Entomopathogenic nematodes against ostrinia furnacalis (asian corn borer)Shaina Mavreen Villaroza
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were extracted from soil samples using lesser wax moth larvae as bait. The isolated EPNs were identified and tested for pathogenicity against Asian corn borer larvae. EPN concentrations of 5-50 individuals were applied to individual corn borer larvae. Mortality rates were recorded at various time intervals. A concentration of 40 EPNs per larva resulted in the highest mortality percentage. Corn borer larvae were found to be effective bait for extracting Heterorhabditis group EPNs from soil. EPNs show potential as a biopesticide for controlling the major corn pest, Asian corn borer.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are beneficial soil-dwelling roundworms that parasitize and kill insect pests. They have two life stages - an infective juvenile stage that seeks out host insects, and an adult stage that reproduces inside the insect cadaver. EPNs carry symbiotic bacteria that produce toxins to quickly kill the insect host. EPNs have been mass produced and formulated for use in biological control of agricultural insect pests. Their host range, safety for plants and animals, and ability to control resistant insect pests make EPNs a promising alternative to chemical insecticides.

White fly control in fruit crops under protected STRUCTUREiari
White flies are a major pest in greenhouse fruit crops. The warm, humid conditions in greenhouses allow whitefly populations to grow rapidly. Several whitefly species can infest fruit crops, with the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) and sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) being most common. Integrated pest management for whiteflies in greenhouses includes prevention through exclusion barriers and sanitation, monitoring with yellow sticky cards, and control using biological controls like parasitoids and predators, entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes, and selective use of biopesticides or chemical pesticides.
Phytophagous mites are plant-feeding pests that damage crops.

Releasing predatory mites like Phytoseiulus persimilis at early signs of an infestation can suppress pest mite populations without the need for pesticides. Proper timing and methods are required to establish predatory mites and allow them to control phytophagous mites in an economical and sustainable manner without the pest mites developing resistance.
Cucumber Beetles: Organic and Biorational Integrated Pest ManagementElisaMendelsohn
Cucumber beetles are major pests of cucurbit crops throughout the United States. They cause direct feeding damage to plants and transmit bacterial wilt and viruses.

Cultural practices such as delayed planting can also help avoid damage from cucumber beetles.
Cucumber Beetles: Organic and Biorational Integrated Pest ManagementElisaMendelsohn
Cucumber beetles are pests that damage cucurbit crops through both direct feeding and transmission of diseases. They have multiple generations per growing season. Overwintering adult beetles feed on crops in spring, while larvae feed on roots, potentially stunting plants. Later-generation adult beetles feed on leaves, flowers, and fruits. Organic management strategies aim to disrupt the beetles' life cycle through cultural practices like trap cropping, and use of biological controls and botanical or biorational pesticides. Monitoring populations is important for well-timed applications.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up SlidesDanBrown980551
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

PEST MANAGEMENT TECHNICAL NOTE
ATTRA is the national sustainable agriculture information center funded by the USDA’s Rural Business -- Cooperative Service.
Abstract: This publication focuses on integrated pest management for greenhouse whitefly on both
vegetable and ornamental crops. It is designed to complement the ATTRA publication Integrated
Pest Management for Greenhouse Crops, which discusses techniques for good greenhouse supervision.
Monitoring of whiteflies, biological controls, biopesticides, and insect growth regulators are
discussed below. The appendices include information on the newest biopesticides and biological
control organisms.

Introduction
Whiteflies began showing resistance to synthetic
insecticides early on, and by the 1980s they were
a very serious greenhouse pest. Not only do they
feed on plants, but they also produce honeydew,
which detracts from the plants' appearance and
attracts other insects and sooty mold. Whiteflies
can also transmit plant viruses. The mere
presence of whiteflies in a greenhouse will stop
