The brown planthopper (BPH) is a major rice pest in Asia, with the most severe damage occurring at the adult stage in rice. Although breeding resistant varieties is key to pest control, current screening focuses mainly on seedlings using destructive,...
During rice cultivation, common rice diseases and pests such as Rice blast, Bacterial blight, Brown-planthopper and Leaf-folder will significantly affect the yield and quality. The current model is limited to detecting rice diseases or pests alone, a...
Rice planthoppers are the most economically important insect pests of rice in Asia. Traditional surveys to examine their abundance and composition in paddy fields involve human visual inspection, which requires considerable time and effort by expert ...

The corn leafhopper (CL), Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), has become the most important corn pest in Brazil and other corn-producing countries. This highly efficient insect vector transmits corn stunting pathogens result...
This study addresses the challenge of predicting Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) density in cornfields by developing an artificial neural network (ANN). Over two years, we collected data on meteorological variables (atmos...
While insect monitoring is a prerequisite for precise decision-making regarding integrated pest management (IPM), it is time- and cost-intensive. Low-cost, time-saving and easy-to-operate tools for automated monitoring will therefore play a key role ...
With the increasing competitiveness in the vine market, coupled with the increasing need for sustainable use of resources, strategies for improving farm management are essential. One such effective strategy is the implementation of precision agricult...

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), a globally invasive species complex that causes serious damage to field crops, has developed resistance to imidacloprid and many other pesticides. Insect detoxify to pesticides may partially depend...
Chagas disease is one of the main parasitic diseases found in Latin America and it is estimated that between six and seven million people are infected worldwide. Its etiologic agent, the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted by triatomines, som...
The highly efficient and agile water-surface locomotion of water striders has attracted substantial research attention. Compared with imitating the horizontal rowing motion, imitating the jumping capability of water striders is much more challenging ...
