An overview of agricultural neonicotinoid regulation in the EU, Canada, and the United States
Grounded in broad environmental coalition and place‐based research, the European Union, Ontario and Québec in Canada, and several US states placed restrictions on agriculturally‐applied neonicotinoids. The exact regulations and how they were implemented are explored.

We isolated three insect‐killing nematodes from Maladera formosae infested corn–soybean rotated fields, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Pristionchus sp., and Steinernema carpocapsae. Results from greenhouse and field microcosm studies indicate all three nematodes can infect and kill M. formosae grubs and persist through winter.

Polyhalite as an alternative potassium fertilizer for sweetpotatoes
Abstract Polyhalite is a mineral that contains a significant source of potassium (K). Muriate of potash (MOP) is a widely used, well‐characterized, and available source of K fertilizer. This study evaluated polyhalite as a source of K fertilizer compared to the more commonly used MOP by measuring yields, nutrient uptake, and soil K in Covington ...

ABSTRACT Herbivorous soil‐dwelling pests cause damage in agriculture through decreases in root and shoot biomass, which can affect both plant and economic yield. Having a greater understanding of the soil environment of these pests could identify potential avenues for mitigation/control strategies. Leatherjackets (Tipula larvae) are pests of grasslands
