| field-testing of methyl salicylate for recruitment and retention of beneficial insects in grapes and hops. | evidence for recruitment and retention of beneficial insects in grapes and hops using controlled-release dispensers of methyl salicylate (mesa), a component of herbivore-induced volatile blends, is presented. in a replicated experiment conducted in a juice grape vineyard, sticky cards in blocks baited with mesa captured significantly greater numbers of five species of predatory insects (chrysopa nigricornis, hemerobius sp., deraeocoris brevis, stethorus punctum picipes, orius tristicolor) than u ... | 2004 | 15537163 |
| laboratory bioassays to estimate the lethal and sublethal effects of various insecticides and fungicides on deraeocoris brevis (hemiptera: miridae). | this laboratory bioassay focused on lethal and sublethal effects of five insecticides (chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, spinetoram, novaluron, and lambda-cyhalothrin) and two fungicide treatments (sulfur and a mixture of copper hydroxide and mancozeb) on the predatory mired bug, deraeocoris brevis (uhler) (hemiptera: miridae) using second instars and adult males and females. formulated pesticides were tested using concentrations that were equivalent to the high label rate (1x) (high rate) ... | 2013 | 23786065 |
