Abstract:
... ObjectivesTyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank; Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae), the most common arthropod pest of dry-cured ham, is controlled in the U.S. dry cured ham industry with methyl bromide (MB) fumigation. However, MB fumigation will be phased out of use since it is an ozone depleting substance. The objective of this research was to evaluate ham nets that were infused with food-grade ingredients ...

Abstract:
... Potato varieties may respond differently to the occurrence of arthropod pests including plant-pathogen. Although the potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli Sulc. (Hemiptera:Triozidae), the putative vector of Zebra Chip (ZC) disease, has been historically reported in the southern, central and western United States, the occurrence of the disease in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) is relatively new. Thus ...
