متن کاملEffect of sugar spraying on host plant resistance to western flower thrips in tomato
Sugar spraying can cause induced plant resistance. In this study we investigated the effects of sugar spraying on the resistance to western flower thrips, WFT, Frankliniella occidentalis on tomato. We tested three different sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose, at four concentrations: 0, 1, 10 and 100 ppm, to induce resistance of the cultivated tomato (var. Moneymaker). Bioassays conducted 2 w...
متن کاملPeritoneal Equilibration Test in Costa Rica: Discrepancies from Other Populations
Objective. Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is a kidney replacement therapy that has been recently incorporated in developing countries. We aim to establish our reference values, to compare them with the original and the Mexican population, and to associate some variables with the type of peritoneal transport. Methods. Thirty peritoneal equilibration tests (PET) were performed. ...
متن کاملCan Mass Trapping Reduce Thrips Damage and Is It Economically Viable? Management of the Western Flower Thrips in Strawberry
The western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous insect pest that causes bronzing to fruit of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa). The main aim of this study was to test whether mass trapping could reduce damage and to predict whether this approach would be economically viable. In semi-protected strawberry crops, mass trapping...
متن کاملInfluence of Prey Availability and Induced Host-plant Resistance on Omnivory by Western Flower Thrips
Theory predicts that the balance of nutritional needs, food availability, and the quality of particular food items are important factors in the feeding decisions of omnivorous animals. In this study we investigate factors that affect the feeding decisions of an omnivorous thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) that eats both animal prey and plant foliage. In the presence of prey (mite eggs), adult...
