The influences of cultural control measures on invertebrate pests and their natural enemies in cereals (wheat, barley and oats) are described and discussed, with emphasis on the major pests in north-west Europe. Possibilities for additive and synergistic combinations of cultural measures are identified...
Cultural control consists of modifications of standard agricultural practices such as time of planting and crop rotation. Examples of physical, mechanical and cultural control methods employed in the management of tropical vegetable pests and diseases are herein discussed....
Ouedraogo [66] reports from Burkina Faso vernacular names of grasshoppers among the Mossi, which relate either to morphology, behaviour, characteristics or the beliefs associated with the insect. From the examples given
Agricultural use means the use of any pesticide or method or device for the control of pests in connection with the commercial production, storage or processing of any animal or plant crop. “Agricultural Use” does not include the sale or use of pesticides in properly labeled packages or conta...
In dance, the movements of caterpillars are used as examples, while certain cocoons are used as rattles. Conclusion: Lepidoptera are found very appealing because of the striking appearance of the adults, their dramatic metamorphosis and the provision of silk and nutritious food. Besides, they are ...
A contribution to the biology, phenology and host specificity of Chaetorellia hexachaeta Loew (Dipt., Tephritidae), a possible candidate for the biological control of yellow starthistle (Centautea solstitialis L.) The biology and host specificity of the tephritid Chaetorellia hexachaeta Loew, the...
Control of temperature and relative humidity in storage areas and exhibitions is crucial for long-term preservation of cultural heritage objects. This paper explores the possibilities for developing a proactive system, based on a machine-learning model (
Examples include soapbark (Quillaja saponaria), yucca (Yucca schidigera), tea seed (Camellia oleifera), and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). While these have proven effective, the molecular and chemical structures of saponins differ based on how and where a plant is grown and how the saponin is ...
In agriculture the biological control of some pests has been carried out for decades through the introduction of bacteria in the soil or directly in the cultures. In recent years, interest in the biological control of phytopathogenic fungi has increased considerably because of the public concern to...
of group organization. Of particular interest is the community lifecycle ofPan(Moffett2013, pp. 239–249; Andersson and Törnberg2019, p. 89). Communities arise and expire in irreversible, and roughly symmetric, fission events when social conflicts spiral out of control (Goodall1986; Furuichi1987...
