Book excerpt: Dysmicoccus brevipes (Ckll.) is the predominant pineapple mealybug in South Africa, although Pseudococcus longispinus also occurs. For the purposes of this article only the former species will be considered. The pineapple mealybug is indigenous to Central and South America and is a pest of pineapples in most countries where the crop is grown. Mealybugs are found in all pineapple-growing areas in South Africa, but they are more of a problem in some areas, notably Zululand, than in others. Besides pineapples, other host plants include banana, sisal and several grass species, of which Panicum barbinode and Tricholaena rosea are rthemost important.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specific detection and absolute quantitation of PMWaV-2 in pineapple plant tissues using quantitative RT-PCR (TagManRTM) assays were achieved. Optimized primers and probe designs based on the PMWaV-2 CP sequence of the virus were efficient in the amplification and quantification of PMWa-2 infected plants. PMWaV-2 levels in pineapple varied depending on plant tissues sampled, presence or absence of MWP symptoms and mealybug feeding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the Horticultural Crops, Fruits and Vegetables (FV) are of primary - portance as the key source of essential components in an adequate and balanced human diet. FV have supported largely the daily food requirement of mankind since ages and even before man learned to grow cereal crops systematically. Over the years, growing FV has been the mainstay of rural economy and has emerged as an indispensable part of agriculture world over, offering farmers a wide range of crops in varied topography and climate. In certain parts of the world, FV are the major dietary staple. Apart from being a rich source of vitamins and minerals, this sector also contributes significantly in economy of the region or the nation. The increased income from per unit area of FV is far ahead and can not be compared with that of cereal crops. A recent survey by the Economist revealed that the world population has - creased by 90 % in the past 40 years while food production has increased only by 25 % per head. With an additional 1. 5 billion mouth to feed by 2020, farmers worldwide have to produce 39 % more. Looking at the load of the future food requirement, the global increased production of FV during last few years has absorbed the additional food requirement and accordingly the eating habits are also changing and shifting - wards more consumption of these commodities worldwide.
