Abstract The mortality of the Alabama argillacea and Chrysodeixis includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae caused by kaolin inert powder entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana were determined under laboratory conditions. Using caterpillar submersion method, CG 138 B. isolate was more pathogenic to A. than 70, GC 82, ESALQ 634, 645. All five tested isolates similar C. includens. first-insta...

Arthropod pests are among the major problems in soybean production and regular field sampling is required as a basis for decision-making control. However, traditional methods laborious time-consuming. Therefore, our goal to evaluate hyperspectral remote sensing tool establish reflectance patterns from plants infested by various densities of two species stinkbugs (Euschistus heros Diceraeus mela...

Abstract Zein nanoparticles (ZNPs) were synthesized with a cationic surfactant, didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (122.9 ± 0.8 nm, + 59.7 4.4 mV) and non-ionic Tween 80 (118.7 1.7 26.4 1.1 mV). Lignin-graft-poly(lactic- co -glycolic) acid (LNPs) made without surfactants (52.9 0.2 ? 54.9 0.5 Both samples applied as antifungal seed treatments on soybeans, their impact germination plant health was...
