Impact of Simulated Insect Defoliation and Timing of Injury on Cabbage Yield in Minnesota [PDF]
In 1992 and 1994, field studies were done to assess the tolerance of transplanted cabbage to simulated insect defoliation and to determine if the defoliation level and growth stage at which defoliation begins influences final yield.

Climate warming promotes pesticide resistance through expanding overwintering range of a global pest
Climate-driven range shifts may affect pesticide resistance. Here, the authors analyse experimentally parameterised and field-tested models to show that a cosmopolitan insect pest, the diamondback moth, is acquiring resistance against local pesticides ...
