Effective Aerosol Treatment of Mould Mites and Onion Thrips in Tissue Culture
نویسنده
چکیده
Ethyl formate applied as an aerosol killed almost 100% of the mould mites (Tyrophagus putrescentiae) present in tissue culture tubs. Mite mortality showed dose responses to the chemical and mortality increased with duration of exposure. Other aerosol formulations, and vacuum and controlled atmosphere treatments were also tested but were not effective in controlling mites. Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) in open and closed tissue culture tubs were killed by ethyl formate, 65% and 85% CO2 atmospheres, or dichlorvos plus CO2 propellant. Further work is needed to define effective dose rates and exposure times and to determine the possible phytotoxicity of the aerosols to various plant species.

Monitoring and Controlling Mould Mites in Tissue Culture Facilities
Mould mite numbers were successfully monitored in tissue culture laboratories using black tape where numbers of mites were high. Natural diamite and Parafilm “M” were the best barriers for preventing mould mite contamination. Treating surfaces with a miticide-containing paint (Artilin 3A) or bendiocarp prevented mites from entering containers holding food suitable for mould mites. Mites were no...
متن کاملInvestigating the Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristics and Resistance to Thrips of Onion Genotypes
To evaluate quantitative and qualitative traits as well as thrips resistance of onion genotypes, an experiment was conducted at Behbahan Agricultural Research Station, Behbahan, Khuzestan, Iran from 2013 to 2015. The experiment was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Pesticide-treated and pesticide-free plots were considered as sub plots and ten oni...

Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind.) is one of the important factors which indirectly restrict the proper yield of onion (Allium cepa L.). Therefore, finding tolerant cultivars to onion thrips is important. Because of many small florets, cross pollination in onion which is a biennial plant by using polycross method for breeding is suitable and easy. To produce polycross seed, bulbs of 9 self poll...
متن کاملManaging Insecticide Resistance in Onions Thrips
Management of onion thrips continues to be a high pest priority for Wisconsin onion growers. In 2006 the hot and dry conditions experienced in mid-summer led to increased populations that were very difficult to control in some areas. Furthermore, many of the earlier registered products for control of onion thrips are loosing control efficacy. Onion thrips insensitivity to λ -cyhalothrin (Warrio...
