PREVENTIVE CONTROL OF FIRST/SECOND GENERATION CHINCH BUGS WITH BIFENTHRIN FORMULATIONS, 2002

Development of Resistance in Southern Chinch Bugs (hemiptera: Lygaeidae) to the Insecticide Bifenthrin

Evaluation of Non-Utility Generation Impacts On Preventive-Corrective Control of Power Systems

This paper describes a new method for the evaluation of non-utility generation impacts on preventive-corrective control of power systems. The proposed method relies on a mixed integer nonlinear optimization and is capable of recognizing the effectiveness of demand side preventive-corrective actions. A number of cases are presented to illustrate the consequences of introducing demand side action...

Immobilisation of bifenthrin for termite control.

BACKGROUND Termites are worldwide pests causing considerable damage to agriculture, forestry and buildings. While various approaches have been tried to eliminate termite populations, the relevant toxicants are associated with certain risks to the environment and human health. RESULTS In this study, to combine the merits of effective chemical control by bifenthrin and a drug photoimmobilisatio...

The Role of Peroxidase in the Defense Response of Buffalograss to Chinch Bugs

In recent years, buffalograss, Buchloë dactyloides (Nuttall) Engelmann has gained popularity as a turfgrass because of its low maintenance requirement, drought tolerance, and limited pests and diseases. Within the last decade, however, the western chinch bug Blissus occiduus Barber has emerged as important pest of buffalograss. Considerable progress has been made toward identifying buffalograss...
