Impact evaluation of weed biological control agents - best practice guide
While confirming establishment, prevalence and abundance of released agents over space and time is a crucial milestone for any biological control Post-release impact evaluation is crucial to understanding the overall success rate of a biological control program. Here the effects of grazing, herbicides and biological control agents (Longitarsus echii and Mogulones larvatus) are being monitored o...
متن کاملControl of Many Agents by Moving their Targets: Maintaining Separation
Consider a large group of agents chasing a small group of moving targets. Assume each agent moves at constant speed toward the closest target. This paper studies the problem of controlling the agents indirectly by specifying the motion of the targets. In particular, it considers the problem of maintaining a minimum separation distance between each pair of agents, something that is impossible to...
متن کاملEffect of reduced risk pesticides on greenhouse vegetable arthropod biological control agents.
BACKGROUND Arthropod biological control agents (BCAs) are commonly released for greenhouse vegetable insect pest management. Nevertheless, chemicals remain a necessary control tactic for certain insect pests and diseases and they can have negative impacts on BCAs. The compatibility of some formulated reduced risk insecticides (abamectin, metaflumizone and chlorantraniliprole) and fungicides (my...
متن کاملSoilborne microorganisms of Euphorbia are potential biological control agents of the invasive weed leafy spurge
Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula-virgata), a native of Eurasia, is a serious invasive weed of grasslands of the northern Great Plains of the U.S. and prairie provinces of Canada. Leafy spurge is very difficult to control with herbicides, insect biological control agents, and other cultural practices. Previous field investigations revealed pathogen–insect interactions on the roots of leafy spurge l...
متن کاملNewest Targets for Anticonvulsant Agents: An Overview
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures influencing about 1% of the worldwide population. Despite much progress in understanding the pathogenesis of epilepsy, the molecular basis of human epilepsy still remains unclear. Common approaches for pharmacotherapy of epilepsy are still directed towards controlling the symptoms and suppression of seizures. Clinical use ...
