Field experiments and surveyswere conducted in 2003 and2004 to evaluate theefÞcacy of using the parasitoidMicroplitis mediator (Haliday) to control populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) in cotton Þelds in Northwestern ChinaÕs Xinjiang Province. The population levels of the second generation of H. armigera in southern Xinjiang in 2003 and 2004 were 20Ð60% above the economic threshold of t...

Competition or facilitation characterises intra- and interspecific interactions within communities of species that utilize the same resources. Temperature is an important factor influencing those interactions and eventual outcomes. The noctuid stemborers, Busseola fusca and Sesamia calamistis and the crambid Chilo partellus attack maize in sub-Saharan Africa. They often occur as a community of ...

Novel strategies for the management of soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), are needed due to its increasing importance, costs, and challenges in soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.; Fabaceae) Americas.
