FLEA BEETLE CONTROL ON SPRING CANOLA, 1999

Comparisons of ecorational and chemical insecticides against crucifer flea beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on canola.

Studies were done comparing the insecticides SpinTor (spinosad), BotaniGard (Beauveria bassiana), Neemix (azadirachtin), and Surround (kaolin, a clay) with conventional chemical insecticides Capture (bifenthrin) and Helix XTra (thiamethoxam), all applied at seven rates in a 7-d assay to assess their impact on adult crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)...

SRP851 1999 Great Plains Canola Research

Comparative growth of spring-planted canola, brown mustard and camelina

With increased emphasis for diesel substitution, production of brown mustard (Brassica juncea), canola (Brassica napus) and camelina (Camelina sativa) used as biodiesels may increase in the High Plains. Since these are new crops to this region, understanding their growth is critical for their acceptance. The objective was to elucidate the growth pattern of these crops when spring-planted in wes...

Multimedia Databases CSCI 5817 – Spring 1999

Applications that require multimedia information tend to use extremely large quantities of data. Traditional databases, which are designed for queries over vast amounts of information, would seem to be ideal for managing multimedia resources. However, because of the radically different ways in which multimedia information must be processed, simply using standard relational systems provides insu...

Evaluation of the Impact of Climate on Cultivation of Spring Canola in Hamedan Province

Weather and climate parameters and their effects on crops, is one of the most effective factors in yield increase. Agro-climatic studies could be used to determine the potential of various regions and the exploit these resources to the maximum possible extent. In this study, in order to evaluate the agricultural climate of spring canola cultivation in selected stations in Hamedan province, the ...
