Book Synopsis Thrips Biology and Management by : Bruce L. Parker
Download or read book Thrips Biology and Management written by Bruce L. Parker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thrips (fhysanoptera) are very small insects, widespread throughout the world with a preponderance of tropical species, many temperate ones, and even a few living in arctic regions. Of the approximately 5,000 species so far identified, only a few hundred are crop pests, causing serious damage or transmitting diseases to growing crops and harvestable produce in most countries. Their fringed wings confer a natural ability to disperse widely, blown by the wind. Their minute size and cryptic behavior make them difficult to detect either in the field or in fresh vegetation transported during international trade of vegetables, fruit and ornamental flowers. Many species have now spread from their original natural habitats and hosts to favorable new environments where they often reproduce rapidly to develop intense damaging infestations that are costly to control. Over the past decade there have been several spectacular examples of this. The western flower thrips has expanded its range from the North American continent to Europe, Australia and South Africa. Thrips palmi has spread from its presumed origin, the island of Sumatra, to the coast of Florida, and threatens to extend its distribution throughout North and South America. Pear thrips, a known orchard pest of Europe and the western United States and Canada has recently become a major defoliator of hardwood trees in Vermont and the neighboring states. Local outbreaks of other species are also becoming problems in field and glasshouse crops as the effectiveness of insecticides against them decline.

Book Synopsis Effect of Spray Volume and Application Frequency on Insecticide Efficacy Against Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella Occidentalis) and Citrus Mealybug (Planococcus Citri) Under Greenhouse Conditions by : Devin Radosevich
Download or read book Effect of Spray Volume and Application Frequency on Insecticide Efficacy Against Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella Occidentalis) and Citrus Mealybug (Planococcus Citri) Under Greenhouse Conditions written by Devin Radosevich and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), and citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), are major insect pests of greenhouse-grown horticultural crops. Both insect pests cause direct and indirect damage by feeding on plant leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits, which can lead to greenhouse producers experiencing significant economic losses. Insecticides are the primary management strategy used against these insect pests. Experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions to determine the effect of spray volume and application frequency on insecticide efficacy against citrus mealybug on coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides) and transvaal daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) plants and western flower thrips on transvaal daisy cut flowers. Three different spray volumes, two application frequencies (one or two applications), and three insecticides, each with a different mode of action, were evaluated for each insect pest. In the citrus mealybug experiments, the insecticides acetamiprid, flonicamid, and cyfluthrin were used. The 75 mL spray volume consistently resulted in a higher mean citrus mealybug mortality than the 15 or 25 mL spray volumes. In two of the spray volume experiments, each spray volume resulted in mean citrus mealybug mortalities that were significantly different from each other. Mean percent citrus mealybug mortality was significantly higher after two insecticide applications (51.2% in the second experiment and 42.7% in the third experiment) than after one insecticide application (40.3% in the second experiment and 36.1% in the third experiment). Overall, acetamiprid was more effective against citrus mealybugs, based on percent citrus mealybug mortality, than flonicamid or cyfluthrin. Acetamiprid applied at 75 mL resulted in >70% mean citrus mealybug mortality in three of the spray volume experiments. In contrast, flonicamid and cyfluthrin each resulted in 50% mean citrus mealybug mortality in all experiments. In the western flower thrips experiments, the insecticides spinosad, chlorfenapyr, and flonicamid were used. In general, mean western flower thrips adult mortality increased as the spray volume of each insecticide increased. Application frequency affected western flower thrips adult mortality with spinosad resulting in 100% mortality and chlorfenapyr resulting in 98% mortality after two applications. Mean western flower thrips adult mortality for spinosad was >95% whereas chlorfenapyr was >67% across all experiments. In general, the mean percent western flower thrips adult mortality for flonicamid ranged between 50% and 80%. Therefore, based on percent mortality, flonicamid was less effective against western flower thrips adults than spinosad or chlorfenapyr. Results from this study emphasize the importance of operational factors, especially spray volume and application frequency, in effectively managing insect pests. However, the effect of host plant architecture on spray volume and application frequency needs to be investigated. Proper use of insecticides against insect pests can reduce insecticide inputs and costs associated with labor. Citrus mealybugs and western flower thrips can be effectively managed using designated spray volumes and application frequencies, which will increase pest mortality and improve the suppression of pest populations.
Download or read book The Potato Crop written by Hugo Campos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security.
Download or read book Sucking Pests of Crops written by Omkar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sucking pests are most notorious group of pests for agricultural crops. Unlike most pests with chewing mouth parts, sucking pests cause more severe damage to the crops and are complex to get identified until advanced stages of infection. Not only is this late detection detrimental to their effective control, sucking pests also often cause fungal growth and virus transmission. The book emphasizes on sucking pests of most major crops of India. It aims to reflect Indian scenario before the international readership. This book complies comprehensive information on sucking pests of crops and brings the attention of the readers to this multiple damage causing insect complex. The chapters are contributed by highly experienced Indigenous experts from Universities & ICAR institutes, and book collates useful content for students and young researchers in plant pathology, entomology and agriculture.
