Abstract
The vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus (Signoret), is one of the most serious pests of grape because it reduces the plant vigor by sucking the sap from inflorescence, tender leaves, shoots and fruit peduncles. To control this pest, three chemical compounds of different groups were evaluated against the adult of P. ficus (Signoret) under laboratory conditions by using grape leaves dipped in respective treatment solutions and air dried to remove excess ethyl alcohol. The results showed that the virulence of (1) was higher than the virulence of (5) and (3). In case of (1) isolate, the LC50 value was 152. 22 mg/ml while LT50 recorded 4.11 days at 250 mg/ml. Results showed that (1) isolate caused the highest mortality in comparison to other

In addition to grapes, this pest has been reported feeding on mango, oleander, dahlia, bamboo, walnut, avocado, Dichrostachys glomerata, mesquite, Tephrosia purpurea, ornamental and commercial fig, date palm, sycamore, pomegranate, jujube, apple, quince, willow, cacao, and styrax (Daane et al., 2012). It is found on all parts of the vine, for example, hidden under the bark of the trunk, in the first and second year canes, leaves, clusters, cordons and within developing buds by the late spring and summer. During the winter months, the only life stages are nymphs located under the bark predominantly at the graft union, on the pruning wounds and below the base of spurs. They feed by sucking plant sap from the stem, branches, leaves, fruits and roots, resulting in wilted, distorted and yellowed (chlorotic) leaves, premature leaf drop, stunted growth‘ and occasionally the death of infested plants or plant parts (Kosztarab and Kozar 1988). They excrete large quantities of honeydew that encrust the leaves, canes and clusters, resulting in further crop damage and defoliation. Sooty moulds colonize the honeydew coated grapes and leaves causing them to look dark and unsightly and this leads to reduce fruit quality and lower tree vitality through the loss of photosynthetic capacity (Godfrey et al., 2002). Moreover, P. ficus transmits Grapevine Leafroll-associated Virus 3 (GLRa V3) (Engelbrecht, Kasdorf 1990 and Golino et al. 2002); therefore, it is considered a dangerous pest even at low infestation
The University of Louisiana at Monroe has a diverse group of students, all of which are divided into different sub-cultures. Graduates are a group of students many people might define as responsible, mature, and even dedicated. They are slightly older than your average undergraduate student, and as a graduate assistant, many can be found in a professor’s class or office doing research. There are several types of graduate students with different cultural backgrounds. Focusing on the differences or similarities of the cultural dynamics between two graduates and how their upbringing prompted their academic choices.
After lawn inoculating a Meuller Hinton plate and placing the samples of medication, the plate was then incubated for one week at 37 degrees Celsius. The first medication choice was Trimethoprim, this produced a zone of inhibition of 16mm, therefore being sensitive to the bacteria. Antibiotic number two was nalidixic acid, this too, has a zone of inhibition of 16mm but is considered intermediate. The next antibiotic was erythromycin which produced a zone of inhibition of zero and was therefore resistant. The last antibiotic that was chosen to be used in the experiment was ciprofloxacin.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.--A game that started as a pitcher 's duel turned ugly for the West Virginia University baseball team in the latter innings as Furman defeated the Mountaineers in in the series-opener on Friday evening at Monongalia County Ballpark.

P1: describe the potential prompt that initiate the installation of new upgraded software There are different reasons that would prompt people to upgrade their software. This could be the response to a bug that is identified or it can allow the hardware device to run more efficiently so that it can improve the functionality of the software when you upgrade it. You must be aware of these prompts so that when a software upgrade shows up you should always act with them in an appropriate manner in some situations it is important for ensuring the security of your computer systems. Problems with existing systems PC can become slower or develop a fault and to fix it, it would be necessary to install new software on the computer.
This month I am privileged to share an exclusive look into the life of Sandra Gathers, who I find to be extremely passionate and dedicated to all aspects of her life. Along with 3 sisters, Sandra was born and raised in Eutawville, SC. Most people are usually surprised to learn that she was raised on a working farm. Even though she had to work very hard as a young girl, it shaped the work ethics that she encompasses to this day. Sandra graduated from Holly Hill High where she was a member of the beta club, yearbook staff and library club.

Traveling to the feisty state of Texas in the United States of America is such a worthwhile experience on its own that people are just too jaded to notice. But if you wish to know Texas more in a deeper level then head on straight to Corpus Christi and satisfy your want fully. With its placement as the city by the placid lake, Corpus Christi is now being known through the vibrant and exuberant feedback from visitors, making them come back as soon as they left. Spaniard colonizers named the city as such after a Roman Catholic holy day and with the stops and starts that Corpus Christi experienced in the past, everyone can expect nothing but growth and development for the years to come.

We all remember how terrified, clueless and lost we felt during our freshman year of high school. By the time sophomore year rolls around, you have a decent amount of friends, you know where your homeroom is, and you 're pretty much used to everything the school has to offer. During my freshman year, I felt the most typical emotions a freshman would feel from starting a new school. Similarly, in the beginning of my sophomore year, I experienced some of the same emotions as a result of transferring to a new school. The ninth grade was not a great year for me academically, socially and emotionally.
