Abstract:
... A field study was conducted in east-central Alabama, USA in 2008 to evaluate the influence of colored plastic mulch on ability of thrips to locate tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). Mulch colors (red 1, red 2, and violet) were mulches manufactured (Pliant Corp., Washington, GA, USA) based on ultraviolet reflectance, which has been shown to repel thrips, were compared to standard black and silver mul ...

Abstract:
... Sublethal doses of some insecticides have been reported to either stimulate or reduce the survival and fecundity of insects. Many sublethal-effect studies have been conducted after exposure of only one generation to sublethal insecticides, and there is little information about the sublethal effects on insects after long-term exposure to sublethal insecticides. In this study, changes in biological ...
