	Brassica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brassica is a genus of plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae).
		In addition to the cultivated species, which are grown worldwide, many of the wild species grow as weeds, especially in North America, South America, and Australia.
		Brassica species are sometimes used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species - see List of Lepidoptera which feed on Brassicas.

	Noctuidae - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Several species have larvae (caterpillars) that live in the soil and are agricultural or horticultural pests.
		These are the "cutworms" that eat the bases of young brassicas and lettuces.
		Most noctuid larvae feed at night, resting in the soil or in a crevice in its food plant during the day.

		The mechanisms by which endophytic fungi control insect attacks are listed and include toxin production as well as the influence of these compounds on plant and livestock and how their production may be affected by genetic and environmental conditions.
		From 1981 to 1985, which may be considered a historical period to the field, it was demonstrated the existence of plant protection against herbivore insects given by endophytic microorganisms.
		The list of hosts has been increasing year by year and it is expected, as it has occurred with endophytes in general, that almost all studied plants will bear nitrogen-fixing endophytes.

		Adults feed on water drops or dew and are short-lived.
		Because of insecticide resistance, concern for insecticide residues on the crop and in the environment, and deleterious effects of synthetic insecticides on natural enemies, alternatives to the regular use of synthetic insecticides are sorely needed.

	thesis
		Furthermore, a close relative of Brassica, Arabidopsis thaliana, is used as a model system in plant physiology, genetics, and biochemistry, and much of the information for the latter species is applicable in the study of Brassica.
		Brassica produces non-glandular setiform trichomes on leaves and stems that provide resistance, for instance to Phyllotreta cruciferae and Pieris rapae, by interfering with feeding activity.
		The extent to which coevolution is pair-wise, and plants become adapted to specific enemies, is determined by the presence of genetic correlations among resistance to different enemies.

	RRes - Growing The Future
		An effective technique for bollworms, which are found low down in the crop canopy, is the use of a "tail boom" or "drop-leg" on tractor-mounted equipment.
		In estimating the impacts of spray drift, for example on Lepidoptera in field margins, if the potential dose of exposure of foliage with a single spray is known, it is possible to use laboratory-collected dose-response data to estimate impacts.
		This is the point at which, theoretically, 95% of exposed insects will be unaffected by the pesticide dose, and it is argued that general population recovery can take place after this point.

	355. Acephate (Pesticide residues in food: 1976 evaluations)
		Two dogs which did not survive the study died as a result of factors believed to be unrelated to the presence of acephate in the diet.
		Some positive findings are shown in Table 5, which illustrates that when processed, most of the residue remained in the mill feed, while trace residues only (less than 0.03 mg/kg) were found in the crude oil and the soya protein flour.
		Acephate in water is stable to sunlight which, therefore, cannot be a major factor in the loss of acephate in the field.

	Insects that eat vegetables - pest identification and organic pest control methods from organic gardener Mort Mather
		Here were four 25 foot rows of turnips in which the center section of all four rows had been basically annihilated while about four feet on either end of the rows were left virtually untouched.
		Insects that feed on one member of the family, say potatoes, may also feed on other members of the same family, tomatoes or eggplant for example.
		Handpicking is best done before the eggs hatch which means that the plants should be checked once a week in cool weather and every four days when it is hot and humid and you don't feel like doing it.

		Finally they have adopted H and W's abuse of the term 'inquiline' which according to my previous experience and Henderson's 'Dictionary of Scientific Terms is an animal that shares the home of another larger animal, by which definition most mymecophilous arthropods are a special group of inquilines associated with ants.

	Organic Sweet Corn Production
		Recent research on cover crops in Maine-in which the authors state "legume cover crops can supply all or most of the N required by a subsequent crop if legume biomass is of sufficient quantity and N mineralization is approximately synchronous with crop demand" -substantiates this practice (6).
		This was the result of extended diapause in which eggs spent two years in the soil before hatching, rather than the usual one year.

	Introduction to Organic Broccoli Production
		Since brassica crops are subject to a number of insect pests and fungal diseases, a sound crop rotation is important.
		Brassicas can be rotated with beans and other legume vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, squash family, lettuce, onion family, carrots, beets or spinach.
		Brassicas thrive particularly well after legume cover crops, and/or onion-family (garlic, leeks, onions, scallions), all of which have subtle beneficial effects on the soil.

		One noteworthy exception, which is an example of how nonindigenous organisms can unexpectedly interact with indigenous ones, is the beet leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus), which was introduced into the United States on the tops of sugar beets.
		Seed merchants, whose trade dealt primarily with the importation of nonindigenous species, were advertising their stock in broadsheets by 1800 (Mack, 1991), and this cottage industry grew enormously in scope and national distribution in the 19th century.
		Most important here is that the array of species greatly expanded from small lists of crop plants and a limited number of medicinals to a wide array of plants for seasonings and ornamentation.

		Larvae feed on nettles and the adult insects are attracted to woodlands, where they may be seen feeding on brambles and thistles in clearings or flying high in the canopy, particularly around damaged trees oozing sap.
		Larvae are thought to feed on nettles and elm here, but further study is needed to confirm this.
		The strong-flying butterflies are on the wing in July and August and show a preference for flower-rich meadows with knapweed, scabious and thistles on which to feed.

	Notes from a Talk on GMOs by Beverley Thorpe (Greenpeace)
		Scientists have advised government regulators that longer-term feeding studies should be required when a new crop includes a protein or proteins for which there is no documented human exposure, or when novel proteins are created in a crop via modification of the primary structure of a naturally occurring protein.
		The research - which has yet to be published and has not been reviewed by fellow scientists - is highly significant because it suggests that all types of bacteria could become contaminated by genes used in genetically modified technology, including those that live inside the human digestive system.
		The grass, which Scotts hopes will eventually carpet every lawn and golf course around the world, is genetically altered to withstand applications of the most potent weed killers and remain healthy and green.
