Evaluation of Different Rates of Ampligo Insecticide against Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith); Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the Coastal Savannah Agroecological Zone of... by Michael Y. Osae, Justice O. Frimpong, Joshua O. Sintim, Benjamin K. Offei, Dinah Marri, Selorm E. K. Ofori

“…Thus, some importers do not do due diligence in testing the chemical agronomically to ascertain its mode of action and also being not harmful to beneficial insect species in the Ghanaian environment. It was in this view that three Ampligo concentrations or rates (0 ml/ha, 200 ml/ha, and 240 ml/ha) were tested against FAW on maize that were sown at a spacing of 60 cm × 60 cm. …”

Exploring factors that influence the behavior response to novel object tests in young thoroughbred horses: investigating sex, test site and auction history by Lara Klitzing, Katharina Kirsch, Maria Schindler, Roswitha Merle, Gundula Hoffmann, Christa Thöne-Reineke, Mechthild Wiegard

“…IntroductionThe novel object test is one of the three most common fear tests in veterinary science and employed in several different species. Although having been applied in several different studies in horses, it is surprising that there is no standardized test procedure available for these kinds of tests.MethodsThis study investigated the performance of the novel object test on 42 young Thoroughbred horses to determine the effect of sex (mare or stallion), test sites (round pen or paddock) and whether the horses had previously participated in an auction or not on the behavior during the novel object test.ResultsDifferences in horses’ behavior during the novel object test were primarily attributed to the test sites. …”
