Quantification of avoidable yield losses in oilseed Brassica caused by insect pests [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection Research, 51(1): 38-43 (2011), 2017 A six year field study was conducted from 2001 2002 to 2006 2007 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India to study the losses in seed yield of different Brassica species (B. juncea, B. napus, B. carinata, B. rapa and Eruca sativa) by the infestation of insect pests. The experiment was conducted in two different sets viz. protected/sprayed and

Basic offspring number and robust feedback design for the biological control of vectors by sterile insect release technique [PDF]
arXivSterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising control method against insect pests and insect vectors. It consists in releasing males previously sterilized in laboratory, in order to reduce or eliminate a specific wild population. We study in this paper the implementation by feedback control of SIT-based elimination campaign of Aedes mosquitoes.
