Reduced‐lignin alfalfa production in the water‐limited environments of the US Central Great Plains
Abstract Previous studies indicate reduced‐lignin (RL) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars as a more digestible livestock feed option with minimal reductions in biomass than conventional alfalfa cultivars at the same growth stage, allowing for harvest flexibility. However, these findings are derived from environments with adequate moisture. Thus, RL

Population Dynamics and Clonal Comparisons of Cowpea Aphid (Homoptera: Aphididae) on Resistant and Susceptible Cowpea Cultivars [PDF]
Survivorship, growth, and reproductive performance of cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch, were studied on whole plants and excised plant tissues of aphid-resistant (‘ICV-12') and aphid-susceptible (‘ICV-1') cultivars of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L ...

Development of reference transcriptomes for the major field insect pests of cowpea: a toolbox for insect pest management approaches in West Africa [PDF]
Cowpea is a widely cultivated and major nutritional source of protein for many people that live in West Africa. Annual yields and longevity of grain storage is greatly reduced by feeding damage caused by a complex of insect pests that include the pod ...

The Abundance of Aphis craccivora Koch. (Homoptera: Aphididae) on 30 Groundnut Cultivars
Experiments on the abundance of groundnut aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch. on different groundnut cultivars were carried out in the Genetics and Plant Breeding Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the period from November, 2000 to May, 2001. Thirty groundnut cultivars viz. ICGV 92109, ICGV 92113, ICGV 92116, ICGV 92118,

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

Effects of Organic and Synthetic Fertiliser on Insect Herbivore Populations in Quinoa
ABSTRACT Fertilisers are used in agriculture to promote crop productivity. There are many nutrient sources in fertilisers, and different sources cause variation in plant defence and pest tolerance. Assessing how pests respond to different types of fertilisers is key to develop integrated pest management programs.
