| particle films for managing arthropod pests of apple. | a two-season study showed that a calendar-based spray program to manage arthropod pests with kaolin (60 g/liter) applied at the rate of 450 liters/ha was effective against european apple sawfly, hoplocampa testudinea (klug) (hymenoptera: tenthredinidae); white apple leafhopper, typhlocyba pomaria mcatee (homoptera: cicadellidae); apple red bug, lygidea mendax reuter (heteroptera: miridae); pear plant bug, lygocoris communis (knight) (heteroptera: miridae); and the apple rust mite, aculus schlech ... | 2008 | 18330129 |
| effects of seasonal mineral oil applications on the pest and natural enemy complexes of apple. | this 3-yr study examined the use of two different apple, malus domestica borkhausen, pest management programs based on horticultural mineral oil. whereas oil provided some additional control of codling moth, cydia pomonella (l.), when targeting eggs of both generations (oil/direct pest program, typically six applications per season), the additional benefit was difficult to detect when densities were high. with moderate densities, oil reduced the number of fruit infestations, but not stings (unsu ... | 2005 | 16334333 |
| fixed precision sampling plans for white apple leafhopper (homoptera: cicadellidae) on apple. | constant precision sampling plans for the white apple leafhopper, typhlocyba pomaria mcatee, were developed so that it could be used as an indicator species for system stability as new integrated pest management programs without broad-spectrum pesticides are developed. taylor's power law was used to model the relationship between the mean and the variance, and green's constant precision sequential sample equation was used to develop sampling plans. bootstrap simulations of the sampling plans sho ... | 2004 | 15568369 |
