However, Module 3, integrating yellow sticky traps, 1% starch wash, castor oil, L. lecanii and acetamiprid, provided substantial suppression with lower dependence on conventional chemical input. On the basis of efficacy, ecological compatibility and field practicability, Module 3 is recommended as the preferred IPM option for routine management of A. rugioperculatus in coconut under north-eastern Indian conditions, whereas Module 1 may be reserved for severe outbreak situations requiring rapid suppression. The study demonstrates that laboratory-validated botanical, microbial and selective chemical components can be assembled into a scalable and recommendation-driven IPM programme for sustainable management of rugose spiralling whitefly.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/finsc.2026.1814622 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/finsc.2026.1814622 <![CDATA[Norroa™ as a dsRNA biopesticide for Varroa destructor: insights from New Zealand research on mode of action, field efficacy, non−target effects, and social acceptance]]> 2026-06-09T00:00:00Z Review Philip J.
