Data from: Efficacy of deltamethrin and pirimiphos-methyl in layer-treated maize against the larger grain borer and the maize weevil
Two grain surface treatment insecticides (deltamethrin and pirimiphos-methyl were evaluated in laboratory assays as a surface treatment for maize to control adult Prostephanus truncatus and Sitophilus zeamais. Both insecticides were applied to 20 g of maize placed in a vial or to the upper one half, one fourth, or one-eighth layer of the maize. Insects were either added to the vials before or after the maize. Mortality, progeny production, and insect damaged kernels (IDK) were then evaluated for each vial.
Data from: Grain inoculated with different growth stages of the fungus, Aspergillus flavus, affect the close-range foraging behavior by a primary stored product pest, Sitophilus oryzae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Our goals with this dataset were to 1) isolate, culture, and identify two fungal life stages of Aspergillus flavus, 2) characterize the volatile emissions from grain inoculated by each fungal morphotype, and 3) understand how microbially-produced volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) from each fungal morphotype affect foraging, attraction, and preference by S. oryzae. This dataset includes that derived from headspace collection coupled with GC-MS, where we found the sexual life stage of A. flavus had the most unique emissions of MVOCs compared to the other semiochemical treatments.
Data from: Plant, grain, and soil response of irrigated malt barley as affected by cultivar, phosphorus, and sulfur applications on an alkaline soil
This study investigated the effects of cultivar and fertilizer phosphorus and sulfur applications on two-row malt barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grown in alkaline soil. The study took place at the Aberdeen Research and Extension Center, University of Idaho (42.95, -112.83) during the 2015 and 2016 growing seasons.
Data from: Attraction, mobility, and preference by Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Ptinidae) to microbially-mediated volatile emissions by two species of fungi in stored grain
Our goals were to 1) isolate, and culture two fungal morphotypes, 2) characterize the volatile emissions from grain inoculated by each fungal morphotype (Aspergillus flavus or Fusarium spp.) compared to uninoculated and sanitized grain, and 3) understand how MVOCs from each morphotype affects mobility, attraction, and preference by L. serricorne.

Data from: A catalog of natural products occurring in watermelon - Citrullus lanatus
In support of nutrition research, concentrations of compounds from different parts of the watermelon plant are provided. This table also provides for all compounds the citations to the literature and database sources. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Food Compound and PubChem identifiers of chemical compounds are included.
Data from: Annual Compensation for Floral Herbivory by an Iterocarpic Thistle
We tested the extent to which reproductive effort by an iterocarpic native thistle provided within-season tolerance for insect floral herbivory through plant response to apical damage. We imposed apical damage and used insecticide to reduce herbivory damage to manipulate plant response and potential outcomes in reproductive compensation. Data include: 1) detailed size and fecundity data per plant individual under different treatments; and 2) insect damage score and seeds produced per individual flower head.
Genetic fingerprinting of 184 Aspergillus from Ethiopia isolated in 2015 from peanut seeds, raw data
Genetic fingerprinting of 184 Aspergillus section Flavi isolates from Ethiopia screened with 24 Insertion/Deletion markers located within the aflatoxin-biosynthesis gene cluster. Each file name contains in this order: isolate number, marker number, range of base pairs on the aflatoxin-biosynthesis cluster where the marker is located, and well position within the 384 microplate used for capillary electrophoresis.

Data from: Phenotypic and nodule microbial diversity among crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) accessions
Phenotypic evaluation of 37 crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) accessions from the US National Plant Germplasm System. Focus of the trial was on traits important for cover crop performance, including fall emergence, winter survival, flowering time, biomass, nitrogen (N) content in aboveground biomass, and proportion of plant N from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). Experiments were conducted at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (Maryland, USA) across three growing seasons (2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015).
