Au debut du XXe siecle, l’importance economique des plantes agricoles et des essences de coupes forestieres a atteint un niveau favorisant la naissance de l’entomologie appliquee. Son developpement initial est marque par la fondation de la SPPQ, la creation du premier programme d’etudes superieures en entomologie, ainsi que le recrutement d’entomologistes professionnels dans les institutions publiques de protection des plantes contre les ravageurs. Les entomologistes en chef James Fletcher au gouvernement federal et Victor Huard au gouvernement provincial, ainsi que les professeurs William Lochhead du College Macdonald et Georges Maheux de l’Ecole forestiere de l’Universite Laval, sont des figures remarquables de cette epoque. Les entomologistes publient abondamment sur le cycle de vie des insectes nuisibles, sur les dommages causes et sur les moyens de lutte efficaces avec des insecticides encore primitifs et dangereux. Pendant plusieurs decennies, Ernest-Melville DuPorte se trouve au College Macdonald au centre des etudes superieures et de la recherche en entomologie au Quebec. Apres la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la demande en denrees alimentaires et en fibre ligneuse croit a un rythme sans precedent, de meme que la lutte aux ravageurs, a l’ere nouvelle des produits chimiques de synthese, notamment des insecticides comme le DDT. En agriculture, les entomologistes actifs en phytoprotection se regroupent au laboratoire de recherche de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu et au Service de la protection des cultures du MAPAQ, ainsi que dans leurs stations de recherche de terrain. La recherche en entomologie forestiere se developpe a Quebec autour du laboratoire federal des Laurentides et a la Faculte d’arpentage et de genie forestier (aujourd’hui la Faculte de foresterie, de geographie et de geomatique) de l’Universite Laval. Sous la pression de l’industrie forestiere, les arrosages aeriens aux insecticides deviennent systematiques et sont surtout regis par l’abondance cyclique de la tordeuse des bourgeons de l’epinette. A la fin des annees 1960, l’entomologie appliquee prend lentement un virage ecologique, ouvert au controle naturel des ravageurs et aux idees de la resistance des plantes et de la stimulation de l’impact des agents biologiques de repression. La recherche et la formation aux etudes superieures en entomologie connaissent un essor marque dans les centres universitaires etablis et nouvellement crees.

Aluminium acetate, aluminium chloride, sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulfite, potassium sorbate and trisodium phosphate completely inhibited mycelial growth. Exposure of F. solani var. coeruleum conidia to aluminium acetate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulfite or trisodium phosphate at 0.2 M resulted in 100% mortality of the conidia after 1 h while aluminium chloride and aluminium lactate caused 100% mortality after an exposure of 24 h. In order to evaluate the effect of salts on potato dry rot development, F. solani var. coeruleum-inoculated tubers were treated with the different salts and disease severity was evaluated following an incubation period of 7 d.

Position in the bioassay and contact and/or repellence behaviour towards the seeds were recorded every 5 min for 3 or 5 h. Wireworm health was recorded for 70 or 126 d after exposure. Seeds were treated with the fungicides Dividend XLRTA (difenoconazole, mefenoxam) or Raxil MD (tebuconazole, metalaxyl), and/or the insecticides Vitavax Dual (lindane), Poncho 600F (clothianidin), Cruiser 350FS (thiamethoxam), Admire 240FS (imidacloprid), Gaucho 480FL (imidacloprid), Tefluthrin 20CS (tefluthrin), or Tefluthrin-Cruiser combinations. Most wireworms (> 80%) came into contact with the seeds in all treatments. Wireworms generally remained in contact throughout the observation period in the control treatments (Dividend, Raxil, untreated seeds). Unless moribund, wireworms were repelled after brief (< 20 min) contact in all Tefluthrin treatments. Most wireworms recovered from contact-induced morbidity within 21 d and did not relapse, except L. canus exposed to Cruiser and some A. obscurus exposed to Gaucho and Admire. Wireworm mortality was low (< 50%) in all treatments except L. canus exposed to Cruiser at 15 and 30 g a.i. 100 kg-1 seed (60 and 75%, respectively). Mortality was significantly less important when L. canus larvae were exposed to Tefluthrin-Cruiser combinations than when exposed to Cruiser alone. We suggest that efficacy assessments of insecticides for wireworm control require direct observation of their behaviour and long-term post-exposure health assessments, and discuss the impact of repellence and/or morbidity elicited by insecticides on wireworm control in the field.","PeriodicalId":49693,"journal":{"name":"Phytoprotection","volume":"1 1","pages":"7-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91113774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phytoremediation is an emerging green technology that can become a promising solution to the problem of decontaminating hydrocarbon-polluted soils. Screening the capacity of native tolerant plant species to grow on aged, petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soils is a key factor for successful phytoremediation. This study investigated the effect of hydrocarbon pollution with an initial concentration of 40 000 ppm on growth characteristics of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and common flax (Linum usitatissumum). At the end of the experiment, soil samples in which plant species had grown well were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) removal by GC-FID. Common flax was used for the first time in the history of phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soil. Both species showed promising remediation efficiency in highly contaminated soil; however, petroleum hydrocarbon contamination reduced the growth of the surveyed plants significantly. Sorghum and common flax reduced TPHs concentration by 9500 and 18500 mg kg‑1, respectively, compared with the control treatment.","PeriodicalId":49693,"journal":{"name":"Phytoprotection","volume":"10 3","pages":"21-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72595730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
