TESTING VIRULENCE OF DIFFERENT SPECIES OF INSECT ASSOCIATED FUNGI AGAINST YELLOW MEALWORM (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE) AND THEIR POTENTIAL GROWTH STIMULATION TO MAIZE

Testing Virulence of Different Species of Insect Associated Fungi against Yellow Mealworm (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Their Potential Growth Stimulation to Maize

This paper investigates 71 isolates of two genera of entomopathogens, Metarhizium and Beauveria, and a biostimulative genus Trichoderma, for their ability to infect yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) Ring and to stimulate maize (Zea mays) growth.Fungal origin, host, and isolation methods were taken into account in virulence analysis as well.Isolat

Drop-On-Demand Lubrication of Gears: A Feasibility Study

Different lubrication methods such as oil dip Baby Carriers or injection lubrication are used in gearboxes to lubricate tribological contacts and to dissipate frictional heat.To improve resource and energy efficiency, novel needs-based lubrication methods like the drop-on-demand lubrication are being developed.It includes an ink-jet nozzle driven b
