Combining reflective mulch and host plant resistance for sweetpotato whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) management in watermelon
A study was conducted to evaluate the use of reflective mulch and host plant resistance for the management of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus (Thunberg) Matsum & Nakai]. Whitefly abundance data were collected under both greenhouse (caged and uncaged) and field conditions. Consistently, a reflective mulc...
متن کاملAN EVALUATION OF WATERMELON (Citrullus spp.) GERMPLASM FOR ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF RESISTANCE TO THE TWOSPOTTED SPIDER MITE (Tetranychus urticae Koch)
Fourteen U.S plant introduction (PI) accessions of C. lanatus var. lanatus (4), C. lanatus var. citroides (5) C. colocynthis (5) and a known susceptible commercial cultivar 'Sugar Baby' were evaluated for resistance to the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, in a limited free-choice and free-choice bioassay under laboratory conditions. The limited free choice bioassay, involved ni...
متن کاملCharacterization of Watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus var . citroides ) Germplasm for Resistance to Root - knot Nematodes
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) cause extensive damage to watermelon ICitrz,llus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. lanatusl, and resistance to rootknot nematodes has not been identified in any watermelon cultivar. Twenty-six U.S. Plant Introductions (Pis) of Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. citroides (L. H. Bailey) Mansf., one P1 of C. lanatus var. lanatus, and three P...
متن کاملResistance of tomato genotypes to the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (West.) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).
The greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood, is the most common and abundant whitefly in Argentine horticultural greenhouse crops, especially in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Resistance in some wild tomato relatives, such as S. peruvianum, S. habrochaites and S. pennellii to the greenhouse whitefly has been described. The Mi gene confers effective resistance against several spe...
متن کاملHypoglycemic effects of Citrullus colocynthis roots.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of root of C. colocynthis on the biochemical parameters of normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal (120 mg/kg b.w.) injection of alloxan monohydrate for three days and the animals showing blood glucose level in the range of 175-300 mg/dL were selected for study. The blood glucose concentrations of...
