Field studies were conducted in Illinois and Delaware, USA, from 2000 to 2003, to determine the efficacy of different rates of seed treatment insecticides (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) in controlling Stewart's wilt (Pantoea stewartii), transmitted by the corn flea beetle (...

A device for autoinoculating insects with marker dye and active agents, such as competitors of plant pathogens (e.g. Trichoderma harzianum, T. polysporum [Tolypocladium niveum], Bacillus subtilis) and entomopathogens (e.g. Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, Beauveria bassiana) is described....

Field studies were carried out in Fort Collins, Coloradao, and Evanston, Illinois, in 1976-77 to evaluate the effectiveness of grids of barrier traps baited with multilure [ alpha -cubebene, with 5-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, and 4-methyl-3-heptanol] in protecting American and ...
