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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the baseline susceptibility of potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), in the Pacific Northwest to insecticide exposure. Potato tuberworm (PTW) is a major economic pest in all major potato production areas of the world. Control through the use of insecticides is an effective, inexpensive, and therefore popular pest management method utilized by growers. In this study, the lethal concentrations and lethal times (LC and LT, respectively) were determined using potato leaf bioassays. The LC studies evaluated mortality levels after subjecting the neonate larvae to a range of concentrations of the insecticides methamidophos (Monitor), indoxacarb (Avaunt), spinetoram (Delegate), and esfenvalerate (Asana). Bioassays were evaluated at three and 24 hours after larvae were placed on treated leaf disk surfaces. The dose-response results for each insecticide were transformed to units of mass active ingredient (a.i.) per acre so that bioactivity could be compared to recommended product label application rates. LC50 values of 29.2 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre and 23.1 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre were estimated using probit analysis for 3- and 24-h exposures, respectively, of PTW larvae to methamidophos on treated leaf disks. PTW larvae responded to 3- and 24-h exposures of indoxacarb with estimated LC50 values of 1.43 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre and 0.026 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre, respectively. LC50 values of 2.84 x 10- 3 lb a.i./acre and 0.148 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre were estimated for 3- and 24-h exposures, respectively, of PTW larvae to spinetoram. LC50 response of PTW larvae to esfenvalerate following 3- and 24-h exposures was estimated to be 0.013 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre and 0.006 x 10-3 lb a.i./acre, respectively. The LC50 estimates for exposure of PTW larvae to all insecticides ranged from at least one order of magnitude to three orders of magnitude less than product label application rates. Larval mortality was observed at increasing time intervals of exposure to leaf disks treated with insecticides at rates equivalent to their estimated LC95. Larvae died within two hours after exposure to all insecticides, but onset of lethality varied somewhat among the tested compounds. Time to larval death was slowest for methamidophos exposure with estimated LT50 and LT95 of 75 min and 146 min, respectively. Indoxacarb results were similar to methamidophos with LT50 and LT95 values of 53 min and 159 min, respectively. Spinetoram caused mortality much faster than both indoxacarb and methamidophos. The LT50 and LT95 values were 26 min and 58 min, respectively. PTW larvae died most quickly following esfenvalerate exposures with estimated LT50 and LT95 values of 11 min and 25 min, respectively. Based on this study, low concentrations of esfenvalerate and spinetoram caused high levels of mortality in the shortest amount of time. Indoxacarb and methamidophos caused sufficient morality but were comparatively slower acting. To predict the persistence of bioactivity under field conditions, literaturederived half-lives for the four insecticides were used to model decline in mortality based on the dose-response data from the probit analyses. Methamidophos, indoxacarb, and esfenvalerate were predicted to cause 95-100% mortality for about five days after a theoretical application of the maximum recommended product label rate. In contrast, spinetoram associated mortality was predicted to decline to about 80% within two days after application.
