Determination of economic injury level of Sitobion avenae (Hom.: Aphididae) on wheat of Chameran variety in Ahwaz [PDF]
The drought phenomenon in recent years has increased the oat aphid (Sitobion avenae Fab.) population in khuzestan wheat fields. Considering the existence of different natural enemies of this pest in cereal fields, the best control method would be based ...

Comparison and validation of population models for cereal aphids
Models used to simulate changes in populations of cereal aphids need to be compared and validated if they are ever to be improved sufficiently for wide-scale use in crop protection.

Exploring the insecticidal activity of two Algerian halophytes, Atriplex halimus and Suaeda fruticosa. ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical profile and evaluate the in vitro and in silico insecticidal activities of methanolic extracts from two halophytes, Atriplex halimus (A. halimus) and Suaeda fruticosa (S. fruticosa).

Abstract With the growth in the craft brewing industry, farmers are interested in producing winter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Timely barley planting is important; however, wet weather often results in delays. The objective of this experiment was to identify the agronomic optimum seeding rate (the seeding rate at which yield is maximized) for ...

Abstract Efforts are underway to increase the efficiency and precision of selection hop (Humulus lupulus L.) breeding using genomics. Little is known, however, about the genetic control of important traits like α‐and β‐acids contents, oil content, and cone morphological characteristics, all of which play an important role in determining the utility and

To avoid increased slug damage in strip cropping fields in slug‐prone areas, potential slug‐source crops should be spatially separated from slug‐sensitive crops. However, an increase in slug abundance should not deter the adoption of strip cropping as higher slug damage in strip cropping systems was rarely observed by farmers.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

ABSTRACT Plant viruses frequently cause severe economic losses in worldwide crop production. Developing broad‐spectrum resistance is the most efficient approach for controlling plant viral diseases. In this work, we found that the 17K protein of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs), which has multiple functions in viral pathogenesis including acting as ...

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.
