Innovation Is Key for Technology-Based Outreach

The Ohio State University (OSU) funded an outreach and engagement grant to design the Gardeners\u27 Toolshed, a garden center kiosk. The kiosk represented a unique opportunity for OSU to introduce itself to the citizens of Ohio in the area of gardening and pest management. The kiosk is a touch-screen-enabled computer with specific content in 14 areas ranging from plants to water gardens. This project was piloted in a garden center in southwest Ohio for just over 1 year. A user survey revealed they were quite pleased with the overall user interface, appearance, and informational content of the kiosk

Applying Imidacloprid Via a Precision Banding System to Control Striped Cucumber Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Cucurbits

The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a key pest of cucurbit crops throughout its range. A novel precision band applicator was designed to inject a solid stream of imidacloprid solution in-furrow directly over the seed during planting to reduce beetle leaf feeding on pumpkin, zucchini, and cucumber crops. In 2004 and 2005, bioassays at the cotyledon through fifth leaf were conducted on striped cucumber beetles using seedling leaf tissue grown from seeds treated using both continuous and precision banded in-furrow imidacloprid solution applications. In 2004, 80% of bioassay trials had treatments with beetle mortality significantly higher than the check, whereas 70% of the bioassay trials showed no significant difference in mortality between continuous in-furrow and precision banded treatments. In 2005, 79% of bioassay trials had treatments with beetle mortality significantly higher than the check, whereas 100% of the bioassays showed no significant difference in beetle mortality between continuous in-furrow and precision banded treatments at the same insecticide rate. The environmental savings of precision banded treatments compared with continuous in-furrow treatment reduced imidacloprid up to 84.5% on a per hectare basis for all cucurbits tested in 2004 and 2005, translating into an economic savings up to 030215/ha. In separate bioassay trials conducted in 2005 on pumpkin, where insecticide band length and injection volume were manipulated independently, several treatments had significantly higher beetle mortality than the check. There was a trend of increased beetle mortality in treatments using shorter band lengths combined with higher insecticide solution volumes

[3-(5-Hy­droxy-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclo­hepten-5-yl)prop­yl]dimethyl­ammonium 3-carboxyprop-2-enoate

In the cation of the title salt, C20H24NO+·C4H3O4 −, the N atom in the dimethyl­ammonium group is protonated. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two six-membered rings fused to the cyclo­hepten-5-yl ring is 54.4 (1)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the anion. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming a two-dimensional network

N 1,N 2-Bis[(2-chloro-6-methyl­quinolin-3-yl)methyl­idene]ethane-1,2-diamine

The title mol­ecule, C24H20Cl2N4, lies on an inversion center in an extended trans conformation. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions connect the mol­ecules into chains along [010]

2-Chloro-N-[2-(2-fluoro­benzo­yl)-4-nitro­phen­yl]-N-methyl­acetamide

The title compound, C16H12ClFN2O4, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the two benzene rings are 65.1 (7) and 65.6 (6)°. In each mol­ecule, the nitro group displays rotational disorder over two orientations in a 0.503 (11):0.497 (11) ratio and the Cl atom is disordered in a 0.432 (5):0.568 (5) ratio. In one mol­ecule, the F atoms is statistically disordered over two positions. The crystal packing features weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, which form a layered network
