| insecticide resistance in field populations of frankliniella occidentalis (pergande) in murcia (south-east spain). | thirty-nine field populations of frankliniella occidentalis (pergande) were collected from different crops (sweet pepper, tomato, lettuce, artichoke, melon, cucumber, carnation, broad bean, peach and plum) in murcia (south-east spain). all populations were reared separately in the laboratory to obtain enough individuals for bioassays. female thrips were bioassayed, using a standard topical application method, against methiocarb, methamidophos, acrinathrin, endosulfan, deltamethrin and formetanat ... | 2002 | 12233190 |
| impact of production system on development of insecticide resistance in frankliniella occidentalis (thysanoptera: thripidae). | the western flower thrips, frankliniella occidentalis (pergande) (thysanoptera: thripidae), has become one of the most difficult insects to control in the intensive agriculture of southeastern spain. however, resistance problems are quite different in two neighboring areas, murcia and almeria, with distinct production systems. thirty-six field populations of western flower thrips from sweet pepper crops were collected in two different dates in murcia and almeria in 2005 and 2006. western flower ... | 2008 | 18950052 |
| effect of biofumigation with manure amendments and repeated biosolarization on fusarium densities in pepper crops. | in the region of murcia (southeast spain), sweet pepper has been grown as a monoculture in greenhouses for many years. until 2005, when it was banned, soils were disinfested with methyl bromide (mb) to control pathogens and to prevent soil fatigue effects. the genus fusarium plays an important role in the microbiological component associated with yield decline in pepper monocultures. in the present study, soils were treated with manure amendments, alone (biofumigation, b) or in combination with ... | 2011 | 20820866 |
| dietary sources of vitamin c, vitamin e and specific carotenoids in spain. | a cross-sectional study was conducted within the spanish cohort of the european prospective investigation in cancer and nutrition to assess the principal food sources of vitamin c, vitamin e, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin in an adult spanish population. the study included 41446 healthy volunteers (25812 women and 15634 men), aged 29-69 years, from three spanish regions in the north (asturias, navarra and guipúzcoa) and two in the south (murcia ... | 2004 | 15182404 |
