Abstract
HPLC columns were packed with quasi-spherical montmorillonite particles which were prepared by spray-drying and then thermally treated. Separations of phenylureas (linuron, neburon, diuron and monuron), phosphothioate phenyl esters (parathion, methyl parathion and paraoxon) and other smaller substituted benzenes were performed on the columns. The relative retention of the substituted phenyl pesticides demonstrated the important role polar substituents play in the eluate-surface interactions and the strong influence of steric factors on these interactions. The retention of the pesticides decreased sharply as the polarity of the mobile phase increased. The retention of the smaller substituted benzenes showed a similar trend, but for these smaller molecules this trend was partially counteracted by the increased accessibility of interlayer spaces due to swelling as the polarity of the liquid phase increased. The role of the exchangeable cation (Na+, Co2+ and Cu2+) in the adsorption was found to be complex. The cations determine both the strength of interaction, which increases with the valence of the cation, and the accessibility of the interlayer adsorption sites which decreased with the valence.
Blue sticky traps on 3.0 m high poles were used to determine the characteristics of Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis migratory flight in Israel from 2003 to 2007. In an open area, both thrips species were caught from March to November. The dominant species was T. tabaci except during the spring. About 70% of the thrips were caught below 1.0 m above ground. Trapping height appears to reflect thrips’ concentration gradient in the air because it was not affected by setting up the poles over a sticky surface. From April to September the westerly sea breezes usually exceed 10 km/h from late morning to twilight time. As a result, about 85% and 10% of the thrips were caught in the morning and at dusk, respectively. When we used similar traps mounted on wind vanes, at 1.0 m above ground 70% of the thrips were caught on the leeward side. Thus, it appears that thrips fly mainly upwind during their migration. Indeed, while most prevailing winds are from the west, most thrips were caught on the eastern side of the poles (40–50%) and the fewest on the western side (10–20%). This information may be used to focus monitoring and control of these thrips in time and space.
