To guarantee sustainability and progress, the agrochemical industry is faced with several major challenges. Currently, loss of active ingredients due to consumer perception, changing grower needs and ever-changing regulatory requirements is far higher than the number being introduced into the market. Therefore, there is a need to develop new produc...

Geographic variation in male response to sex pheromone lures has been studied in the field in a number of moth species. However, only a few studies have investigated geographic variation in female calling and sex pheromone under field conditions. For an effective field implementation of sex pheromone lures, it is essential to know the local sex phe...

When spraying simple liquids through a hydraulic nozzle, the mechanisms that affect breakup into droplets have recently been described. However, it is unknown how the droplet size distribution changes when surfactant-based adjuvants are added to the spray. When spraying different surfactant-based solutions containing commercial adjuvants, the break...

An IAA16 mutation ( G73N ) confers robust resistance to dicamba but moderate to low resistance to 2,4‐ d and fluroxypyr in key weed species kochia. The mutation also leads to significant leaf and stem morphological changes and diminished plant size, resulting in plants that are highly vulnerable to competition. Vegetative growth defects of G73N mut...

The sex pheromone of Micromelalopha siversi was characterized as (13 Z ,15 E )‐octadecadienal, the pheromone component that has not been identified in Lepidoptera before. The total synthesis of this active component was also reported. © 2020 The Authors. Pest Management Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Ind...
