Growth, yield, and quality of 10 sweet potato selections and reproduction of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, were studied in fumigated and nonfumigated plots in a naturally infested field. Nematode reproduction on the different selections in the field was similar to that reported in the greenhouse but was not related to the effect of the nematode on yield of the different selec...

Orthopterans are important grassland herbivores and therefore affect plant diversity. They are in turn consumed by many other animals that depend on them for survival. If a significant proportion of these orthopterans are being parasitized it could drastically change the grassland habitat. If certain species of orthopterans have high infection rates or are parasitized by particularly deadly par...
