While Bugatti held the title of âfastest,â the Venom GT earned the title of âquickestâ production car when it went shot from zero to 200 mph in 14.51 secondsâmore than three seconds faster than the Koenigsegg Agera R and more than seven seconds faster than the Veyron Super Sport.
Western corn rootworm. The Western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is one of the most devastating corn rootworm species in North America, especially in the midwestern corn-growing areas such as Iowa. A related species, the Northern corn rootworm, D. barberi co-inhabits in much of the range, and is fairly similar in biology.
Common rust, caused by Puccinia sorghi, can be a yield-limiting disease of sweet corn. Sweet corn yield is reduced about 6% for each 10% rust severity (leaf area infected) at harvest (Figure 1).Severity of rust is affected by the growth stage at which plants are first infected, weather, and host resistance.Severe infection must be prevented in order to avoid yield reductions due to rust.weet corn hybrids with compound rust resistance are being developed presently. Prior to 1999, the Rp1-D gene effectively controlled common rust on sweet corn in North America. In 1999 and 2000, a population of P. sorghi that was virulent against the Rp1-D gene occurred in North America.
