The featureless readings were interpreted as an indication of the presence ofkaolin.From theCambridge English Corpus
Each dish was then sprayed, using a hand-held mister, with either water or thekaolinparticle suspension.From theCambridge English Corpus
An additional experiment examined the effects of thekaolinparticle film on the settling of second-instar nymphs over a shorter timeframe.From theCambridge English Corpus
The needle-like stylets may be able to penetrate between the particles, so that any disruption by thekaolinparticle film is minimal or negligible.From theCambridge English Corpus
We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to investigate the mode of action ofkaolinagainst aphids.From theCambridge English Corpus
There have been very few laboratory studies to investigate the mechanisms of action ofkaolinagainst sap-feeding insects.From theCambridge English Corpus
The clay mineralogy of this soil is dominated bykaolin(65+80%) with sub-dominant illite (10+20%) and vermiculite (1+5%).From theCambridge English Corpus
The corporation expected eventually to extract 400 tons ofkaolinper day, which would require 200 tons of firewood per day.From theCambridge English Corpus
The biggest impact came with the amount of firewood needed to dry thekaolin, one half ton of firewood for every ton ofkaolin.From theCambridge English Corpus
Our small-scale leaf disc bioassay revealed that aphids show a clear avoidance ofkaolin-treated leaf areas very rapidly, certainly within the first 20 min of plant contact.From theCambridge English Corpus
Dolomite crystals occur suspended withinkaolin, but also encapsulate kaolinite crystals, indicating coeval precipitation.From theCambridge English Corpus
This compared to 20 of the 26 on thekaolin(upper surface only) treated plants and 14 of the 23 on thekaolin(both surfaces) treated plants.From theCambridge English Corpus
Rejection ofkaolin-treated plant material occurred very rapidly (within 20 min) and this behavioural effect may be related to the efficacy of kaolin in controlling aphids under field conditions.From theCambridge English Corpus
Using a hand-held sprayer, two applications of thekaolinparticle suspension were applied to the point of run-off to the plant material or other substrates used experimentally.From theCambridge English Corpus
The quality of the image ofkaolinfigurines varied, so that there is no direct correlation between paste and overall modeling or quality of the image.From theCambridge English Corpus
