Population genetics strategies to characterize long-distance dispersal of insects [PDF]

, 2013
Population genetics strategies offer an alternative and powerful approach for obtaining information about long-distance movement, and have been widely used for examining patterns and magnitude of insect dispersal over geographic and temporal scales. Such

Row Crops and the U.S. Agricultural Trade Deficit: Recent Trends and Policy Issues

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 1759-1773, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Row crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, and cotton are the backbone of the U.S. farm sector, accounting for around $60 billion of exports in 2023. While U.S. row crop exports remain robust, growing concerns over the rising U.S. agricultural trade deficit underscore the need to appraise the ongoing market and policy dynamics affecting the ...

Effects of Conventional vs. Conservation Tillage Systems on Population Dynamics of Boll Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Dryland Cotton [PDF]

, 2003
Studies were conducted during 2000-2001 to determine the effects of a conservation tillage system in dryland cotton on soil surface temperatures, soil moisture, plant canopy structure, light interception, timing of fruit set, and how these factors affect

Factors affecting U.S. sorghum and cotton exports: A dynamic ARDL simulation approach

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 285-303, September 2025.
Abstract The U.S. faces increasing competition from Argentina and Brazil for sorghum and cotton exports. Using a dynamic Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model, this study shows that U.S. sorghum and cotton exports are positively affected by area harvested, yield, and export price.

Boll weevils in dry bolls: is there a performance disadvantage?

Journal of Cotton Research
Background Anthonomus grandis grandis is the main cotton pest in the Americas, with the potential to become a pest in other continents. The insect uses the plant’s reproductive organs for feeding, oviposition, and survival strategies in the off-season ...

Recent Advances in Cotton Transformation and Genome Editing Techniques: The Prospects and Challenges

Modern Agriculture, Volume 3, Issue 1, June 2025.
Application of transformed cotton plants. Cotton transformation yields desirable traits, including: (1) strengthening insect and pest resistance, (2) enhancing the resistance to abiotic stress such as drought, heat, cold and salinity, (3) improving herbicide tolerance, (4) increasing the cotton lint and seed yield, (5) boosting nutrient uptake ...

Cotton stalk management and a cover crop produce minimal effects on cotton leafroll dwarf virus

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract In 2017, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) was first reported in the United States. One CLRDV inoculum source includes the previous year's cotton stalks; hence, destroying cotton stalks could be effective for CLRDV management.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Costa Rica

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Costa Rica.
