Lodging in cereals can cause significant decreases in yield. It
is both a problem in susceptible cereal cultivars with a tall-stemmed,
weak-strawed growing habit and in lodging-resistant
cereal cultivars when they are grown under high-nitrogen, high-moisture
regimes. Plant growth regulators (PGR's) are chemical
growth retardants that offer a method of...
Levels of resistance to six selected insecticides of
eleven field populations of the filbert aphid Mvzocallis
coryli (Goetze) were determined by using the leaf-dip
residue technique. Test insecticides included compounds
widely used in commercial filbert orchards, namely,
carbaryl, diazinon, endosulfan, phosalone, fenvalerate and
oxydemetonmethyl. Aphid samples were collected within a...
