Abstract:
... We evaluated the potential for using preplant trunk injections of emamectin benzoate in nonbearing apple trees. Trees were evaluated for pest injury and emamectin residues throughout the planting season and into the following year. Injections into the trunk best delivered emamectin benzoate to the canopy compared with injections into the taproot, and the higher rate reduced insect pests more than ...

Abstract:
... ROOT is a software package developed by a CERN project started in 1994 by René Brun for statistical analysis in high-energy physics. This software package can also be used in the field of protecting plants against pest insects. Indeed, for a long time there has been a significant use of the Distributed-Delay Model, but there is no specific software available to date that is useful for following th ...

Abstract:
... Forest disruption caused by pest insects is a common disaster occurring in plantations, and is a threatening factor to forest health. Therefore, a precise method for monitoring individual tree health and estimating disturbance severity is urgently needed. Theoretically, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is a promising tool in high resolution remote sensing, which can provide information regarding t ...

Abstract:
... We use an incentive compatible experimental auction to measure demand for a new agricultural technology, a triple layered hermetic storage bag. When used properly, the bag creates an airtight seal that reduces storage loss from insect pests and neutralizes aflatoxin contamination in stored grain. We find that demand for this new technology is highly elastic (4.3) and that the wholesaler could incr ...
