Mulches reduce aphid-borne viruses and whiteflies in cantaloupe
A viruses and silverleaf whitefly can completely devastate cantaloupe crops, causing serious economic losses to growers. The California Melon Research Advisory Board (2003) lists the management and control of aphid-borne viruses and whitefly as a top pest-management research priority. At the UC Kearney Research and Extension Center (KREC), we studied the use of reflective plastic mulch and stra...
متن کاملPEST MANAGEMENT Management of Aphid-Borne Viruses and Bemisia argentifolii (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) in Zucchini Squash by Using UV Reflective Plastic and Wheat Straw Mulches
Plastic UV reßective mulch (metalized mulch) and wheat straw mulch delayed colonizationbyBemisia argentifoliiBellows&Perring and the incidenceof aphid-borneviruses in zucchini squash. No insecticides were used in either mulch treatment. The mulches were compared with a preplant treatment of imidacloprid and an untreated, unmulched control. In 2000, yield ofmarketable fruit in the plastic and st...
متن کاملTransmitting Plant Viruses Using Whiteflies
Whiteflies, Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae, Bemisia tabaci, a complex of morphologically indistinquishable species(5), are vectors of many plant viruses. Several genera of these whitefly-transmitted plant viruses (Begomovirus, Carlavirus, Crinivirus, Ipomovirus, Torradovirus) include several hundred species of emerging and economically significant pathogens of important food and fiber crops (reviewed b...
متن کاملdistribution of three important aphid borne canola viruses in golestan province
turnip mosaic virus (tumv), cauliflower mosaic virus (camv) and beet western yellow virus (bwyv) are considered as the most important viruses of canola, worldwide. in order to determine the distribution of these viruses in golestan province, samples from three important canola growing areas of the province were collected during 2008 and 2009. the randomly collected samples were tested for the p...
متن کاملMitigating epidemics caused by non-persistently transmitted aphid-borne viruses: the role of the pliant environment.
Using Soybean mosaic virus as a model system, the rate, magnitude and timing of epidemics caused by non-persistently transmitted, aphid-borne viruses are examined under various field conditions. Emphasis is placed on the behavioural responses of vectors to environmental cues, although all three biotic components (host plant, vector and virus) are considered. Both single and double manipulations...
