The combined application of a baculovirus (Trichoplusia ni Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), T. ni single nucleopolyhedrovirus, TniSNPV) and Beauveria bassiana against the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni was not more effective compared to singly applied TniSPNV.

The introduction of intermediate tiers in the environmental risk assessment of plant protection products for soil organisms can help to reduce uncertainties in the risk assessment and serve as a bridge between the Tier 1 and higher‐tier risk assessment.

Quantifying the impact of Psylliodes chrysocephala injury on the productivity of oilseed rape
The impact of Psylliodes chrysocephala adult and larval damage on oilseed rape yield was quantified to help develop improved thresholds for Integrated Pest Management. Up to 90% leaf area loss (simulated using a hole punch) during early growth did not affect yield.

Experimental arena settings might lead to misinterpretation of movement properties
Many studies examine movement in the laboratory and use different laboratory conditions, specifically arenas differing in structure, size, and shape. We examined the effect of the arena structure on movement properties using the red flour beetle as a model. The arena structure greatly affected movement properties, such as movement distance, turn angles,

Abstract Hoverfly larvae are voracious predators of aphids but have limited dispersal capacity, so their survival depends critically on female selection of oviposition sites. For aphid control purposes, the ability of females to find small aphid colonies is especially valuable.

Autotopism groups of cyclic semifield planes [PDF]
Let \(V\) be an \(m\)-dimensional vector space over the finite field \(K\) with \(q^{n}\) elements, \(\sigma\) an automorphism of \(K\) and \(T\) an irreducible \(\sigma\)-linear operator on \(V\). Assume that the fixed field \(K_{0}\) of \(\sigma\) has \(q=p^{f}\) elements, \(p\) prime.

Abstract Deeper rooted crops are an avenue to increase plant water and nitrogen uptake under limiting conditions and increase long‐term soil carbon storage. Measuring rooting depth, however, is challenging due to the destructive, laborious, or imprecise methods that are currently available.

Alternative locust control with a dilutable linseed oil emulsion
In this study, we improved a pesticidal formulation based on linseed oil for the control of gregarious locusts. Lab experiments and a semifield experiment conducted with Schistocerca gregaria revealed a high toxicity of this oil emulsion. This emulsion is harmless for humans and biodegradable.

New Semifield Planes of order 81
14 pages. Revised paper (original title: New semifield planes of orders 64 and 81). U. Dempwolff had previously and independently obtained a classification of finite semifields of order 81 (Semifield Planes of Order 81, J. of Geometry (to appear)).
