Yield Loss in Garlic Caused by Leek yellow stripe virus Argentinean Isolate

Aphid Abundance on Cereals in Autumn Predicts Yield Losses Caused by Barley yellow dwarf virus.

ABSTRACT Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) damage to winter cereals and population dynamics of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi during fall were monitored in fields during 10 years at various locations in the northern half of France. Logistic regression was used to examine whether a simple risk probability algorithm based only on the autumnal population dynamics of R. padi can accurately predict yie...

Yield Loss in Soybean Caused by Heterodera glycines.

Yields of four soybean cultivars were measured for 4 years in a field infested with Heterodera glycines race 3 and in a field infested with H. glycines race 14. Cultivars included Hutcheson (susceptible to both races), Deltapine 415 (resistant to race 3 and susceptible to race 14), Asgrow 5979 (resistant to both races), and Harwig (resistant to both races as well as most other known races of H....

Assessment of Yield Loss in Rice due to Yellow Stem Borer, Scirpophaga incertulas, Using Simulation Models

The yield loss simulation (YLS) and the MACROS LIQ.CSM models were used to simulate the effect of stem borer damage at a detillering rate of 5, 15, 30, 60% at vegetative, panicle initiation and grain filing stages, on yield of rice cultivar?s Ratna. This stem borer damage during vegetative and panicle initiation stages was not simulated appropriately by both the models. Relatively MACROS simul...

The Global Trade in Fresh Produce and the Vagility of Plant Viruses: A Case Study in Garlic

As cuisine becomes globalized, large volumes of fresh produce are traded internationally. The potential exists for pathogens infecting fresh produce to hitchhike to new locations and perhaps to establish there. It is difficult to identify them using traditional methods if pathogens are novel, scarce, and/or unexpected. In an attempt to overcome this limitation, we used high-throughput sequencin...
