Compatibility of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana with Some Fungicides Used in California Strawberry
INTRODUCTION Several arthropod pests infest strawberry crop in California and cause a significant yield loss according to Zalom, Bolda, Dara, and Joseph [1]. Strawberry is an important commercial crop and the annual report from California Department of Pesticide Regulations [2] indicates that large quantities of acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are applied to manage a variet...
متن کاملVisible/near infrared reflectance (VNIR) spectroscopy for detecting twospotted spider mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) damage in strawberries.
The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is among the most economically important pests in strawberries (Fragaria spp.). As T. urticae feeds, it ingests mesophyll cells that contain pigments essential for physiologic function and alters radiant energy use of the leaf tissue, severely compromising plant health and productivity. In our study, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the v...
متن کاملReproductive Refractoriness in the Western Tarnished Plant Bug (Hemiptera: Miridae)
Adult Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae), major crop pests of the southwesternUnitedStates, canmate repeatedlyduring their lives, potentiallyenhancing the lifetimeÞtness ofboth sexes.However, theperiodicityofmating and its regulation in this species is poorlyunderstood. In this study the postmating refractory period for both sexes is described. Males were found to have a median delay of...
متن کاملArthropod Pests and Plant Diseases
Research has concluded that global warming will likely increase abundance and occurrence of insect pests and plant diseases in agricultural systems. Most of the evidence cited for this increase is based on either empirically derived information, simulation models developed from laboratory observations and/or environmental extremes that resulted in pest outbreaks. While these phenomena can help ...
متن کاملDiet Selection Exhibited by Juvenile and Adult Lifestages of the Omnivores Western Tarnished Plant Bug, Lygus hesperus and Tarnished Plant Bug, Lygus lineolaris
Lygus hesperus Knight and Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Heteroptera: Miridae) are economically important plant bugs on many crops worldwide. However, these omnivores are also facultative predators on a wide variety of insects. This study was conducted to quantify and compare herbivory and carnivory exhibited among different lifestages of these two insect pests. The feeding activity of...
