Download or read book Effects of Environmental Variation on Potato Psyllid Vectors and a Bacterial Plant Pathogen written by Abigail Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental context affects ecological communities across all scales, from plants to animals to microorganisms. Studying how the environment effects plant-vector-pathogen systems increases our understanding of vector and pathogen movement across landscapes and vector-host interactions. This dissertation addresses these questions within a local crop system. The first chapter is an observational study of population dynamics of an agricultural pest and pathogen vector, the potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli Sulc) of potatoes in the Columbia River Basin. Growers have increased pesticide use to control for outbreaks of B. cockerelli and it's associated pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter psyllarous, which causes the disease known as zebra chip. This study found that the population dynamics were closely tied with temperature, and that winters with extended cold periods could decrease overwintering survival and decrease population abundance in successive years. The second chapter uses sampling data for four common potato pests collected from 2007-2017: (i) potato tuberworm (Phthorimaea operculella Zeller), (ii) beet leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus Baker), (iii) green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer), and (iv) potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli Sulc). An interpolation model was created to map predicted weekly pest abundance across the entire sampling region and validated to quantify its efficacy. Three data transformations, five power parameters, and three nearest neighbor parameters were tested to quantify sensitivity and determine best fit for each insect. The model performs with a high degree of precision and is robust to changes in parameter, due a wider range of spatial autocorrelation than initially assumed. The third chapter tests the precision of a phenological model for B. cockerelli development against field data. This model is also precise enough for use in guiding management decision. Finally, chapter four tests the effect of water stress on pathogen transmission success, and studies potential chemical and physical mechanisms that may drive that interaction. While we found clear evidence that water stress is associated with decreased pathogen titer, more work needs to be done to untangle the overlapping chemical and physical plant responses. This dissertation has led to the creation and improvement of the potato decision aid tool and will inform future research into the B. cockerelli-Liberibacter system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised and updated second edition of Insect Pests of Potato now includes an opening section with a basic overview of agronomic and economic issues as they relate to potato production. It also features a new section that reviews potato production, as well as problems caused by insect pests and solutions to these problems, in all major potato-growing regions of the world. Further, a new section discusses theoretical foundations of potato pest management and includes chapters on ecological theory, evolutionary theory, and a case study on their applications to elucidate differences between Eastern and Western populations of Colorado potato beetle in North America. There is also a new chapter on the foundations of integrated pest management and their applications in controlling insect pests. The sections on the biology of main pests and on control methods now feature the latest information, including emphasis on recent advances in molecular biology and genomics. Information on the use of dsRNA technology for pest control is also included, as are new chapters on potato ladybirds and on hemipterous pests other than aphids and psyllids. This second edition provides improved integration and logical connections among chapters and expanded geographic scope of coverage making it the ideal reference on the topic. Fully revised and updated with new sections on potato-growing regions and theoretical foundations of potato pest management using ecological theory, evolutionary theory and relevant case study insights Contains improved integration and logical connections among chapters, expanded geographic scope of coverage, and scientific advances Emphasizes recent advances in molecular biology and genomics, including the use of dsRNA technology for pest control

Download or read book Sustainable Management of Potato Pests and Diseases written by Swarup Kumar Chakrabarti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the important diseases and pests of potato which are of global significance. The pests and diseases in potato lead to huge economic losses by reducing the yield and quality of the produce. This book describes major pests and diseases in detail with particular emphasis on the latest developments with respect to their biology, ecology, and management. It highlights the importance of virus infection for seed potato production and diagnostic symptoms, along with management guidelines. The book brings forth tips for judicious use of pesticides for sustainable potato production and management of pesticide resistance. Use of novel approaches such as RNA interference, genome editing, and other genomic resources for drug designing in diseases and pest management is also emphasized in the book. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, extension workers, potato growers, and policy makers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture and plant pathology. National and international agricultural scientists and policy makers will also find this to be a useful read.

Book excerpt: Handbook of Vegetable Pests, Second Edition, provides two types of diagnostic aids: the easy-to-use "guides to pests of vegetable crops", which guides the reader to the most likely pests of each vegetable crop based on the portion of the plant attacked and the category of pest; and the more technical dichotomous keys for identification of many of the difficult-to-identify species. It includes over 300 common and occasional pest species, detailing the geographic distribution of vegetable pests, host plant relationships, natural enemies, damage, life history, and methods of control and damage prevention. Presents a current and comprehensive synthesis of vetted information for the support of both commercial and home vegetable production Includes over 300 common and occasional pest species, or species complexes, known to affect vegetables grown in the United States and Canada Summarizes the important findings of the last 150 years Provides citations to the original literature
