Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

COntrol of Root Weevil in Red Raspberry, 1996B [PDF]
Arthropod Management Tests, 1997 Abstract Trials were conducted in a mature field of ‘Chilliwack’ red raspberries in Vancouver, WA. Treatments were replicated 4 times on 9 X 30 ft plots in a RCB design. Sprays were applied on 18 Jun along the lower 3 feet of canes with a 2-ft hand-held boom sprayer equipped with 3 hollow cone D4-45 TeeJet nozzles at 150 psi that ...
