Control of Fall Armyworm on Sweet Corn, Spring 1996A [PDF]

Arthropod Management Tests, 1998
Abstract ‘Silver Queen’ corn was seeded in Rockdale soil on 10 Feb 1996. A randomized complete block design was employed to provide 4 replicates each for 4 treatments comprising a plot size of 4 rows, 30 feet long. Insecticide applications were initiated when 2-5% of the plants were infested with FAW.

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...
