YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT: FUNGAL METABOLITES AND HOST PLANT AFFECT THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF DIAMONDBACK MOTH TO ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI

You are what you eat: fungal metabolites and host plant affect the susceptibility of diamondback moth to entomopathogenic fungi

Background Beauveria are entomopathogenic fungi of a broad range of arthropod pests.Many strains of Beauveria have been developed and marketed as biopesticides.Beauveria species are well-suited as the active ingredient within biopesticides because of their ease of mass production, ability to kill a wide range of pest species, consistency in differe

Control of tungsten impurity source and edge transport using different gas injection with full tungsten divertor on EAST

Tungsten (W) erosion and edge transport are investigated for EAST L-mode discharges with different gas injection.It is found that W erosion can be Left Arm suppressed or mitigated by Ne or D2 seeding when divertor detachment is achieved.Compared to edge D2 fueling, Ne seeding from the divertor target is favorable for full detachment condition and t

Growth, mineral composition, fruit yield, and mycorrhizal colonization of feijoa in response to lime and phosphorus application

Abstract: The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of liming and phosphorus fertilization on the growth, mineral composition Fig of the leaves, fruit yield, and mycorrhizal colonization of young feijoa (Acca sellowiana) plants.Treatments consisted of four liming levels - 0, 25, 50, and 100% of the dose required to raise the soil pH
