Practical Control of Wireworm with 'Gammexane' [PDF]

Nature, 1946
IN Nature of June 8, Messrs. Golightly and Hogg refer to our statement in an earlier issue that wireworm populations had been reduced by as much as 65 per cent following the application of ‘Gammexane’. In view of a misconception that has evidently arisen, we would state that this 65 per cent measured the difference between the populations of treated ...

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.
