Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

Root Weevil Control on Red Raspberry, 1997
Arthropod Management Tests, 1998 Abstract Treatments were replicated five times in a 4-year-old ‘Chilliwack’ raspberry field j in Vancouver, WA. Plots measuring 1 row wide and 30 ft long were arranged in a RCB design. Full coverage sprays were applied on 10 Jun with a tractor-mounted 6-tank plot sprayer with an over-the-row boom.
