Weighing consequences of action and inaction in invasive insect management
Tritrophic defenses as a central pivot of low-emission, pest-suppressive farming systems
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the intricate connections between human and planetary health. Given that pesticide-centered crop protection degrades ecological resilience and (in-)directly harms human health, the adoption of ecologically sound, biodiversity-driven alternatives is imperative. In this Synthesis paper, we illuminate how ecological forces can be manipulated to bolster 'tritrophic defenses' against crop pests, pathogens,…

Neonicotinoids in global agriculture
Bakker, L., W. Van der Werf, P. Tittonell, K. A. G. Wyckhuys, and F. J. J. A. Bianchi. 2020. Neonicotinoids in global agriculture: evidence for a new pesticide treadmill? Ecology and Society 25(3):26. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-11814-250326
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna
Ecological illiteracy can deepen farmers’ pesticide dependency
Nearly 2.5 billion smallholders cultivate the world’s arable land, strategically positioned to tackle multiple Anthropocene challenges. When consciously adopting ecologically-based pest management practices, they can improve resource use efficiency, slow biodiversity loss, curtail environmental pollution and safeguard human health. Yet, the effective implementation of knowledge-intensive management practices requires underlying ecological concept…
Biological control of an invasive pest eases pressures on global commodity markets
In an increasingly globalized world, invasive species cause major human, financial, and environmental costs. A cosmopolitan pest of great concern is the cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), which invaded Asia in 2008. Following its arrival, P. manihoti inflicted measurable yield losses and a 27% drop in aggregate cassava production in Thailand. As Thailand is a vital exporter of cassava-derived commodities to China a…
Sustainability aspects of vegetable production in the peri-urban environment of Bogotá, Colombia
Although the peri-urban region around Bogotá, Colombia contains a diversified horticulture sector, local vegetable production suffers from a critical lack of research and availability of un-biased, scientifically validated information on crop management. In this study, we identify current trends and deficiencies in fertilisation and pest management for local vegetable production. We relate pesticide type with target pests, evaluate temporal patte…
