Maize is susceptible to various pests that can significantly impact yields. Key pests include the fall armyworm, stem borers, cob earworms, shoot fly. These pests can cause extensive damage, from leaf feeding and stalk tunneling to grain destruction. Effective management strategies, such as integrated pest management (IPM), resistant varieties, biological control, and judicious use of chemicals, are essential to mitigate losses and ensure sustainable maize production.INDUCTIVE EFFECT slide for first prof pharamacy students

- 26. Lots to Work On: Hey Debra, Oh excellent! Things I also hate: The turnstiles (cause, ya know, it's a library, not a prison). The stamp-pads in the books, we can all use the Internet to see due- dates, why are we wasting paper and ink? The incredibly slow 10-minute computers I think those are the major things, if I come up with anything else I'll let you know. Good luck!

- #10: Opps! Not really buy in A lot of folks hate UX but, a thick skin and being satisfied with baby steps helps
- #11: What I did do wrong: should have had more stakeholder meetings should have used a variety of methods-sort of got tied to ethnography
- #13: align services, facilities, staffing, and digital presence with the real needs of library users use time and resources wisely gain credibility on campus (you are doing research) strengthen its importance to the academic mission of the university drive innovation facilitate relationships uncover unrecognized problems you don¡¯t have to go back and change, because you got all the input and feedback up front
