Abstract:
... Bacterial wilt, caused by Erwinia tracheiphila (Smith), can result in serious yield loss of cantaloupe in the Midwest United States. Although neonicotinoid insecticides are an effective means of managing the cucumber beetles that vector E. tracheiphila, this management regime may cause toxicity to pollinators. An alternative method of managing this disease is to use products that induce resistance ...

Abstract:
... Soft red winter wheat (SRWW) is an important crop in the mid-Atlantic. The use of growth regulators such as trinexapac-ethyl (TE) applied with nitrogen applications at pseudo-stem erection [Zadocks (ZGS) 30] has gained more interest in the region as a means to reduce lodging and potentially improve yields. Fungicide use has also increased, with many growers applying fungicides at ZGS 30 and again ...

Abstract:
... Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) of oilseed rape, is a broad-host-range pathogen. The demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicide propiconazole was officially approved in China in 2014 for control of this pathogen. In this study, baseline sensitivity of S. sclerotiorum to propiconazole was established. The distribution of the 50% effective concentration (EC50) v ...

Abstract:
... Insects of the genus Spodoptera Guenée (Noctuidae) are responsible for great economic losses in important crop plants such as maize and rice, among others. Efforts have been made to control this pest using organophosphate, carbamate, pyrethroid, and benzoylurea pesticides to which these insects have developed resistance. For this reason, it is urgent to find new options to control these insects. C ...

Abstract:
... Many smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa rely on synthetic pesticides for protecting stored-grain. Recommendations on use of these grain protectants are typically based on “blanket” application rates which are fixed rates that are not varied according to grain type, pest range or agro-climatic regions. There are numerous anecdotal reports of storage pesticide failure or reduced efficacy from ...

Variation in resource input (antixenotics and allelochemicals) to plants trigger bottom-up effects on ber-fruit fly interactions. However, variation in plant extrinsic and intrinsic traits in response to r ...
