This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this research were to evaluate management options for tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), and reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis (Linford & Oliverira), in cotton productions systems. When evaluating tillage practices for pest control, conservational tillage reduced thrips densities and damage, while the impact on nematode densities is less understood and in this study had no impact. Insecticide seed treatments remain a vital resource for controlling thrips in Mid-South cotton production systems. When incorporating an early season herbicide application for weed control, systems with an insecticide seed treatment generally tolerated herbicide injury better than those with early season stress from thrips and nematodes. When using foliar applications as an alternative option for thrips management, early season automatic applications at the cotyledon stage followed by one or two sequential applications provided similar efficacy to the insecticide seed treatment. For reniform nematode management, 1, 3-dichloropropene reduced densities lower than that of the untreated control or aldicarb; however, depending on environmental conditions this practice may not result in yield increases great enough to warrant the cost of application. These data highlight the importance of effective control of thrips whether it be via at-planting or foliar applications. 1, 3-dichloropropene reduced nematode densities and is an effective option in nematode management; however, nematodes are a stress pathogen and the ability to minimize other seasonal stresses, such as water stress, will determine if a nematicide application may be needed. While environmental conditions may be optimal to allow for plant recoverability, effective early season pest management decreases the potential for delayed crop maturity which could lead to increased input cost or reduced yield later in the season.

Download or read book Seasonal Occurrence and Epidemiology of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Frankliniella Fusca Hinds Thysanoptera Thiripidae with Emphasis on 3 Peanut Genotypes in North Carolina written by and published by . This book was released on 1904 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the research has been to further the understanding of the seasonal occurrence of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and the insect vector, Frankliniella fusca, in relation to North Carolina peanut production. Emphasis was placed on 3 Virginia-type peanut genotypes, NC-9, NC-V11, and NC-12C, which were included in field and greenhouse experiments to determine relative disease and thrips levels and their interactions. These are components of a larger strategic goal to develop management strategies that can minimize future impacts of TSWV and be compatible with peanut production in North Carolina. Research was conducted to determine the winter, spring, and summer occurrence of F. fusca in NC peanut fields. Thrips movement in spring was significantly influenced by prevailing wind direction. No thrips were collected on sticky traps during days when maximum temperature did not exceed 18.7 C.F. fusca, caged with TSWV infected peanut plants in August, 1996 and sampled in March, 1997, were analyzed for the presence of TSWV by ELISA. A single thrips tested positive for the virus. In another experiment, three Virginia-type peanut genotypes were monitored for the incidence of TSWV symptoms and the presence of F. fusca at 3 locations in NC's peanut producing area. Overall disease incidence at the 3 locations was 6%. Of the genotypes, NC-9 ranked the highest in disease incidence (7%), followed by the genotypes NC-12C (6%), and NC-V11 (5%). F. fusca counts were greatest on NC-V11, followed by NC-9 and NC-12C. A comparison of the survival and reproductive success of F. fusca on TSWV infected and uninfected plants of the 3 genotypes was conducted under greenhouse conditions in NC. Effects of genotype and virus by genotype interaction were not significant. However, TSWV infected plants had significantly fewer adult and larval F. fusca than did uninfected plants.

Download or read book Sustainable Management of Arthropod Pests of Tomato written by Waqas Wakil and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Management of Arthropod Pests of Tomato provides insight into the proper and appropriate application of pesticides and the integration of alternative pest management methods. The basis of good crop management decisions is a better understanding of the crop ecosystem, including the pests, their natural enemies, and the crop itself. This book provides a global overview of the biology and management of key arthropod pests of tomatoes, including arthropod-vectored diseases. It includes information that places tomatoes in terms of global food production and food security, with each pest chapter including the predators and parasitoids that have specifically been found to have the greatest impact on reducing that particular pest. In-depth coverage of the development of resistance in tomato plants and the biotic and abiotic elicitors of resistance and detailed information about the sustainable management of tomato pests is also presented. Provides basic biological and management information for arthropod pests of tomato from a global perspective, encompassing all production types (field, protected, organic) Includes chapters on integrated management of tomato pests and specific aspects of tomato pest management, including within protected structures and in organic production Presents management systems that have been tested in the real-world by the authors of each chapter Fully illustrated throughout with line drawings and color plates that illustrate key pest and beneficial arthropods associated with tomato production around the world
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.
