Assessing Integrated Pest Management Adoption: Measurement Problems and Policy Implications

Environmental Management, 48(5), 1013–1023.

By: M. Puente n , N. Darnall * & R. Forkner *

author keywords: Integrated pest management; Environmental decision making; Sustainable agriculture; Components of adoption; Assistance programs; Ecosystem management
MeSH headings : Agriculture / economics; Agriculture / legislation & jurisprudence; Agriculture / methods; Animals; Decision Making; Ecosystem; Insect Control / economics; Insect Control / legislation & jurisprudence; Insect Control / methods; Pest Control / economics; Pest Control / legislation & jurisprudence; Pest Control / methods; Policy Making; Risk Assessment / methods
TL;DR: Assessing the components of IPM adoption and comparing the method to the traditional approach alone suggest that there are four distinct components of adoption and that growers implement the first two components significantly more often than the latter two. (via Semantic Scholar)

2008 journal article

Impact of Herbivore-induced Plant Volatiles on Parasitoid Foraging Success: A Spatial Simulation of the Cotesia rubecula, Pieris rapae, and Brassica oleracea System

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 34(7), 959–970.

By: M. Puente n , K. Magori n, G. Kennedy n  & F. Gould n 

author keywords: tritrophic interactions; herbivore-induced plant volatiles; parasitoid behavior; signal utility; spatial simulation model
MeSH headings : Animals; Brassica / parasitology; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Female; Hymenoptera / growth & development; Hymenoptera / physiology; Larva / physiology; Lepidoptera / growth & development; Lepidoptera / physiology; Models, Biological
TL;DR: Under the most likely natural conditions, the model predicts that C. rubecula gains fitness from following plant cues, and in most of the parameter combinations studied, parasitoids that responded to cues attacked more hosts than those that foraged randomly. (via Semantic Scholar)

The Impact of Herbivore-Induced Plant Volatiles on Parasitoid Foraging Success: A General Deterministic Model

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 34(7), 945–958.

By: M. Puente n , G. Kennedy n  & F. Gould n 

author keywords: herbivore-induced plant volatiles; tritrophic interactions; parasitoid behavior; deterministic model; signal utility; Heliothis virescens; Pieris rapae
MeSH headings : Animals; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Host-Parasite Interactions; Lepidoptera / physiology; Models, Biological; Oviposition; Plants / chemistry; Plants / metabolism; Plants / parasitology; Time Factors; Volatilization
TL;DR: A general model is developed to begin examining how timing of volatile release in relationship to host availability for parasitization impacts the utility of these cues to parasitoids and on the extent that this volatile release timing might increase or decrease the percent of herbivores that become parasitized.
