Angle of spray direction and travel speed are important factors affecting deposition in a long-range air-assisted spray. However, former studies mostly compared tests to explore the appropriate angle and travel speed for uniform distribution. The present study investigated the effects of angle and...

Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is the most destructive pest of tomato worldwide. Biological control has always been considered as a promising management approach of this pest in tomatoes. In this context, we evaluated the effectiveness of releasing Trichogramma cacoeciae Marchal ...
