Efficacy of some insecticides (pymetrozine 50WG, sulfoxaflor 24SC and imidacloprid 17.8SL) was evaluated against rice white backed plant hopper (WBPH) Sogatella furcifera Horvath. Sulfoxaflor @218.7 g a.i./ ha pymetrozine 50WG @ 187.5 gave significantly results (7.57 7.82/ hill, respectively).However, highest grain straw yield (40.87 64.33 q/ ha) observed with 50WG@ 218.7 (40.41 64.22 ha).

The Norwegian Arthroplasty Register has shown that several designs of uncemented femoral stems give good or excellent survivorship. The overall findings for uncemented total hip replacement however, have been disappointing because of poor results with the use of metal-backed acetabular components. In this study, we exclusively investigated the medium-to long-term performance of primary uncement...

Managing for stand structural complexity in northern hardwood forests has been proposed as a method for promoting microhabitat characteristics important to eastern red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus). We evaluated the effects of alternate, structure-based silvicultural systems on red-backed salamander populations at two research sites in northwestern Vermont. Treatments included two une...
