An Eco-Friendly Method to Disrupt Pheromone Perception in Ostrinia nubilalis: Helping Hand to Farmers

BACKGROUND European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, is a very serious pest of grain corn, sweet corn, and other crops. O. nubilalis accounts for about 5.5 to 8.5 million tons of corn loss per year in Europe and other countries. Introduced to the United States in the 1900s, this pest accounts for 20% of yield loss in North America with damages estimated...

Individual Intake Hay Basket Modification for SmartFeed Units

BACKGROUND Individualized livestock feeding systems are an indispensable facet of modern agricultural research, development, and production. However, these setups are often non-conducive to use with bulky feeding materials, such as long-stemmed hay. Research studies collecting hay intake data can decrease hay bulkiness (e.g., adding moisture, reducing...
