A well-known strategy for managing pest resistance is application of mixture of pesticides. Conventionally formulated pesticides have several environmental incompatibilities. The use of biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarriers in formulating pesticides could improve environmental protection. In this study, a mixture of imidacloprid and lambda-c...

Nanotechnology is a new approach for the production of particles with unique features at the nanoscale dimensions. Among the various routes available for the synthesis of these nanoparticles, biogenic synthesis is a simple, low-cost, and eco-friendly method. The biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles is provided by various natural sources including pla...

The aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is one of the most economically important plant pests worldwide. Excessive use of chemical pesticides to control this pest affects its successful management. In this study, we used a novel technology to improve insecticide efficacy while reducing doses through the combination of insecticides. Therefore, the joint a...

Insects are one of the most abundant animal species, some of which can harm human and animal health and damage crops and food supplies. Insecticides are a group of chemical or biological compounds used to kill insects. Nanotechnology is a new approach that can improve the characteristics of insecticides by producing nanoscale particles. Insecticide...

In the present study, we used RAPD marker, COI gene sequence and RFLP analysis to investigate the genetic variation of 11 Pulvinaria aurantii Cockerell populations from different regions in northern Iran. The twenty-one RAPD primers generated 834 amplification products, of which 702 (84.17%) bands were polymorphic. The genotypic similarity of the p...

This review provides data of C. fimbriata disease by focusing on the emerging pathogen on different hosts with diverse symptoms. Based on the literature until 2022, C. fimbriata was recorded from 74 species, 55 genera and 35 families in 46 countries on all continents. The known hosts are all angiosperms. Colocasia esculenta, Ipomoea batatas, Theobr...

Vegetable leaf miner, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is one of the most economically important pests of agricultural products, including vegetables and ornamentals. The larvae feed on leaf mesophyll and reduce photosynthesis and yield. Identifying more effective insecticides and choosing the suitable treatment method can be ver...

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, is one of the most economically important plant pests worldwide. There are a number of factors that have made this species a serious pest, including its extensive distribution, broad host range, high reproductive capacity and transmission of viruses. The excessive use of chemical pesticides to control t...

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, is one of the most important plant pests worldwide. Excessive use of chemical pesticides to control this pest has resulted in resistance of this insect to several groups of insecticides. One of the tactics to overcome or delay development of resistance is the use of mixtures of pesticides. In this resea...

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is the most important microbial agent for biological control of insect pests of agricultural crops and forest plant. Effective control of these pests mostly relies on finding and practical application of native Bt isolates. In this study, 160 soil samples belong to various ecological area of Mazandaran province (forest,...

Native Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains were isolated from forest soils samples of different regions in Mazandaran province and some encoding genes (Cry1) for insecticidal crystal proteins were detected in the isolated Bt strains. A total of one hundred forty four Bacillus strains were isolated from 32 soil samples using selective inhibitory pro...

Native isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis were obtained from soil samples of various ecosystems in Mazandaran province and Cry1, the insecticidal protein-encoding gene, was detected in the isolates. About 491 bacilliform isolates were obtained from 128 soil samples through sodium acetate inhibition procedure. Two hundred ninety one spore-forming, 8...
