value of neonicotinoid seed treatments to us soybean farmers.the benefits of neonicotinoid seed treatment to soybean farmers have received increased scrutiny. rather than use data from small-plot experiments, this research uses survey data from 500 us farmers to estimate the benefit of neonicotinoid seed treatments to them. as seed treatment users, farmers are familiar with their benefits in the field and have economic incentives to only use them if they provide value.201727577180
establishment of in vitro soybean aphids, aphis glycines (hemiptera: aphididae): a tool to facilitate studies of aphid symbionts, plant-insect interactions and insecticide efficacy.studies on plant-insect interactions of the soybean aphid, aphis glycines (matsumura), can be influenced by environmental fluctuations, status of the host plant and variability in microbial populations. maintenance of aphids on in vitro-grown plants minimizes environmental fluctuations, provides uniform host materials and permits the selective elimination of aphid-associated microbes for more standardized controls in aphid research.201727680689
evaluation of aphis glycines as an alternative host for supporting aphelinus albipodus against myzus persicae on capsicum annuum cv. ox horn and hejiao 13.bank plant systems provide effective biological control for pests infesting commercially important crops. aphids cause physical damage to crops by feeding on the leaves, as well as transmitting damaging viral diseases. to develop a bank plant system to control aphids that damage vegetable crops, we initially reared the parasitoid aphelinus albipodus (hayat and fatima) on the soybean aphid, aphis glycines (matsumura) reared on the soybean plant, glycine max (l.) that was elected as the alternate ...201727817154
overexpression of nictaba-like lectin genes from glycine max confers tolerance toward pseudomonas syringae infection, aphid infestation and salt stress in transgenic arabidopsis plants.plants have evolved a sophisticated immune system that allows them to recognize invading pathogens by specialized receptors. carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins are part of this immune system and especially the lectins that reside in the nucleocytoplasmic compartment are known to be implicated in biotic and abiotic stress responses. the class of nictaba-like lectins (nll) groups all proteins with homology to the tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) lectin, known as a stress-inducible lectin. here we ...201627826309
beyond focal pests: impact of a neonicotinoid seed treatment and resistant soybean lines on a non-target arthropod.integrated pest management (ipm) tactics may effectively control focal pests, but it is also important to test the compatibility of different tactics, and consider non-target organisms. we investigated the effects of a neonicotinoid seed treatment and rag resistance genes used for soybean aphid (aphis glycines matsumura) control on reproduction of a non-target herbivore (twospotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch) in short-term greenhouse experiments. we also examined interactions between ...201627845714
from pest data to abundance-based risk maps combining eco-physiological knowledge, weather, and habitat variability.noxious species, i.e., crop pest or invasive alien species, are major threats to both natural and managed ecosystems. invasive pests are of special importance, and knowledge about their distribution and abundance is fundamental to minimize economic losses and prioritize management activities. occurrence models are a common tool used to identify suitable zones and map priority areas (i.e., risk maps) for noxious species management, although they provide a simplified description of species dynamic ...201727859850
