Acaricide Evaluation, 1997 [PDF]
Abstract This experiment was conducted in a ⅓-acre block of 12-yr-old trees on M.26 rootstock. Trees measured 11.5 ft in height and 10.5 ft in width and were planted at a spacing of 10 X 15 ft. The experiment involved 4 single-tree replications in a RCB design, with each replicate surrounded by at least one unsprayed tree on each side ...

Identification of a novel ß-adrenergic octopamine receptor-like gene (ßAOR-like) and increased ATP-binding cassette B10 (ABCB10) expression in a Rhipicephalus microplus cell line derived from acaricide-resistant ticks [PDF]
Background: The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important parasite of livestock. Effective control of ticks using acaricides is threatened by the emergence of resistance to many existing compounds. Several continuous R.
