Estimations of infestation by the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) as well as measurements of grain yield in 26 Hungarian winter wheat cultivars under field conditions were correlated with the concentration of ...

Numerous species of herbivorous insects are associated with soybeans, including the specialist velvetbean caterpillar (VBC), Anticarsia gemmatalis, and the generalist fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda. Expression ...

Herbicide resistance within key driver weeds, such as common waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer var. rudis (Sauer) Costea and Tardif ], constrains available management options for crop production. Routine ...

The genus Ceratocystis includes several species distributed throughout the world. A plant infected with this fungus presents as primary symptoms the darkening of the vascular system and as secondary symptoms wilt, dryness ...

Present study is aimed to evaluate the effects of silicon and acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM) application on the oviposition/feeding preference of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci biotype B during development of bean plants. A ...

Possible reasons for the rejection of some lines of Triticum monococcum (Tm44 and Tm46) by the aphid Sitobion avenae were explored. In all T. monococcum lines studied, whether unfavourable (non-host/resistant plant) or ...

The attack of different pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses has a negative impact on crop production. In counter such attacks, plants have developed different strategies involving the modification of gene ...

Interactions between different pest control methods can affect Integrated Pest Management efficiency. This study sought to evaluate (1) if Si accumulation is related to the level of constitutive resistance in sorghum ...

BACKGROUNDWeeds reduce crop yields, and among the methods used to control these plants, the use of chemicals is preferred. However, the repeated application of herbicides with the same mechanism of action selects for ...
