Corrected Species Identification Of The Predator Orius Pumilio (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) In A Research Colony, Jeffrey P. Shapiro, Stephen M. Ferkovich Jan 2009

Corrected Species Identification Of The Predator Orius Pumilio (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) In A Research Colony, Jeffrey P. Shapiro, Stephen M. Ferkovich

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Our laboratories have reported on the predatory minute pirate bugs (Family Anthocoridae) in a research colony that was obtained in Dec 2002. The species was originally thought to be Orius insidiosus (Say) (Ferkovich & Shapiro 2004a, 2004b, 2007; Ferkovich & Shapiro 2005a, 2005b, 2005c; Ferkovich et al. 2007). However, specimens from the colony were identified as O. pumilio (Champion) by T. Lewis (USDA, ARS, Wapato, WA) in Apr 2008, not O. insidiosus as previously reported in the publications listed above.

Arkansas Soybean Performance Tests 2008, D. G. Dombek, R. D. Bond, I. L. Eldridge, R. M. Pryor

Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series

Soybean cultivar performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. The tests provide information to companies developing cultivars and/or marketing seed within the state, and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating cultivar recommendations for soybean producers


Plan To Support Grains Industry Development 2009-2012, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia Jan 2009

Plan To Support Grains Industry Development 2009-2012, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

Grain and other field crops published reports

The Plan to Support Grains Industry Development (‘the Plan’) recognises that Western Australian agricultural industries are integral to the economic wellbeing of regional and rural communities. The Plan promotes a progressive and profitable grains industry through modern best practice services and research to enhance continuous improvement in farming and supply chain practices.

The Plan has been developed to align with the Government of Western Australia’s initiatives, strategies and tactics for ‘making every hectare count’ (see Appendix 1) and with grains industry needs as identified by industry stakeholders during a series of consultation forums. These industry needs will be addressed in …


Field Release Of A Non-Toxigenic Aspergillus Flavus L Strain In Central Benin, A. M. Klueken, C. Borgemeister, B. Hau Jan 2009

Field Release Of A Non-Toxigenic Aspergillus Flavus L Strain In Central Benin, A. M. Klueken, C. Borgemeister, B. Hau

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Non-toxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus (Link) can be used as biological control agents to reduce the contamination of grains such as maize with carcinogenic and immunotoxic aflatoxins. Based on its sclerotial morphology, A. flavus is commonly divided into two types: L strains and S strains. In this study, we applied the non-toxigenic A. flavus L strain BN030D to the soil of five maize fields in Djidja, central Benin, to investigate its effects on the composition of the prevailing fungal communities, on the ratio of A. flavus L strains and S strains, and on the vegetative compatibility of L strains with …
