A wild type strain ofVerticillium lecanii and a mutant strain with increased tolerance to the fungicide benomyl were evaluated in greenhouse experiments for effects on Heterodera glycines populations. Nematodes were applied at 300 eggs and juveniles per 4,550-cm(3) pot (two soybean plants in 4,990 g loamy sand per pot) and at both 300 and 10,000 eggs and juveniles per 1,720-cm(3) pot (one soybe...

This study investigated differences in sensitivity to nitrate of soybean (Glycine max cv. Davis) symbioses with 16 different Rhizobium japonicum strains. When nitrate (20 mM) was added to established symbioses, there were no significant differences in the degree of inhibition of acetylene reduction for any of the 16 strains. When nitrate was present during the establishment of nodules, high lev...

Every year, millions of pots and traps are lost in crustacean fisheries around the world. Derelict fishing gear has been found to produce several harmful environmental and ecological effects, however socioeconomic consequences have been investigated less frequently. We analyze the economic effects of a substantial derelict pot removal program in the largest estuary of the United States, the Che...
