Combination of Methoprene and Controlled Aeration to Manage Insects in Stored Wheat

Insects, 2016
A commercial formulation of the insect growth regulator methoprene was applied to wheat stored in small bins either alone or in combination with controlled aeration of the bins, to lower grain temperature for insect pest management of stored wheat. Grain

Phenomenological Prediction of Defect Formation in Continuous Casting of Steel Utilizing Fundamental Modeling and Machine Learning

steel research international, EarlyView.
In this article, decision tree classifiers are developed to predict defects in continuous casting of steel utilizing caster data from SSAB Raahe Works (Finland). Phenomenological quality criteria extracted from applicable process measurements and results from solidification and heat transfer simulations are utilized in prediction.

Phosphine resistance status in lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) strains originating from the tropical countries

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Stored product beetles that are resistant to the fumigant phosphine (hydrogen phosphide) have been reported for more than 50 years in many places worldwide. The high levels of phosphine resistance in lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) have been

Role of morphological factors of pigeonpea in imparting resistance to spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata Geyer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) [PDF]

, 2016
Morphological characters of eleven test genotypes of pigeonpea, such as growth habit, pubescence of pods and leaves, pod angle and pod wall thickness were studied in order to work out the relationship of these traits vis-à-vis resistance/susceptibility ...

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Development of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.) on malt barley and fodder barley grain [PDF]

Progress in Plant Protection, 2013
Summary A study was carried out to determine the effect of barley grain used for different purposes (malt or fodder production) on the development of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.). The development of the pest insect was investigated on the grain of barley cultivars belonged to two different utilization types. The grain from cultivars
