Developing Natural Pest Control Products for Turf
continued on page 4 The term allelopathy was first introduced in 1937 and refers to biochemical interactions among plants that alters plant growth, including those mediated by microorganisms. Allelopathy, besides including competition for resources among plants, is considered to be an important mechanism of plant interference caused by the addition of plant-produced toxins to the plant environm...
متن کاملDo Refuge Plants Favour Natural Pest Control in Maize Crops?
The use of non-crop plants to provide the resources that herbivorous crop pests' natural enemies need is being increasingly incorporated into integrated pest management programs. We evaluated insect functional groups found on three refuges consisting of five different plant species each, planted next to a maize crop in Lima, Peru, to investigate which refuge favoured natural control of herbivor...
متن کاملThe future of pest control and the pesticides industry
The pesticides industry needs to look differently from the existing basis that toxic materials are required in order to eliminate pests and weeds from food crops. New generation of pesticides will be motivated by a knowledge of metabolic pathways. The article reviews the effectiveness of several classes of natural pest control agents such as: pheromones, allelopathic chemicals, toxicants from t...
متن کاملTraditional and New Approaches to Irrigation Scheduling in Vegetable Crops
Intensive vegetable cropping systems use large amounts of water and nutrients. Excess application of water and nutrients results in economic losses (higher fertilizers and pumping costs) and contributes to nutrient leaching and environmental degradation. Increasing nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) should be a priority for sustainable horticulture. This increased NUE,...
