Novel lighting technology offers the possibility of improved arthropod integrated pest
management (IPM) in artificially lighted crops. This review compiles the current knowledge …

Herein, the ecology of genus Propylea, with special reference to its three species—viz. P.
dissecta (Mulsant), P. japonica (Thunberg), and P. quatuordecimpunctata Linnaeus is …

Sexual activities of predaceous ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) involve complex
interactions. Hence, we reviewed information on pre-mating, mating and post-mating …

Light wavelength and intensity are physical factors that can affect arthropod development
and reproduction. The present study examined the development, reproduction and …

Insect behaviors are often influenced by light conditions including photoperiod, light
intensity, and wavelength. Understanding pest insect responses to changing light conditions …

The influence of three photoperiods, viz. short day [8: 16 h; light: dark (L: D)], long day (16: 8
h; L: D) and continuous light (24: 0 h; L: D) and four wavelengths of light, viz. white (control) …

Single crops become a centre for the attack from arthropod pests. Aphids, thrips, whiteflies,
coccids and mites are pests, tiny sap-sucking arthropods having a high infestation rate, due …

Simple Summary The study of blue light stress and the response mechanism in insects
helps in the prediction of the harm to human health from blue light and in the control of pests …

An extensive literature is available on the photoperiodic responses of avian species but
studies on light colour and wavelength from light emitting diode (LED) sources on …

Ladybird beetles present as key predator of many agricultural pests. Among them, Eriopis
connexa stands out due some important traits for pest management programs such as …
