Abstract Hessian fly is an important pest of wheat worldwide and particular importance in Texas the southeastern United States. highest wheat‐producing state that severely impacted by this insect. The most effective control these areas integrated management program, including resistant varieties wheat. populations are genetically diverse can rapidly become virulent to specific resistance genes once they widely deployed a region. Knowing current virulence status regional for breeders...
Abstract Along the Coastal Bend of Texas, rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.), is a major pest grain sorghum and that primarily managed by insecticide applications. Reports bug resistance to pyrethroids in Texas first surfaced 2015 continued spread. To determine status pyrethroid resistance, populations across Louisiana were evaluated from 2021 2023. Mortality was assessed through glass vial exposures eight concentrations (0, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 μg/vial) pyrethroid,...
True wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) and false Tenebrionidae) are common pests of cotton (Gosssypium hirsutum L.) on the Texas High Plains. Wireworms as larvae damage by feeding roots, hypocotyl, cotyledon reducing plant stand. A field study was done with objective to determine how seeding rate in presence affects stand yield lint. Seeding rates evaluated per 0.3-m row were 1.5 seeds (48,433/ha), 2 (64,583/ha), 3 (96,865/ha), 4 (129,167/ha). Increasing resulted significantly greater...
