The effect of the application of ethyl parathion, trichlorfon, diflubenzuron, and Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki to eggs of Erinnyis ello, before and after being parasitized by Trichogramma exiguum and Telenomus sphingis, was studied. Insecticides were also tested on the adults of these par...

An expt. was established in Esparza (Costa Rica), on the integrated management of web blight (Thanatephorus cucumeris) in common beans under the min. tillage system. Var. Porrillo 70 (intermediate resistance) and ICA Pijao (susceptible) were used. Herbicides gliphosate and paraquat (1.0 kg/ha) of...

Experimentation has been the cornerstone of much of integrated pest management (IPM) research. Here, we aim to open a discussion on the possible merits of expanding the use of observational studies, and in particular the use of data from farmers or private pest management consultants in "ecoinfor...
