Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
(BSES, 1991)
Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds ...
Enhancement potential of 'Ethokem' in control of the common reed (Phragmites australis) using glyphosate
(BSES, 1991)
A significant, positive response trend to the addition of the adjuvant Ethokem to Roundup has demonstrated the potential for this additive to enhance herbicidal activity when applied to control the common reed, Phragmites ...
Varietal control of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane
