The small hive beetle (Aethina tumida Murray) is a serious threat to beekeeping and crops that rely on honeybees for pollination. not only causes significant damage by feeding pollen honey, attacking bee brood causing stored honey ferment, but also might serve as vector of diseases. In addition, the has developed resistance pyrethroid organophosphate insecticides registered control honeybee pes...

Burkholderia cenocepacia and other members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) are highly multidrug-resistant bacteria that cause severe pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. A screen of 2686 compounds derived from marine organisms identified molecules that could synergise with polymyxin B (PMB) to inhibit the growth of B. cenocepacia. At 1 μg/mL, five compounds synergise...

Background: Pesticide application before transplanting crops has been widely used in rice as an economical and effective method for reducing the use of chemical pesticides. This study focused on feasibility pesticides a fresh corn nursery to control Spodoptera frugiperda. Methods: Three pesticides, including 35% Chlorantraniliprole WDG, 6% Spinetoram SC, 3% Emamectin Benzoate combined with Poly...

Abstract The control of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata , in citrus orchards Spain is mainly based three insecticides (spinosad, lambda-cyhalothrin and deltamethrin) liberation sterile males. However, Medfly compromised by development resistance detection spinosad-resistant alleles field populations. We report here, for first time, to deltamethrin populations collected ...

Abstract The paper deals with intumescent polypropylene (PP) undergoing extreme fire (burn-through test heat flux higher than 100 kW/m2). purpose of this unusual approach is to explore the possibility design plastic (here PP) resisting burn-through test. A combination commercial flame retardants (ammonium polyphosphate-based compounds containing a char former; AP766 (AP) and FlameOff (FO) compa...
