Evaluation of Carifend®, an alpha-cypermethrin-coated polyester net, for the control of Lasioderma serricorne and Ephestia elutella in stored tobacco
(2018)The use of insecticide-treated nets has lately attracted scientific interest for the management of mosquitoes and related species, as well as for crop pest control and the protection of stored agricultural commodities. In ... -
Evolution of imidacloprid resistance in Myzus persicae in Greece and susceptibility data for spirotetramat
(2017)BACKGROUND: Myzus persicae s.l. is a major crop pest globally and has evolved resistance to a range of insecticide classes making it increasingly difficult to control in some areas. Here we compare bioassay monitoring data ... -
The flavoring and not the nicotine content is a decisive factor for the effects of refill liquids of electronic cigarette on the redox status of endothelial cells
(2020)Electronic cigarettes are constantly gaining ground as they are considered less harmful than conventional cigarettes, and there is also the perception that they may serve as a potential smoking cessation tool. Although the ... -
Genetically modified organism-free RNA interference: Exogenous application of RNA molecules in plants1[open]
(2020)Since its discovery more than 20 years ago, RNA interference (RNAi) has been extensively used in crop protection platforms. So far, RNAi approaches have been conventionally based on the use of transgenic plants expressing ... -
Heavy-Metal Concentration in Tobacco Leaves in Relation to Their Available Soil Fractions

Influence of Zeolite and Posidonia oceanica (L.) in the Reduction of Heavy Metal Uptake by Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Plants of Central Greece
(2017)In two soils from Central Greece, a pot experiment was conducted with the addition of mixture at various ratios of zeolite and compost (based on Posidonia oceanica (L.) leaves) applied at a rate of 5% w/w (calculated on a ... -
Insecticide resistance status of Myzus persicae in Greece: Long-term surveys and new diagnostics for resistance mechanisms
(2016)BACKGROUND: Myzus persicae nicotianae is an important pest in Greece, controlled mainly by neonicotinoids. Monitoring of the aphid populations for resistance mechanisms is essential for effective control. RESULTS: Two new ... -
A mechatronic system for automated topping and suckering of tobacco plants
(2019)In agricultural crops, such as tobacco, the budding part of the plant is removed (topping) and the growth of axillary shoots (called suckers) is controlled with chemicals in order to produce good quality heavy-bodied darker ... -
