Journal Article
Qonaah, I. A., Simon, A. L., Warner, D., Rostron, R. M., Bruce, T. J. A., & Ray, R. V. (in press). Rapid screening for resistance to Sitobion avenae (F.) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) in winter wheat seedlings and selection of efficient assessment methods. Pest Management Science, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.8485

BACKGROUND: Sitobion avenae (F.) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) are harmful pests of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.)]. No genetic resistance against the aphids has been identified in commercial wheat varieties and resistance phenotyping can be time‐consum...

Plant protection products derived from plant material are proposed to be a sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic chemical pesticides. This study determines the efficacy of a commercially available bioinsecticide based on garlic (Allium sa...

Constraints and solutions for development and uptake of integrated pest management in the UK (2024)
Journal Article
Walters, K. F. A., Parry, G., Burnstone, J., Grenz, K., Collier, R., & Bruce, T. (in press). Constraints and solutions for development and uptake of integrated pest management in the UK. Annals of Applied Biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/aab.12896

Agricultural improvements that reduce conventional pesticide use and support environmental aims are a priority. Current approaches develop promising alternative products but meet significant challenges in bringing them to market. This article reports...
