and their consequent incorporation into high-output
screens is hard to evaluate. Recently, several
works have been exercised and extend to be
undertaken to enhance the shelf life, immediate
death, the biological scheme, effi cient in the
fi eld and dependability, and the effect of cost of
living systems and there have been some notable
successes in situations where some disruption to
the crop is acceptable.
