How fungi improve their ability to infect insects

2026-07-14T22:15:26-00:00

Sustainable plant protection measures that are not based on chemical pesticides rely on various organisms and biological agents to protect crops from pests. Such organisms used for biological plant protection are, for example, microscopic fungi of the genus Metarhizium, which can attack and kill a variety of plant-pathogenic insects and are used, for example, in South American sugar cane cultivation.

The molecular mechanisms of fungal infection and the immune response of insects are in an ongoing process of mutual evolutionary adaptation. In a joint project with colleagues from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), a research team from Kiel University investigated the genetic changes in the fungus during infection of the invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile).

The researchers examined the genomes of different strains of the fungi Metarhizium robertsii and Metarhizium brunneum from an earlier co-infection experiment in which ants had been infected with the fungus mix. In this study, the outgrowing spores were used to infect new ants over ten consecutive infection cycles….read more download PDF.

It is great to be able to report some good news, and the latest evaluation of the RTS.S malaria vaccine confirms it is saving the lives of young children in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi. And the additional health visits associated with the four-dose vaccine also allow for the delivery of other childhood vaccines.

CABI and Uganda are getting together under a Host Country Agreement to transform the country’s agriculture and particularly phytosanitary issues while the FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, has launched a five-year Coordinated Research Project (CRP) to strengthen plant health preparedness using nuclear and related technologies. On the bad news scales, we hear that the global fertiliser scarcity caused by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz will lead to lower yields and tightening food supplies in the latter half of 2026 and into 2027.

The silverfish, scourge of kitchens and bathrooms – anywhere damp and warm – is our Pest of the Issue.

Company News covers SugaROx, BASF, PelGar, Koppert, Biobest and Syngenta with a mix of new investments, plant, team members, CEOs, packaging and a new herbicide as well as a new approval for pine weevil control.
In our Special Features section we look at Invasive Pests and Vectors of Disease with contributions on cockroach control from one of our Technical Consultants, David Liszka of BioLogical; managing phytosanitary threat from Dr Emilia Mikulewicz of Cultiva EcoSolutions; malaria vector control from Russell IPM as well as the Directorate of Health Services, The Gambia; managing the spread of spotted lantern fly in the US; toad proofing Australian farms and we finish with the scary idea that the spread of non-native wildlife can also spread pathogens of both veterinary and zoonotic importance.

In Public Health we look at a new compound that acts against Plasmodium vivax, the predominant malaria species in Brazil, during three phases of the disease cycle, eliminating the asexual form of the parasite from human blood and liver, and preventing transmission to mosquitoes. We also report on ticks in New York State, USA and the ability of mosquitos to smell danger.

In agriculture we report that the mapping of rice stink bugs at a genetic level is being used to improve the control of a pest that costs American rice farmers $millions in lost production. What is a “green pesticide”: a team of Brazilian researchers have tried to answer that question with a focus on the use of nanotechnology. Avoiding stream pollution is important and recent research at Penn State has found that some pesticides can avoid anti-pollution structures. We finish with a look at the use of predatory nematodes to reduce the impact of root-knot nematodes on bananas in Guam.

Not having any soil is not a problem for lettuce growers in southern Grenada according to the recent FAO report. In a climate adaptation project, family farmers have set up a low-cost hydroponic system. The simple way to control broomrape is to clean your equipment and in particular field equipment removing mud, soil, plant material or anything that can collect and carry broomrape seeds.

IPC Technical Consultant Dr Terry Mabbett reviews the current situation regarding the Sweet chestnut blight outbreak in Devon, UK. We hear from a team at Purdue University on how a vaccine might be used to control the fertility of feral horses as well as deer and swine and look at the search for cost effective pinewood nematode control and the impact of fast-growing non-native trees on biodiversity.

Finally, we conclude with a flurry of Animal Health articles on a bird flu vaccine, bird flu risk in cattle, swine fever spread in Nepal, and the use of air sampling to detect viruses.

In the next issue the Special Feature will be all about Developments in Glasshouse Pest Control – as ever your contributions would be most welcome!

In this issue – largely put together by our new Deputy Editor – we report on a significant new UK grant for precision breeding to develop more sustainable crops, and funding to better understand disease in rice and to look at novel RNAi fungicides. Conventional pesticides are yet again in the spotlight, this time for affecting soil life and diversity while in the USA Dicamba has been approved for over-the-top application to control super-weeds in cotton and soybean.

Pest of the issue is the carpet beetle, the scourge of anyone whose home is full of natural fibres. Our resident expert Alex Wade explains their lifecycle and how best to control them.

The second part of our coverage of November 2025’s BCPC meeting on the “Shape of Future Crop Production” is to be found in this issue with the morning’s topics covering “Current & Future Strategies”, policy as a driver of Plant Breeding Innovation, Next Generation products: RNAi, secondary metabolites, proteins and peptides. In the afternoon the focus was on PPPs and their usage, and updates on both UK Pesticides Policy and regulation changes in the UK.

Internationally we have the Global Public Health Summit in Hong Kong to look forward to in June and Pestworld 2026 in Texas. More locally the NPTA has joined the UK government Trustmark scheme aimed at giving householders confidence in trades, and BPCA have launched a new careers hub for pest controllers.

Company news is the usual mix of innovation, partnership, acquisition and appointments with Koppert, BASF, Certis Belchim, Bayer, 1env Solutions, Syngentia, Andermatt, and Nichino all making contributions.

Our Special Feature this issue is Control of Vertebrate Pests. If past performance had been anything to go by it would have been all about rodents: instead we have deer pest problems, red squirrels as a vector of disease, bats infecting pigs with a diarrhoea causing bacteria, and remote sensing the population of fossorial water vole – a major pest of pastures and crops. And then we have the use of lynx scent to change deer behaviour in the forests of eastern Germany.

Water is kryptonite, but only if you are a bed bug, as while bugs avoid moisture – even blood – Brazilian mosquitoes can’t get enough of human blood and with their normal habitat, the Atlantic forest, dwindling, we’re in the firing line: not good for yellow fever, dengue, Zika, Mayaro, Sabiá, and chikungunya. Meanwhile in the search for means to control dengue “silent infections” may hold a clue.

Field-evolved resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, is undermining the effectiveness of corn that targets root worms with the combination of Bt and RNA interference. Other topics under Agriculture include a gene that could triple wheat production, genes that control wheat height and grain size, and bats that eat agricultural pests (when they are not spreading porcine diarrhoea!).

In Horticulture we look at the control of the fungal foes of perfect turf grass, the lifecycle of thrips and biostimulant trials in greenhouses. Banana wilt makes another appearance in Forestry and Plantation where we also look at the impact of wildfires on forest soils, the way a fungus can turn the tables on bark beetles, how nitrogen is key to forest regrowth and how almond anthracnose may be suppressed by fungi within the almond trees’ own biome.

The giant Asian mantis is making its way into Europe as the climate becomes more favourable to its lifecycle and the way to cutting European agriculture’s climate emissions by 40% is described by a Norwegian University. Meanwhile, we can look forward to worse droughts even as rainfall increases.

In the next issue, Invasive Pests & Vectors of Disease is the topic for our special feature – all contributions welcome!

Company Profile…Insect Science®: Semiochemical strategies for pest control

2026-02-18T23:05:16-00:00

For 25 years, Insect Science® has been at the forefront of South Africa’s semiochemical industry, delivering science-driven, Responsible Pest Management® solutions for commercial agriculture. Headquartered in Tzaneen and supported by a satellite office in Paarl, Insect Science specialises in helping farmers manage pests using nature’s own communication signals. This reduces growers’ reliance on conventional crop sprays and strengthens integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

Insect Science was built around a simple but ambitious idea: use insect behaviour to protect crops more intelligently. Today, that idea has grown into a full in-house ecosystem of research, product development, manufacturing, and farmer training that supplies growers across South Africa and beyond.

From field to finished product

Insect Science’s strength lies not in a single breakthrough, but in the full scientific chain that lies behind every product. The process begins in the field, where the technical team works closely with farmers to identify economically important pests and understand the pressures growers face in real orchards and fields.

Back at headquarters, the research journey moves into advanced analytical chemistry. Using a GC-EAD instrument (where an insect antenna is connected to an electro-antennogram detector) Insect Science’s analytical chemist identifies the semiochemical compounds that insects naturally respond to. These chemical cues form the blueprint for new pheromones and attractants.

Once identified, our synthetic chemist reproduces these compounds for consistent use in lures, traps, and control technologies. Every new formulation undergoes multiple field trials across different regions, generating robust, real-world data before any product is submitted for regulatory approval. Only after registration does manufacturing move into full-scale production. This is all done in-house to ensure quality, traceability, and reliability.

This end-to-end capability is rare in the global semiochemical sector, and it ensures that farmers receive tools that are not only scientifically validated but also practical and effective under local conditions.

A leading range of monitoring and control solutions

Insect Science® is well known for its extensive range of lures – the backbone of its monitoring technologies – but its innovation extends beyond monitoring tools to include effective pest management solutions based on disruption or attraction methods.

X-Mate® Mating disruption

X-Mate® C.G.O. for citrus flower moth management applied in a lemon orchard. Photo: Insect Science®

A species-specific control method that disperses a high concentration of synthetic pheromone into the orchard, causing non-competitive mating disruption leading to disorientated male moths so they cannot locate females.

Last Call Attract-and-kill

This precision method uses a species-specific semiochemical attractant combined with a small amount of contact insecticide to lure the target insect and eliminate it upon contact.

These products are not applied directly to the edible crop, nor is it systemic in nature, leaving no residue on harvested fruit. They are rain-fast and, being species-specific, do not harm beneficial insects. This makes them easy to integrate into IPM programmes for sustainable pest control.

These technologies form a crucial part of Responsible Pest Management®, allowing farmers to reduce chemical use without compromising crop protection.

Serving diverse high-value crop sectors

Across citrus, avocado, table grapes, berries, macadamia nuts, stone fruit, tomatoes, roses, grains and more, Insect Science provides tailored semiochemical tools backed by technical guidance and field support.

Originally known for its specialisation in moth pheromones, Insect Science has broadened its research horizon. Its recent identification of the attractant for the macadamia felted coccid (Eriococcus ironsidei) marks a significant step into the complex world of sucking insects – a direction that will shape many of its future innovations.

Quality, responsibility, and industry leadership

Insect Science follows rigorous quality standards and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, ensuring consistency across research, production, and product support. The company is committed to continuous improvement, constantly refining its processes to enhance reliability, efficiency, and customer value. Insect Science is also an active member of the South African Bioproduct Organisation (SABO) and CropLife South Africa, contributing to national industry standards and promoting responsible use of biological and semiochemical products.

In 2025, Insect Science was named Koppert’s preferred semiochemical supplier globally, strengthening international collaboration and reinforcing its reputation as a trusted industry leader.

Collaboration as a catalyst for innovation

Insect Science’s strength lies in its collective expertise. Scientists, applied entomologists, chemists, product developers, and manufacturing teams work side-by-side – an integrated structure that speeds up innovation and ensures that technologies are grounded in both scientific accuracy and agricultural practicality.

This collaborative model extends beyond Insect Science itself. Insect Science actively seeks partnerships with organisations, distributors, and research groups that share its commitment to responsible agriculture.

As demand grows for residue-free, sustainable pest management solutions, Insect Science is expanding its reach. Insect Science already serves multiple African countries and is advancing registration and partnership projects in Brazil, Türkiye, Egypt, Spain, and Morocco.

With Responsible Pest Management® as its guiding vision, Insect Science aims to shape a future where growers can protect crops more effectively while preserving the ecological balance that agriculture depends on.

From foundational research to final application, Insect Science continues to prove that the smallest chemical signals can lead to some of the biggest advances in sustainable farming.

As if chemical pesticides are not under enough pressure, a team led by the University of Cambridge tested the effect of 1,076 chemical food contaminants including herbicides and insecticides on 22 species of gut bacteria. 168 were found to be toxic and the data is now being used to predict if industrial chemicals will be harmful to human gut bacteria.

On the plus side, Sustainable Crop Management (SPM) would have positive effects across the globe and, according to Production Economics Group at the University of Bonn, the key will be supporting farmers during this transformation by offering them effective alternatives for crop protection.

Monsanto is a step closer to the US Supreme Court establishing if companies, having complied with federal warning label requirements, should be punished under state laws. This is a general principle that will apply to a wide range of products, not solely glyphosate.

The Special Feature this issue is about the impact of climate change on our industry and an early entry on the topic is the news that IFAD and GEF have announced climate resilience investments. Our Pest of the Issue is the Cluster Fly – more of a nuisance than harmful pest – but still one that must be controlled.

The BCPC Congress is a regular winter feature: we cover the first day in this issue with day 2 appearing in the next issue. So many topics: hopefully some are of interest! Lots of conferences are coming up in 2026 covering topics as wide as Photosynthesis and Bystander Exposure.

We have plentiful news from the industry, many are regulars in this section: Koppert, Bayer, BASF, ADAMA, Syngenta, Tyro Group, WUR, Amoéba, M2i, Noble Seeds and as usual it is all about new products, partnerships and acquisitions.

The subject of our company profile is South African company Insect Science®. Deeply involved in the semiochemical market, from foundational research to final application, Insect Science aims to prove that the smallest chemical signals can lead to big advances in sustainable farming.

So to the climate change special feature: we have ten articles for you with topics ranging from the enhanced spread of vectors of disease to the adaptation of crops and trees. We’re also seeing the negative impacts of climate change with failed or poor harvests which may mean more expensive food for you and me but poverty for some farmers. Even the nutritional value of crops can be changed – inevitably for the worse. All ten articles are supported by peer reviewed papers and there were many more contending for space.

We have a fascinating introduction to the complexities of EFSA’s revised birds and mammals guidance provided by Jennifer Duncan of Sagentia Regulatory. We look at virus interactions, a metabolic model for potatoes that could lead to increased yield and less pesticide use, a wheat crop that can make its own fertiliser and more nutritious rice made with less fertiliser.

Our own Terry Mabbet finalises his four-part look at OPM in the UK and the impact on insects and birds. Then we move from oaks to cacao, on to citrus, back to chocolate – and this time coffee too. We finish with a piece on how conifers fight their enemies. We end with our 2025 index.

We have a new selection of Special Features for 2026 – if you or your organisation want to write an article for any of them just let me know. Finally, you might notice we have a new team member, Deputy Editor Maria Elisa Leandro. She will hopefully be taking over some of the work from me for future issues and we will have a full introduction in the next issue. New to our Technical Consultant team is Raja Mahandran and we look forward to his contributions.

The vectors of multiple diseases including dengue, chikungunya and Zika, posing a public health risk to populations, have now been detected in Southern England, another benefit of global warming: “Send not to know for whom the bell tolls…” And global food
systems will need a major overhaul if we are to mitigate climate change, stop biodiversity loss and avert a crisis, according to a paper recently published in Nature. Hopefully AI, biotech and the kind of investment the James Hutton Institute has received can help. And if you have any stinky socks, consider their research potential before putting them in the wash – according to Sightsavers they have their uses.

Our pest of the issue is the booklouse, the bane of historic libraries but best controlled using environmental factors – especially humidity. We report on an upcoming conference on Fungicides, the 2025 Global Pest Management Conference in Lagos and Pestworld 2025.

In company news its once again the merry-go-round of mergers, acquisitions, upgrades and new products. Insect Science has made it to Koppert’s preferred supplier, Biobest has upgraded its Side Effects app to display the impact of a product on beneficials, camera technology has been integrated at Microshare and Tactacam, and Rentokil has won Innovation of the Year with its AI powered pest monitoring and identification tool. Biofirst Group has launched Bioworks in Europe, Syngenta is using AI to identify the best vegetable varieties for a grower’s situation, Babolna Bio is celebrating 60 years, Groupe Berkem has launched its first biosolution for the agricultural sector and BASF has expanded access to its field management tool.

In our special feature section on Biocontrol and IPM we report on the “New IPM 2025” conference in Swansea, UK. We look at the integration of sticky traps into IPM, how a parasitoid could save the box, how in Vietnam IPHM (integrated plant health management) has boosted yields by 10% while cutting pesticide use by 40%, the possible role of the Manchurian walnut tree in pest control and, last but not least, how CO2 and nitrogen management can control IPM costs.

In public health we look at the evolution of malaria vectors in response to control efforts, how a drug can kill mosquitoes, mosquito hot spots in Brazil, neglected tropical diseases and how worker’s gut bacteria are impacted by pesticide application.

In Agriculture cassava witches’ broom is a problem to be tackled, dicamba damage in soya can now be assessed by satellite, a genetic discovery could lead to peanut varieties better suited to a warmer planet, and regen agriculture gets the thumbs up from CABI. A new variety of tomato rootstock resistant to root-knot nematodes is impressing farmers and giving them the confidence to bring back organic tomatoes.

In Forestry we have part 3 of Dr Terry Mabbett’s series on OPM, we look at how Norway spruce needs protection from insects and fungi, the resurgence of the Yellowstone aspen, British ash woodland fighting back against ash dieback, and how tree mixes can enhance forestry growth.

Also in this issue is our plan of Special Features for 2026 so if you have an interest in contributing to any of the topics do contact me – we like articles to be a multiple of 600 words (one page) up to a maximum of 2,400 words. No advertorial, just good science about your products or about a paper you have recently published that has practical implications for pest control in its widest sense.

Company Profile…ENDURA S.p.A: 45 years of innovation, growth, and a vision for the future

2025-10-13T14:24:47-00:00

Endura Plant, The Chemical Hub, Ravenna (Italy).

Endura has marked a pivotal moment in its history with four major milestones: the inauguration of its state-of-the-art headquarters, the celebration of its 45th anniversary, the launch of its new PBO Prime product and the unveiling of a new website. These achievements signify Endura’s continued evolution, redefining industry standards through quality, responsibility, and innovation.

Innovation and growth

Endura’s new headquarters is not just a larger, more modern facility, it has been intentionally designed to enhance team synergy, drive innovation, and optimise processes.

“Our new headquarters is a strategic foundation that will allow us to better serve our clients and partners while strengthening our leadership position in the industry,” says Marianna Vollaro, CEO of Endura S.p.A. “We have created a dynamic environment where collaboration, research, and sustainability shape every decision.”

Located in Bologna (Italy), this advanced facility reflects Endura’s core values: operational efficiency, technological innovation, and environmental responsibility. Through targeted investments, Endura continues to expand its production capacity, ensuring high-quality solutions for clients worldwide.

45 years of leadership

In 2025, Endura proudly celebrates 45 years of excellence in pest control.

Marianna Vollaro, CEO of Endura

“Marking 45 years is a tribute to our journey of growth, dedication, and commitment to serving our clients and employees. We embody the ‘Made in Italy’ tradition, combining craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to deliver outstanding solutions,,” says Vollaro.

Since its inception, Endura has excelled in regulatory compliance, technical advancements, logistics, and customer service. Its highly skilled team remains the backbone of the company, ensuring that every product upholds the highest standards of quality and ethics.

Looking ahead, Endura remains committed to driving innovation, with a focus on developing sustainable solutions for a safer, healthier environment. This anniversary is not just a reflection of past achievements but a promise for the next 45 years of excellence and industry leadership.

Fine chemicals with sustainability in mind

Endura is pleased to announce the launch of Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) Prime, a milestone innovation introduced in celebration of the company’s 45th anniversary. PBO PRIME is a premium, high-grade synergist, it has the world’s lowest levels of the impurities dipiperonyl ether (DPE) and dipiperonyl methane (DPM), well below the threshold for potential classification as persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) and/or very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB).

PBT and vPvB classifications are based on the properties of the active substance and on the presence, over certain thresholds, of impurities classified as PBT and vPvB. While PBO itself is not a PBT nor a vPvB substance, the two potential impurities in PBO, DPM and DPE, could fulfill PBT and vPvB criteria. If confirmed to be PBT and vPvB, these two impurities when present in PBO at levels above the CLP threshold could result in the classification of the PBO and/or any biocidal products containing the PBO, as PBT or vPvB. PBO Prime is also fully compliant with the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) approval of PBO.

In 1999, Endura launched the world’s first synthetic production of PBO through an environmentally friendly and sustainable process developed to avoid Sassafras tree deforestation. PBO had been historically produced from safrole, a component of sassafras oil obtained from the tree by a destructive process that is reported as requiring about 70 kg of sassafras wood to make only 1 kg of PBO.

Now thanks to its new distillation process (patent pending), Endura has taken another step towards a more sustainable future by reducing the environmental impact of PBO thanks to achieving the minimum amounts of DPE and DPM, both of which could be classified as PBT or vPvB impurities.

“We push the boundaries of knowledge and smart solutions through continuous improvement of PBO. Committed to responsible care and
sustainability, we shape a future where innovation empowers and simplifies lives – always with a strong customer focus,” explained Vollaro.

A trusted partner in pest control chemistry

In 2025, Endura also unveiled a completely redesigned website (www.endura.it) a milestone that reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer engagement. Designed for clarity, usability, and accessibility, the new platform enables more intuitive navigation and deeper insight into the breadth of Endura’s capabilities.

“Digitalisation is a key component of our growth strategy. Our new website enhances communication, making it clearer and more accessible, ensuring our customers have an experience that reflects our high standards,” says Vollaro.

A standout feature of the new platform is the Academy – a dedicated blog where Endura shares expert articles and regulatory insights. Curated by its team of specialists, the section empowers clients with practical knowledge to support smarter, more informed business decisions. The refreshed site serves as more than a digital storefront: it is a strategic tool that supports transparency, technical education, and collaboration across the pest control and biocidal product value chains.

The updated platform strengthens Endura’s commitment to transparency and knowledge sharing, further cementing its position as an industry leader. This digital transformation aligns with Endura’s broader mission: to deliver not just fine chemicals, but complete, science-backed solutions tailored to the unique regulatory and operational needs of clients worldwide.

A legacy of excellence: the history of Endura S.p.A.

The history of Endura is relatively recent, having been established in 1980, but its origins date back to the 1950s when Antonio Tozzi first cofounded Sariaf, an agro-chemical business in Faenza, Italy, then in 1958 Industria Chimica Tozzi in Idice (BO), Italy, where the first Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) was produced, and finally in 1966 Chimosa in Pontecchio Marconi (BO), Italy. From Chimosa – which was acquired by Ciba-Geigy in 1979 – Endura was born, operating in the sector of active and synergistic ingredients for insecticides.

Chimosa, in addition to antioxidants and UV stabilisers for plastics, produced Piperonyl butoxide (PBO), which is the main synergistic compound for insecticides. Subsequently, in 1979, the production of Tetramethrin (TTM), a synthetic pyrethroid, was added. Both products, PBO and TTM, are significant in the insecticide industry for pest control in household, professional and agricultural environments.

Endura celebrates 45 years.

In 1999, the Endura plant at the Chemical Hub of Ravenna, Italy was set up on a greenfield site, to produce Piperonyl butoxide (PBO), shifting from natural to synthetic production, reducing deforestation and improving capacity.

Today, Endura continues to shape the future of the pest control industry by delivering integrated, science-backed solutions that combine regulatory expertise, technical innovation, and customer-centric service on a global scale.

The Human Genome Project took 13 years from launch to completion and cost an estimated $2.7 billion. Now, using massively parallel sequencing, the task can be completed in just hours: my friendly AI says the record is 7.5 hours although more normally it takes weeks. Now gene sequencing is used in all parts of our industry from plants to pests. Temperature-sensitive lethality (tsl) mutation has been used since the 1980s to kill female fruit flies at the embryonic stage and produce sterile males at an industrial scale. But only now has the single point mutation responsible for tsl been identified. It occurs in a gene found in many other insect species which opens the door to its use in highly specific control strategies for other pest species.

Technology use in pest control is also a growing sector. CABI’s BioProtection Portal, the development of which we have reported on several times over the past few years, has won them a Gold Stevie Award. In the US, wheat disease has been shown to be responsible for the loss of 560 million bushels of wheat (about 15.24 million tonnes) costing $2.9 billion. Fusarium head blight, stripe rust, and leaf rust emerged as the top three yield-reducing pathogens.

In Europe new records are being set, but not good ones, with longer, more intense transmission seasons for mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus infection and chikungunya virus disease. Longer summers, milder winters and changes in rainfall are all contributing to mosquitoes extending their range and increasing disease pressure on Europeans.

The news section concludes with the discovery that potatoes are just tomatoes with big roots. The potato is apparently a hybrid between the tomato and Etuberosum which shared a common ancestor with the tomato 14 million years ago and was able to interbreed nine million years ago.

Pest of the Issue is the common house mosquito Culex pipiens, a carrier of West Nile virus amongst other diseases.

In Association & Society News we report on the launch of the Pest Management Industry Sustainability Guidelines and the programme for the AAB’s International Advances in Pesticide Application (IAPA) 2026.

Company News follows its well-established pattern of new product launches, including new tomato varieties from Bayer and on-farm forage analysis, acquisitions (Biobest), investments (Koppert), developments in AI, expanding partnerships and the adoption of “sustainable” wood treatments. We also have two companies publishing their Sustainability Reports.

This issue carries a company profile: Endura, a manufacture of Piperonyl butoxide, with origins dating back to the 1950s, is celebrating 45 years in the business of manufacturing fine chemicals for the pest control industry.

Our Special Feature on Advances in Application Technology, has contributions from Dr Partho Dhang (one of our Technical Consultants) and John Clayton of Micron Sprayers plus articles about precision dispensing of biocontrol agents, electric weed control and drones.

Public Health features mossies (they have very variable feeding preferences) and viruses (a vaccine for Nipah virus, which affects both pigs and humans). We also have an in-depth article on Wolbachia-based dengue control.

Unravelling the mechanism by which the large and economically important group of core eudicots produces indole could lead to targeted breeding of plants more attractive to pollinators and less susceptible to pathogens and pests according to researchers at the Max Planck Institute. Regenerative agriculture – something we haven’t paid much attention to previously – is the subject of an article looking at the use of biostimulants from Pedro Cabanita of Certis Belchim.

The timber industry is struggling to find a safe fumigant that isn’t a potent greenhouse gas, but which can be used to control the spread of invasive pests which have led to tree mortality worldwide costing an estimated $669 billion in losses. Dr Matt Hall considers the options. Our own Dr Terry Mabbett continues his three-part series on Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) with a look at pesticide spraying and the failure to control the spread of the pest in the UK.

Finally, we look at the impact of climate change on arsenic levels in rice and global crop yields – neither are positive for farmers and consumers. So that’s cheered everyone up!

Our next special feature is on Biocontrol and IPM so if you can contribute let us know! Articles come in multiples of about 600 words up to a maximum of 2,400, supported by high quality images (needed for print) and/or tables and charts.
