  1. 1. Pheromone-based mating disruption to control Spodoptera frugiperda in Tanzania: Possibilites and Constraints for smallholders

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Thomas O'Malley; [2024]
    Keywords : pheromone; mating disruption; fall armyworm; Tanzania; smallholder; Spodeptera frugiperda; integrated pest; management;

    Abstract : Despite a growing interest in the use of pheromones as a more sustainable form of pest control, their use remains unstudied in the smallholder context. This paper is one of the first to study their use by small scale Tanzanian maize farmers to control the invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (known as fall armyworm). READ MORE

Syntetiska feromoner, vilket är syntetiskt framställda versioner av kattens naturliga feromoner, är en typ av stressreducerande åtgärd som vuxit i popularitet de senaste åren. READ MORE

  5. 4. Training dogs to indicate synthetic pheromones from Plagionotus detritus, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae to detect living beetles

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Matilda Apelqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : Detection dog; indicate synthetic pheromone; coleoptera; conservation biology; endangered species;

    Abstract : Using dogs to detect insects’ emitted volatiles is a non-invasive procedure, and a trained detection dog is potentially a fast and accurate method to search for saproxylic insects. The longhorn beetle Plagionotus detritus is categorized as Endangered in the Swedish Red List of Threatened Species. READ MORE

  6. 5. Implementation of Scheimpflug Lidar for Entomological Monitoring of Bark Beetles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Jonathan Peterson; [2020]
    Keywords : Scheimpflug Lidar; Lidar; Bark beetles; Forestry; Entomological monitoring; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Bark beetles are responsible for great damages to Swedish forestry every year. This project focuses on a method of entomological lidar called Scheimpflug lidar to detect and monitor bark beetles. Scheimpflug lidar uses old techniques from photography to achieve a deep field of focus to resolve objects over long distances. READ MORE
