The squeezing problem on $\mathbb{C}$ can be stated as follows. Suppose that $\Omega$ is a multiply connected domain in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ containing origin $z=0$. How far boundary of pushed from by an injective holomorphic function $f:\Omega\to \mathbb{D}$ keeping fixed? In this note, we discuss recent results obtained Ng, Tang and Tsai (Math. Anal. 2020) Gumenyuk Roth (arXiv:2011.13...

Aphids are serious pests of a wide range agricultural crops, including pomegranates and grapevines. In addition, due to the negative environmental impacts chemical insecticides, these developing important resistance against aphicides. Therefore, one alternative method control aphids is use essential oils (EO). The present study aimed evaluate insecticidal activity Citrus aurantium C. reticulata...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are important pests that cause an estimated ten billion dollars of crop loss each year in the United States and over 100 globally. The Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) within U.S. Department Agriculture maintains updates Regulated Pest list. Currently, number PPNs regulated by APHIS includes more than 60 different species. This review focuses on to...

the prey suitability for generalist predators is an important feature for efficient mass rearing and ipm. the green lacewing, chrysoperla carnea (stephens) is a polyphagous predator attacking several pests on various crops. this experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 2 °c, 60 ± 5% r. h. and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d h. the effects of different prey species were investigated...

fumigant toxicity of camphor was studied against the aphid aphis craccivora koch and three associated natural enemies, i.e. coccinella undecimpunctata l., aphelinus albipodus hayat & fatima and aphidius colemani viereck. aphis craccivora was the most tolerant one compared with all tested natural enemies as the recorded lc50 values were 12.71, 6.33, 1.16 and 0.48 mg camphor/liter space for t...

CARVER+Shock (Agriculture) software is developed by Sandia National Laboratory, USA with the association of USFDA and USDA-APHIS as a food defense tool for farms. In the wake of recent findings on food and agriculture defense studies, it is very useful software to prepare the farm managers to protect against any act and attack of bioterrorism. The software was tested on the north Indian farms a...

The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) is an economically significant pest in North America, causing extensive damage to soybean crops through direct feeding damage and disease transmission. If unchecked, this pest could cause billions of dollars of damage to soybean crops. Identification of the soybean aphid can be difficult due to its small size, complex life cycle and morphological pla...
