Notes for REVIEW


mh 18./22.6.09 In header of the last revision datasheet (14.july08) it said radish is not a host, but in the text it says it is. Pls check host list in header and in text - they should be the same. There are two species mentioned with different geographical distribution (B. hilaris and B. cruciferarum, according CABI, this is one and the same species). Pls specify. Include size of eggs and nymphs. Include natural enemies image and more information. The recipes are very unspecific. Pls include detailed recipes on biopesticides and/or provide sources (Keizer, Dobson, Elwell). Pls check as noted for other datasheets (header, host list, pestmodules, recipes, reference addresses for local products).
