The author thanks all of his collaborators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and technicians for important contributions to the studies described here, as well as Dr. Niels Kristensen for helpful discussion. This work was supported by the National Research Initiative Competitive Grant Animal Reproduction Program (No. 2006-35203-17199 and 2008-35203-19120) and Animal Growth and Nutrient Utilization Program (2008-35206-18762, 2008-35206-18764 and 2009-35206-05211) from the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, and Texas AgriLife Research (H-82000).

Mitchell (597) has discussed the feasibility of using multicomponent formulations for control of several important pests of field crops. Hendricks et al. (600) showed that a mixture of looplure (622) and virelure (623, 624) were compatible and caught the cabbage looper (T. ni), the soybean looper (Pseudoplusia includens), and the tobacco budworm (H. virescens) on the same traps. It seems likely that pesticide applications to field crops could be greatly reduced by means of pheromone-baited monitoring traps, and such efforts will undoubtedly become a part of the integrated pest management projects now established by the Extension Service of the USDA. 

An extensive pesticide properties database was compiled, which includes six physical properties, ie, solubiUty, half-life, soil sorption, vapor pressure, acid pR and base pR for about 240 compounds (4). Because not all of the properties have been measured for all pesticides, some values had to be estimated. By early 1995, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) had developed a computerized pesticide property database containing 17 physical properties for 330 pesticide compounds. The primary user of these data has been the USDA s Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) for leaching models to advise farmers on any combination of soil and pesticide properties that could potentially lead to substantial groundwater contamination. 

The HYDRUS computer model was developed by the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA to estimate water flow in unsaturated soils that support plant growth81 It was developed as a onedimensional model, and then modified to allow solution of two-dimensional problems.82 HYDRUS employs the Richards equation to solve water flow in unsaturated soil however, it uses different solution methods from those used in UNSAT-H. It also requires extensive data input. The available windows version simplifies data entry and model operation.
