ABSTRACT The small tomato fruit borer Neoleucinodes elegantalis is a pest of wild and cultivated solanaceous economic importance, such as tomatoes, eggplant, peppers scarlet eggplant. We compared the development, survival reproduction N. in Solanaceae alternative hosts absence plants field. development time was significantly affected by host plant longer larvae feeding on Survival immature stag...

the beet armyworm spodoptera exigua (hübner) is a serious and economically important pest of solanaceous crops worldwide. the nutritional indices of this pest on three host plants including pepper capsicum frutescens, eggplant solanum melongena and tomato solanum lycopersicum were determined under laboratory conditions at 26 ± 1 °c, 60 ± 5% rh and 16: 8 (l: d) h. the highest relative consumptio...

During winter 2020-2021, a severe virus-like disease outbreak was observed in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) hybrids ‘Monarca’ (F1) and ‘Angela’ growing under protected conditions Heraklion, Crete, Greece. In three greenhouses, the percentage of infected plants reached 100% leading to crop abandonment. Symptoms included leaf mottling yellowing accompanied with plant stunting apical necrosis. E...

The parasitism efficiency of a parasitoid largely depends on its host location and stinging behaviour. This study aimed to assess the behaviour Diglyphus isaea larvae some selected plants. Three plants, including tomato, eggplant, pepper, were evaluated for their influence D. isaea's results showed that was significantly influenced by plant. highest frequency observed tomato followed eggplant p...

The results of determining the application dose liquid organic fertilizer “Efflurost” and its effect on economically valuable indicators sweet pepper eggplant, agrochemical parameters soil are presented. positive vegetable crops (sweet eggplant) has been established. optimal rates for is 1:10 dilution 1: 5 which bring to yield enhancement marketable products by 10.6 t / ha 27.2 respectively. So...

This study was conducted for molecular and morphological characterization of 28 local eggplant genotypes (so-called “Yamula” eggplant) collected from Kayseri province, 3 Kemer eggplant, 1 Manisa genotype, commonly cultivated in Turkey. Molecular analyses were carried out with the use 10 ISSR SRAP primers 30 characteristics. Morphological revealed nearest as ERU 3006 - 3007. The polymorphism rat...

Scarlet (Solanum aethiopicum) and gboma (S. macrocarpon) eggplants are important vegetables in Sub-Saharan Africa. Few studies have been made on these crops regarding the diversity of phenolic content and their biological activity. We have studied the reducing activity, the chlorogenic acid and other phenolic acid contents in a collection of 56 accessions of scarlet eggplant, including the four...

Heterosis (Or hybrid vigor) results in a hybrid’s phenotypic superiority over its founder parents for quantitative and qualitative traits. Hybrid vigor is defined by mechanisms such as dominant complementation, over-dominance, epistasis. Eggplant, originated from India, the most important crop among solanaceous vegetables of world. The improvement work was concentrated several organizations wit...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is the third most important vegetable in Asia and of considerable importance Mediterranean belt. Although global eggplant production has been increasing recent years, productivity limited due to insects, diseases, abiotic stresses. Genetic engineering offers new traits eggplant, such as seedless parthenocarpic fruits, varieties adapted extreme climatic events (i.e.,...

African eggplant, a traditional and important nutrient-dense crop to Tanzania’s nutrition food security. However, yields remain low as result of sub-optimal irrigation fertilizer practices. To reduce the yield gap, randomized split-plot design set up with main nitrogen (N) treatments sub-factor. The regimes were 100 % (I100), 80 (I80) 60 (I60) water requirements whilst levels 250 kg N/ha (F100)...
