Data from long-term Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) pheromone trapping programs in two flour mills was used to evaluate the impact of structural fumigations (n = 23) on pest populations. The two mills differed in mean number of beetles captured and proportion of traps with captures of one or more beetles, but in one of the mills the mean number of beetles captured was reduced after implementing a ...

A computerized laboratory animal tracking database system and several interactive microcomputer application programs for monitoring captive animals, selecting and randomly assigning animals to treatment groups, formulating baits, and other tasks are described.

The pear leaf blister moth is a significant pest in apple orchards. It causes damage to leaves by forming circular mines. Its control depends on monitoring two events: the flight of first generation and development mines up 2 mm size. Therefore, aim this study was develop models using artificial neural networks (ANNs) devices with cameras for early detection L. malifoliella (Pest Monitoring Dev...

BACKGROUND The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is a major agricultural pest of commercial potatoes. Pest managers use a combination of control tactics to limit populations, including multiple insecticides. Finding a window of insecticide susceptibility and understanding genetic responses to insecticide exposure during a growing season may provide novel management recomm...

Invasive, polyphagous crop pests subsist on a number of crop and non-crop resources. While knowing the full range of host species is important, a seasonal investigation into the use of non-crop plants adjacent to cropping systems provide key insights into some of the factors determining local population dynamics. This study investigated the infestation of non-crop plants by the invasive Drosoph...

Integrated pest management is widely applied in terrestrial agriculture, but less so in aquaculture. Parallels to insect control in agricultural fields were exploited in this application of integrated pest management principles to control burrowing shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis and Upogebia pugettensis in Pacific Northwest U.S.A. oyster aquaculture. The pesticide carbaryl has been applied to...

Entomologists today are interested in investigating low flying pest insects for determining significance and causes of long range migration, population dynamics and role played by landscape in dispersal and survival of these insects. One of the widest used techniques today for monitoring smaller, low flying insects is using harmonic radars and transponders [1] collectively called harmonic track...
