The potential benefits of herbicide regulation: A cautionary note for the Great Barrier Reef catchment area (PDF)
Publish Date: 2014-04-01
Author/Source: A.M. Davis, S.E. Lewis, J.E. Brodie, Ash Benson
Description: While several herbicides may well be viable alternatives in terms of weed control, they can still present equal or possibly higher risks to the environment. Imposing additional regulations (or even de-registrations) on particular herbicides could result in marginal, and possibly perverse environmental impacts in the long term, if usage shifts to alternative herbicides with similar risk profile

Efficacy of Products to Remove Eggs of Pediculus humanus capitis (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) from the Human Hair
Publish Date: 2014-03-05
Author/Source: Hilde Lapeere, Lieve Brochez, Evelien Verhaeghe, Robert H. Vander Stichele, Jean-Paul Remon, Jo Lambert, and Luc Leybaer
Description: The objective of the current study was to determine the efficacy of several products to remove eggshells from human hair using an objective measurement procedure. Water and ordinary hair conditioner significantly facilitated the removal of nits in vitro. We found no difference between ordinary conditioner and products specifically marketed for the purpose of nit removal. Other products such as formic acid solution and almond oil did not have a beneficial effect.

Do some IPM concepts contribute to the development of fungicide resistance? Lessons learned from the apple scab pathosystem in the United States
Publish Date: 2014-02-06
Author/Source: Janna Beckerman, George Sundin, David Rosenberger
Description: The authors hypothesize that the approaches used to implement IPM have contributed to fungicide resistance problems and may still be driving that process in apple scab management and in IPM requests for proposals. This paper also proposes that IPM as it is currently practiced for plant diseases of perennial systems has been based on the wrong model, and that conceptual shifts in thinking are needed to address the problem of fungicide resistance.
