trap cropping: a technique to improve management of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that B. vulgaris, or another plant species that is highly attractive for egg laying, but on which P. xylostella larvae do not survive, may serve as a ‘dead-end’ trap crop and be more successful than trap crop types that may only have increased oviposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on bell pepper production and green peach aphid infestations in New York
TL;DR: Bacillus PGPR could be useful in a M. persicae management program for pepper plants grown in locations with consistently high aphid pressure and fruit yield in the Bacillus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Onion thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae): a global pest of increasing concern in onion.
TL;DR: The biology and ecology of onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, and current management strategies based on chemical, biological, and cultural control as well as host resistance are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens, and Peponapis pruinosa (Hymenoptera: Apidae) as pollinators of pumpkin.
Derek R. Artz,Brian A. Nault +1 more
TL;DR: B. impatiens was a better pollinator of pumpkin than P. pruinosa and should be considered as a promising alternative to A. mellifera for pollinating this crop.
