the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is one of the important polyphagous pests causing serious loss to many economically important crops in iran. the goal of this experiment was to study the age-stage, two-sex life table of h. armigera on different bean cultivars including white kidney bean (cultivars daneshkadeh, pak, and shokufa), red kidney bean (cultivars akhtar, naz, and say...

in the turfgrass industry, the need for salinity tolerant turfgrasses is increasing because of the increased use of saline and non-potable water. greenhouse container experiments were conducted to determine the relative salinity tolerance and growth responses of eleven native populations of tall fescue (festuca arundinacea schrub) (tf), including: semirom, mashhad, sanandaj, yasuj, yazd abad, d...

reducing nitrogen status of floriculture plants is an effective tactic in pest management by decreasing host plant quality. life table parameters and population growth rate of aphis craccivora(hemiptera: aphidiae), as well as cosmetic and qualitative parameters losses associated with aphid infestation were evaluated in relation to n fertilization levels on gomphrena globosa, under greenhouse co...

the life table parameters of macrosiphum rosae l. (hemiptera: aphididae) on five vermicompost-tea (tea-compost) concentrations (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%) and control treatment (0%) on rosa hybrida l. were determined under laboratory conditions. there were significant differences among pre-imaginal period and adult longevity of the aphid on the five teacompost concentrations. the highest mortalit...
