Wireless sensor network is a solution for monitoring environmental conditions and efficient utilization of water. In this paper, an effective irrigation management system is presented for the container grown crops. It utilizes wireless se...

Systemic insecticides for control of black vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in container- and field-grown nursery crops.

Black vine weevils, Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are serious pests of container- and field-grown nursery crops. Management programs usually target the larval stage in container-grown plants and the adults in field-grown plants. We tested several new systemic insecticides for efficacy against black vine weevil in container-grown Sedum spp. and field-grown Taxus spp. In...

HORTICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY Management of Early-Instar Japanese Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Field-Grown Nursery Crops

Numerous Þeld studies were conducted in commercial nurseries in Tennessee from 1996 through 1999 to evaluate chemical and biological treatments, application timing and rates, and method of application for control of early instars of Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman. Insecticide treatments included bifenthrin, bendiocarb, chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, Þpronil, halofenozide, imidacloprid, perm...
