Book Effects of Farm Management Practices on Navel Orangeworm

Download or read book Effects of Farm Management Practices on Navel Orangeworm written by Cole Dutter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Central Valley produces the majority of California almonds. Navel Orangeworm, Anyelois Transitella (Walker), is the most critical pest of almonds in California. Management of Navel Orangeworm is primarily accomplished by cultural practices of mummy shaking and early harvest. Research on management practices that control Navel Orangeworm have been limited by the number of studies, replicates within the studies, the scope of the replicates and examined factors of control. This study looked at the effectiveness of multiple farm management practices on Navel Orangeworm, using egg counts as an indicator of pest population pressure. Sixty farms (11 organic, 49 conventional) were monitored from May 1st to October 5th in 2012. Egg counts were then analyzed by farm type, distance from organic farms, direction to organic farms, management practices and multiple environmental factors. This study found that there was no difference in egg counts between farm types, egg count differences were not correlated with the trapping distance, and nine management practices and environmental factors were identified as significant drivers of orchard egg counts. There were significant differences between farms as the number of chemical applications increased, and there was no significant difference in the percent of inedible nuts between organic and conventional farms. This study revealed that farmers who sprayed less for Navel Orangeworm, used less potent pesticides, did not use miticides and fungicides and mowed or disked their mummy nuts tended to have lower egg counts within their orchards.

Book Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts

Download or read book Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts written by D. J. Boethal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts attempts to present the current status of pest management programs in orchard ecosystems. The book is a collection of papers from a symposium convened on the subject for the 1977 National Meeting of the Entomological Society of America and invitational papers on commodities not covered during the symposium. In recent years, books have appeared on "integrated pest management (IPM)"; however, most of these have concentrated on field crop IPM with an occasional chapter on fruits. No publication presently exists which brings together information on the pest management programs currently being conducted on the major nut crops, almonds, pecans and walnuts. Because it is the first treatment for almonds and walnuts, the authors of these chapters have attempted not only to present the current IPM technology but the historical data which led to the contemporary programs. Two chapters appear on pecan IPM. The first concentrates on the development of a management program for the pecan weevil, the key arthropod pest of pecans, while the second discusses the implementation of pilot pecan IPM programs in two southeastern states. The latter chapter illustrates that even with a limited data bank, the pesticide load in pecan orchards can be reduced by the adoption of the IPM approach to pest control.

Book Handbook of Pest Management in Organic Farming

Download or read book Handbook of Pest Management in Organic Farming written by Vincenzo Vacante and published by CABI. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive reference covering pest management in organic farming in major crops of the world. General introductory chapters explore the management of crops to prevent pest outbreaks, plant protection tools in organic farming, and natural enemies and pest control. The remaining chapters are crop-based and discuss geographic distribution, economic importance and key pests. For each pest the fundamental aspects of its bio-ecology and the various methods of control are presented. Understanding of the scientific content is facilitated with practical advice, tables and diagrams, helping users to apply the theories and recommendations. This is an essential resource for researchers and extension workers in crop protection, integrated pest management and biocontrol, and organic farming systems.

Book Pheromone Communication in Moths

Download or read book Pheromone Communication in Moths written by Jeremy D. Allison and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common among moths is a mate-finding system in which females emit a pheromone that induces males to fly upwind along the pheromone plume. Since the chemical pheromone of the domesticated silk moth was identified in 1959, a steady increase in the number of moth species whose pheromone attractants have been identified now results in a rich base for review and synthesis. Pheromone Communication in Moths summarizes moth pheromone biology, covering the chemical structures used by the various lineages, signal production and perception, the genetic control of moth pheromone traits, interactions of pheromones with host-plant volatiles, pheromone dispersal and orientation, male pheromones and courtship, and the evolutionary forces that have likely shaped pheromone signals and their role in sexual selection. Also included are chapters on practical applications in the control and monitoring of pest species as well as case studies that address pheromone systems in a number of species and groups of closely allied species. Pheromone Communication in Moths is an invaluable resource for entomologists, chemical ecologists, pest-management scientists, and professionals who study pheromone communication and pest management.
