Developmental stage determines the efficacy of silica nanoparticles in shaping maize defence, aphid performance and tritrophic interactions
BACKGROUND Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are emerging as promising elicitors of plant defence, yet how plant developmental stage influences their effectiveness remains poorly understood. We investigated whether maize vegetative stage modulates SiNP-mediated defence responses, and their consequences for herbivores and natural enemies. We hypothesized that SiNPs induce stage- and concentration-dependent defence, with stronger effects at earlier vegetative stages.
Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae
1 INTRODUCTION Biological control is a key component of integrated pest management (IPM), in which natural enemies regulate pest populations and influence ecological dynamics.1, 2 Predation risk plays a crucial role in shaping the behaviour, development and life-history strategies of herbivorous insects.
Potential risks of entomopathogenic biopesticides to beneficial insects
Keywords EPs nontarget effects beneficial insects ecological risk assessment sustainable pest management Optimising entomopathogen use for sustainable pest management Insect pests and pathogens threaten global food security and ecosystem stability, together causing an estimated $220 billion in annual crop losses while disrupting the ecological interactions essential for agricultural productivity (https://www.fao.org/plant-production-protection/about/en) [1].

A comparative approach for life history and functional response demonstrates similar survival strategies for Trichogramma evanescens and T. pintoi
1 INTRODUCTION In successful integrated pest management strategies (IPMs), the employment of natural enemies is particularly important because of its effectiveness and environmentally friendly context in the production of sustainable products.1 This understanding is mainly motivated by toxicological concerns about the intensive use of chemical compounds such as insecticides aiming immediate pest control.

Harnessing Phytohormones: Advancing Plant Growth and Defence Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture
1 INTRODUCTION Plants are remarkable organisms that possess an intricate system of chemical signaling to regulate various physiological processes (Tuteja and Sopory, 2008). Among these signaling molecules, phytohormones, also known as plant hormones, stand out as key players. They orchestrate crucial aspects of plant growth, development, and responses to environmental challenges (Weyers and Paterson, 2001).
