The survival rates of S. frugiperda at each developmental stage on the five hosts plants are indicated in Table 2. Variations in the survival rates at each larval instar, prepupal, pupal and adult stages were shown among the five host plants. The survival rate was on higher maize and lower...
relative to the simple expectations of a degree–day model. Fluctuations increased the rate of development at low temperature treatments (20 °C); so, in this treatment, the greater the fluctuation, the faster the development. Similar fluctuating temperature effects, namely increasing rates of develo...
Water intake was assessed by weighing bottles before, during and after the march. The mean relative humidity was 55.7%(21.9–94.3%) and the mean dry bulb temperature was 27.1°C(19.5°C-37.0°C) during the exercise.Results: Twenty-five soldiers(72±10 ...
fields on the order of 1,000,000 gauss are needed to influence the particles within an atom .12 The device tested at CERL had a magnetic field strength of only 7200 gauss and is typical of the field strength used by similar devices.) Their field test evaluated corrosion rates over 4 ...
and crews perceived the A2 model to have good survivability. The Army reported readiness rates for the Bradley that were generally 90 percent or higher during the ground war-indicating its high availability to move, shoot, and communicate during combat. The Bradley proved to be lethal, as crews...
Many factors influence parasitism rates. In Uganda, farmers adopted heavy application of mainly organophosphate broad-spectrum insecticides to control FAW. This would likely impact the abundance of natural enemies of FAW. Indeed, parasitism was highest in untreated plots than in plots treated with biope...
Soldiers consuming 2 servings/day of protein or carbohydrate had lower MSI rates, limited/missed duty rates, and limited/ missed training days compared to non-supplemented soldiers.
