These communication signals are chemicals called pheromones, and they have no effect on any other species but the target pest. With extra pheromone in the air, males can’t find females to mate. Less mating means less offspring, and less offspring means less crop damage. Learn More ...

Successful utilization of host plant resistance, phytochemical products, pheromones, biological control agents such as predators, parasitoids, entomopathogenic bacteria, virus, nematodes, and fungi can help to control many destructive pests to achieve sustainable crop protection. 展开 ...
70 years, the development of basic research in plant protection in China has made great progress and profound changes, starting from simple agricultural intervention measures to current integrated, biologically-based and environment-friendly protection measures to effectively prevent and control crop ...
1Introduction: The imminent challenge to human health and ecosystem by chemical agriculture For several hundred years, farmers handledcrop pestsin numerous ways which were ecologically sound. But in the 20th century, when the human population soared and food production was needed on a much greater ...
With increasing global population and limited expansion of cultivated land, it is necessary to identify innovative solutions for enhancement of agricultural productivity and meet growing food demand. Despite significant advancements in crop protection methods, substantial annual crop losses persist particularly...
This study took place in the Oeste region from 1996-1999 and it intended to analyse if the crop protection strategy followed by the farmer influenced the arthropod incidence and the natural control in protected vegetable crops under Mediterranean conditions. The observations were made fortnightly (Autu...
In the south-western (Ebro Valley, Spain) and southern (Po Valley, Italy) regions, continuous and irrigated grain maize, as well as irrigated grain and silage maize/winter wheat rotations are prevalent. Differences in current and proposed advanced crop protection practices for MBCSs were ...
