ISOSPORA SUIS HAS COST THE SWINE PRODUCER AN ESTIMATED 269 MILLION DOLLARS (IN 1991 DOLLARS), FROM 1980 TO 1988. THE LOSS IN 1991 IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER $20 MILLION, CONSERVATIVELY ESTIMATED, FROM PORCINE COCCIDIOSIS. THERE IS NO CURRENT VACCINE ON THE MARKET, NO COCCIDIOSTATS ARE LICENSED FOR SWINE USE, THE USE OF NON-LICNESED COCCIDIOSTATS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE, AND THE TREATMENT OF PIGS WITH COCCID ...

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PESTICIDES IS A NECESSITY GIVEN THE GROWING PROBLEM OF PEST RESISTANCE AND THE NEED TO SATISFY ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH CONCERNS. BIORATIONAL APPROACES TO INSECTICIDE DISCOVERY INCORPORATE A KNOWLEDGE OF INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF COMPOUNDS ACTING ON SPECIFIC INSECT MOLECULES. ANTHOS IS A COMPANY DESIGNING ASSAYS TO SCREEN NATURAL PROD ...

APOGEE CORPORATION IS ADDRESSING THE TOPIC OF THE PRESENT SOLICITATION DEALING WITH CONSERVING WATER RESOURCES AND RESTORING WATER QUALITY BY PROPOSING THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE, PROPRIETARY METHOD OF POTABLE WATER PRODUCTION ON A SCALE MUCH LARGER AND COST MUCH LOWER THAT HERETOFORE POSSIBLE. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A METHOD OF WATER DEMINERALIZATON OF DES ...

THIS PROJECT PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN OBJECTIVE METHODOLOGY FOR FORECASTING INSECT PEST POPULATION ABUNDANCES AND TO IMPLEMENT THIS METHODOLOGY AS AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SOFTWARE PACKAGE. FOR AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST INSECT PESTS WE CAN GENERALLY OBTAIN ESTIMATES OF THEIR POPULATION ABUNDANCE OVER TIME. THESE DATA ARE USUALLY COLLECTED BY DIRECT SAMPLING, PHEROMONE TRAPS, OR ESTIMATES BASED ON DAMAG ...

IN 1987 RUTGERS PROFESSORS COMPLETED KEY RESEARCH ON SINGLE CLUSTER TOMATO PRODUCTION. THE RESULTS INDICATE THIS COUNTER INTUITIVE (I.E.; INNOVATIVE) IDEA CAN REVOLUTIONIZE TOMATO GROWING IN GREENHOUSES TO SUPPLY VINE RIPENED TOMATOES YEAR AROUND AT AN ATTRACTIVE PRICE. THE CURRENT TOMATO GROWING STRATEGY IS TO GROW PLANTS THROUGH AN ENTIRE SELLING SEASON. INTUITIVELY THIS STRATEGY IS REASONABLE S ...

ALTHOUGH INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS DERIVED FROM OATS (AVENA SATIVA) HAVE BEEN FOUND TO POSSESS NOVEL PROPERTIES, THESE HAVE NOT BEEN EXPLOITED COMMERCIALLY TO ANY GREAT EXTENT, THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE BEING A LACK OF MARKETS FOR BY-PRODUCTS. APPLICATIONS FOR PROTEINACEOUS FRACTIONS OF OATS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY BASIC BIO SYSTEMS, INC. AND IT IS NOW PROPOSED TO REFINE THE RESULTING OIL BY-PRODUCT AND DET ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO ESTABLISH AN EFFICIENT, COST EFFECTIVE FLY CONTROL PROGRAMFOR HIGH PLAINS CATTLE FEEDLOTS. THIS PLAN WILL ECONOMIZE THE USE OF PARASITES AND DEMONSTRATE WHAT EFFECT PARASITE RELEASES HAVE ON FLY NUMBERS. CURRENT CONTROL PROGRAMS USE INSECTICIDES, FLY PARASITES (PTEROMALIDAE), AND SANITATION TO REDUCE THE PEST FLIES. UNFORTUNATELY, PROPER METHODS OF SAMPLING (FL ...
