“…In this study, the resistance of adult sweet potato weevils to spinetoram increased after exposure to a low level of Cd 2+ , which could contribute to reduced efficiency of pesticide-based plant protection efforts. Tolerance development may involve behavioral resistance, penetration resistance, target resistance, and metabolic resistance [ 61 ], but the exact mechanism of cross-tolerance formation is not fully understood; the molecular mechanism of this enhanced tolerance also deserves further study.…”

The sweet potato weevil Cylas formicarius is a notorious underground pest in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). However, little is known about the effects of cadmium (Cd) stress on weevil biology and resistance to pesticides and biotic agents. Therefore, we fed sweet potato weevils with Cd-contaminated sweet potato and assessed adult food intake and survival and larval developmental duration and mortality rates, as well as resistance to the insecticide spinetoram and susceptibility to the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. With increasing Cd concentration, the number of adult weevil feeding holes, adult survival and life span, and larval developmental duration decreased significantly, whereas larval mortality rates increased significantly. However, at the lowest Cd concentration (30 mg/L), adult feeding was stimulated. Resistance of adult sweet potato weevils to spinetoram increased at low Cd concentration, whereas Cd contamination did not affect sensitivity to B. bassiana. Thus, Cd contamination affected sweet potato weevil biology and resistance, and further studies will investigate weevil Cd accumulation and detoxification mechanisms.

“…Become potential “carriers” while feeding on susceptible plants, spreading more serious diseases to the plants. Among agricultural pests, the P. xylostella is one of the most challenging pests to control, infesting cruciferous crops and causing up to $4.5 billion in losses annually [ 3 ]. Since crops are threatened not only by agricultural pests but also by crop pathogens, the focus of addressing these issues is on effective disease and pest management.…”

Pest disasters which occurs on crops is a serious problem that not only cause crop yield loss or even crop failure but can also spread a number of plant diseases.Sulfonate derivatives have been widely used in insecticide and fungicide research in recent years. On this basis, a series of sulfonate derivatives bearing an amide unit are synthesized and the biological activities are evaluated. The bioassay results showed that compounds A8, A13, A16, B1, B3, B4, B5, B10, B12 − 20, C3, C5, C9, C10, C14, C15, C17 and C19 showed 100% activity at a concentration of 500 µg/mL against the Plutella xylostella (P. xylostella). Among them, B15 which contains a thiadiazole sulfonate structure still shows 100% activity at 50 µg/mL concentration against P. xylostella and had the lowest median lethal concentration (LC50) (7.61 µg/mL) among the target compounds. Further mechanism studies are conducted on compounds with better insecticidal activity. Molecular docking results shows that B15 formed hydrophobic interactions π-π and hydrogen bonds with the indole ring of Trp532 and the carboxyl group of Asp384, respectively, with similar interaction distances or bond lengths as those of diflubenzuron. Moreover, chitinase inhibition assays are performed to further demonstrate its mode of action. In addition, the anti-bacterial activity of the series of compounds is also tested and the results showed that the series of compounds has moderate biological activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), with inhibition rates of 91%, 92% and 92%, 88% at the concentration of 100 µg/mL, respectively. Our study indicates that B15 can be used as a novel insecticide for crop protection. Graphical Abstract

After a decade of consolidation with a focus on top market players, global crop protection research is undergoing a paradigm transition by integrating new cutting‐edge technologies originating from established and new research organizations. Both development and distribution organizations are working together to make these innovations available to the global farming community. For this, excellent crop protection products are in demand, creating value for farmers and society with superior biological performance and at the same time very high product safety profiles. However, the enormous constraints researchers are exposed to, require the discovery and development of innovative solutions in the shortest possible time frame, while embracing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives as the new normal across the whole industry. Today, fully integrated research and development (R&D) companies are addressing the whole plethora of agrochemistry, biologicals and plant health products, organic farming, seeds and traits, new application technologies, digital farming, improved diagnostics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML)‐based approaches. However, there is still a strong need for further innovations from a wide range of sources. Targeted collaboration across various market players is key to combining required activities. This mandates a high level of discipline to frame the proprietary and knowledge environment across the industry. Furthermore, the cooperation of industry and academia will enable an extra push for innovation in the crop protection landscape. Current trends and suggestions are given of how collaborations need to be framed within the industry as well as within the public sector. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
