Potato has become one of the primary cash crops in the arid region of the Loess Plateau. However, what and how cereal crops to rotate with potato is better for the farmer’s income and environment is unclear now. 11 potato based rotation systems were simulated in Yulin, using EPIC model based on local information. Results showed 1) Though mean potato yield decreased from 6.84 to 5.38 t/hm, the m...

A commentary on Invasion of shoot apical meristems by Chrysanthemum stunt viroid differs among Argyranthemum cultivars Given that they do not encode proteins, viroid RNAs are extremely dependent on host factors for completing their infection cycle. This cycle consists of: (i) access to the organelle wherein they are replicated, the nucleus in the family Pospiviroidae (type member potato spindle...

Kepok banana (Musa acuminata x Musa balbisiana) can be grown in a wide area of Indonesia and is still cultivated regularly rural areas. The need for commercial-quality seedlings an obstacle to supporting export success. Seed propagation using micropropagation techniques alternative developed order meet the needs appropriate, high-quality, potential seeds high productivity. use growth regulators...

The Colorado potato beetle [Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)] is a destructive pest of the cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in northern latitudes. Combining resistance mechanisms of leptine glycoalkaloids and glandular trichomes with the synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) cry3A gene in potato may be an effective strategy for controlling the Colorado ...

Viruses are responsible for more than 50% of annual potato tuber yield losses and cause great economic damage. The traditional Croatian cultivar ‘Brinjak’ is important local growers because its economically profitable production as a gene pool future breeding programs. However, the full genetic potential cannot be exploited due to virus infection. In this study, we attempted eliminate M (PVM) S...

Naive mated female cabbage looper moths, Trichoplusia ni Hübner, responded in a flight tunnel to potted potato plants ( Solanum tuberosum ). Percentages of moths attracted to uninjured potato plants, mechanically-damaged potato plants, and potato plants treated with regurgitant from larvae of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, were similar, indicating no effect of plant ...

A nationwide survey was performed to investigate the current incidence of viral diseases in Korean sweet potatoes for germplasm and growing fields from 2011 to 2014. A total of 83.8% of the germplasm in Korea was infected with viruses in 2011. Commercial cultivars that were used to supply growing fields were infected at a rate of 62.1% in 2012. Among surveyed viruses, the incidence of five Poty...

effects of different paclobutrazol concentrations (0, 250, 350 and 450 mgl-1) and plantlet density (80, 100 and 120 plantlet/m2) on minituber production per plantlet in potato cultivar ‘sante’ were investigated in a factorial experiment based upon a randomized complete block design of 4 replications. paclobutrazol (cultar with 250 g/l of active ingredient) was used as foliar application at earl...
