Article Abstract
The soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a primary pest of soybeans and poses a serious threat to soybean production. Our studies were conducted to understand the effects of different concentrations of insecticides (imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) on A. glycines and provided critical information for its effective management. Here, we found that the mean generation time and adult and total pre-nymphiposition periods of the LC50 imidacloprid- and thiamethoxam-treatment groups were significantly longer than those of the control group, although the adult pre-nymphiposition period in LC30 imidacloprid and thiamethoxam treatment groups was significantly shorter than that of the control group. Additionally, the mean fecundity per female adult, net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, and finite rate of increase of the LC30 imidacloprid-treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group and higher than those of the LC50 imidacloprid-treatment group (P < 0.05). Moreover, both insecticides exerted stress effects on A. glycines, and specimens treated with the two insecticides at the LC50 showed a significant decrease in their growth rates relative to those treated with the insecticides at LC30. These results provide a reference for exploring the effects of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam on A. glycines population dynamics in the field and offer insight to agricultural producers on the potential of low-lethal concentrations of insecticides to stimulate insect reproduction during insecticide application.

Collateral damage of neonicotinoid insecticides: Unintended effects on gut microbiota of non-target organisms.

Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are widely used insecticides known for their effectiveness in pest control. However, concerns have emerged regarding their persistence in the environment and unintended effects on non-target organisms, particularly gut microbiota. The gut microbiota, essential for digestion, immunity, and metabolic health, can be disrupted by NEOs, leading to dysbiosis, immune dysfunction, metabolic disturbances, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) have garnered global attention due to their widespread environmental residues and adverse effects on non-target organisms and human health. Characterizing the contamination patterns and identifying key driving forces influencing their residues are essential for effective pollution mitigation. This study examined the spatiotemporal distribution of NEOs in the agriculture-dominated Shaying River Basin, central China, and systematically evaluated the effects of multiple influencing factors on their accumulation in soils, as well as the multivariate interactions.

The competitive retention of pollutants in water tables determines their environmental fate and guides routes for their removal. To distinguish the fine differences in competitive binding at zeolite adsorption centers, a group of neonicotinoid pesticides is compared, relying on theoretical (energy of adsorption, orientation, charge distribution) and experimental (spectroscopic and thermogravimetric) analyses for quick, inexpensive, and reliable screening. The MOPAC/QuantumEspresso platform was used for theoretical calculation, indicating close adsorption energy values for acetamiprid and imidacloprid (-2.

Our study investigated the effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on transcriptional changes in Nilaparvata lugens and its potential implications for managing insecticide resistance. N. lugens were exposed to UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C wavelengths for 30 min, and subsequent gene expression patterns were analyzed.

Seed treatments with insecticides are important tools for managing corn stunting disease complex (CSDC) transmitted by (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) by reducing the initial leafhoppers' population and, consequently, the risk of pathogen transmission. We evaluated the effect of insecticides used in seed treatment on both healthy and spiroplasma-infected leafhoppers, the persistence of the seed treatment effect on disease symptom severity, and its impact on corn productivity. At the V2 stage, imidacloprid/thiodicarb was the most effective, resulting in 100% mortality of healthy leafhoppers and 85.
