This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is a vector of the pathogen that is the presumed causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB), or citrus greening disease. While previous studies have shown that D. citri disperse from unmanaged into managed groves, it is not yet clear how seasonality and vector infection status may affect these movement patterns. Although it has been speculated that D. citri have the capacity for long-range movement, there has been a lack of supporting data. A novel in situ marking technique was used to track the movement of D. citri under normal field conditions.

Book Synopsis Predators of Asian Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina Citri) in Southern California by : Aviva Goldmann
Download or read book Predators of Asian Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina Citri) in Southern California written by Aviva Goldmann and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) threatens the viability of California citriculture because it spreads a bacteria, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, that kills citrus trees. Preliminary observations suggested that predatory arthropods in southern California reduce the ACP population, but it was not known which predator species were important. The goal of this PhD project was to identify potentially effective natural enemies of ACP among southern California predatory arthropods for use as biological control agents. To accomplish this, we first measured the natural mortality of ACP in a southern California orange orchard by conducting a predator exclusion experiment monthly for seven months. Overall, ACP survival was nearly four times higher in cohorts protected from predators than in control cohorts. To detect which predator species contribute to ACP mortality, we conducted a year-long survey of predatory arthropods in two orange orchards. Among the predators collected, ten were abundant. We designed a molecular assay to detect ACP DNA in predator gut contents and used it to test field-collected specimens of these predators for recent predation of ACP. Three insects and all five spiders were positive for ACP predation in over 10% of specimens tested. Older C. comanche larvae and afternoon-collected adult D. pumilio were significantly more likely to test positive for ACP predation than conspecifics which were younger (C. comanche) and collected before dawn (D. pumilio). The two insects that tested positive most frequently, Diomus pumilio (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Chrysoperla comanche (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) were investigated further because of their potential for use in augmentative and/or conservation biological control. For each species, we conducted timed feeding trials to calculate a detectability half-life for the molecular predation assay analyte, and conducted prey choice assays with all life stages of ACP to determine which were most likely to be consumed after being probed by the predator. D. pumilio adults preferentially preyed upon ACP eggs and first-third instar nymphs, while C. comanche larvae most frequently consumed eggs and third-fourth instar nymphs. We recommend development of these insects as biological control agents of ACP, and suggest developing spider conservation tactics compatible with citrus IPM.

Book Synopsis Foreclosures and Invasive Insect Spread by : Timothy J. Richards
Download or read book Foreclosures and Invasive Insect Spread written by Timothy J. Richards and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human economic activity is considered to be an important factor in exacerbating the speed of invasive species spread, but may also play an important role in preventing it. In this study, we investigate the role of home foreclosure in the spread of Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) throughout residential areas of Southern California. We find that foreclosures are indeed a significant factor in explaining ACP spread, even after controlling for other human and environmental effects. Our results suggest that human economic activity may be more important in controlling the spread of invasive species than previously realized, and that the external costs of the foreclosure problem may also be underestimated.

Book Synopsis Citrus Processing by : Dan A. Kimball
Download or read book Citrus Processing written by Dan A. Kimball and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citrus juices constitute the majority of the fruit juices consumed in the United States and around the world. Along with the rest of the fruit juice industry, they playa major role in the entire food industry as well. In spite of this prominence, few texts have been written on quality control technology; and most of the texts have been written by researchers who may possess great technical skill but generally are less familiar with daily routine quality control problems and con cerns than quality control technologists are. On the other hand, quality control technologists and managers generally do not have the time and/or the talent to write books or communicate through scientific literature. The author recognized the need for an updated, comprehensive, and easily understood text on citrus quality control. This text has been designed to be used not only by processors, bottlers, canners, and others involved in the citrus in dustry, but it can be of value to instructors and students of citrus technology. Researchers also can find value in the foundations laid down by the text, es pecially in regard to the needs and concerns of the processing industry. Also, consultants and marketing personnel will be greatly helped by understanding the concepts of this volume. Persons in related industries also will find many applications that can be easily adapted to their needs.

Book Synopsis Strategic Planning for the Florida Citrus Industry by : National Research Council
Download or read book Strategic Planning for the Florida Citrus Industry written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citrus greening, a disease that reduces yield, compromises the flavor, color, and size of citrus fruit and eventually kills the citrus tree, is now present in all 34 Floridian citrus-producing counties. Caused by an insect-spread bacterial infection, the disease reduced citrus production in 2008 by several percent and continues to spread, threatening the existence of Florida's $9.3 billion citrus industry. A successful citrus greening response will focus on earlier detection of diseased trees, so that these sources of new infections can be removed more quickly, and on new methods to control the insects that carry the bacteria. In the longerterm, technologies such as genomics could be used to develop new citrus strains that are resistant to both the bacteria and the insect.

Book Synopsis Vectors of Plant Pathogens by : Kerry F. Harris
Download or read book Vectors of Plant Pathogens written by Kerry F. Harris and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vectors of Plant Pathogens is a collection of papers that discusses the interrelationship of plant pathogens with their vectors. This collection deals with the numerous vector groups associated with plant pathogens. One paper describes the biology, feeding behavior and distribution of aphids, leafhoppers, plant hoppers, mealy bugs, whiteflies, psyllids, membracids. Another paper addresses the virus transmission characteristics of the mealy bugs during preliminary fasting or feeding, acquisition access time, post-acquisition fasting or feeding, and the inoculation access time. Other papers also discuss the involvement of insects in transmitting bacterial and fungal pathogens; the authors list unresolved issues such as the role of insects in overwintering of bacterial pathogens or the association of the fungus with a particular vector. One author describes some suspected fungi transmission such as the pea stem necrosis virus, red clover necrotic mosaic virus, and the tomato bushy stunt virus. Another paper examines the fate of plant viruses in mite vectors and convectors particularly the viruses found in wheat, barley, or brome grass. Agriculturists, botanists, and researchers in the field of botany, conservation, and plant genealogy will find this book useful.
