Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an important pest on onion and cabbage. Two reproductive modes--arrhenotoky and thelytoky--are found in this species and co-occur in the field. We compared life table traits between arrhenotokous and thelytokous T. tabaci on cabbage and onion. Experiments were conducted in cages to determine which reproductive mode is more compe...

An experiment was conducted to determine population changes and niche variation in the soil at two depths (0 to 20 cm and 20 to 40 cm) of Paratrichodorus minor and Belonolaimus longicaudatus populations following fumigation. Eight plots each of potato (Solanum tuberosum) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), fumigated with 1, 3-dichloropropene or nonfumigated, were established. Eight p...

Monitoring of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L) population on cabbage and Chinese cabbage over the past eight years has indicated that heavy rains from June to September limit the population of the insect. Therefore, during the dry period when diamondback moth is a serious pest, water was applied by sprinkler system placed 1.5 m over the cabbage crop rather than by traditional furrow irr...

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that severely impact plant growth and development. In this study, we investigated the physiological and transcriptomic responses of Chinese cabbage "Qingmaye" to salt stress, a main variety in North China. Our results showed that the growth and photosynthesis of Chinese cabbage were significantly inhibited by salt treatment. However, as a glycoph...

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can promote the dissolution of insoluble phosphorus (P) in soil, enhancing the availability of soluble P. Thus, their application can reduce the consumption of fertilizer and aid in sustainable agricultural development. From the rhizosphere of Chinese cabbage plants grown in Yangling, we isolated a strain of PSB (YL6) with a strong ability to dissolve P and...

The chapter presents previous field and laboratory investigations of cabbage flea beetles (Phyllotreta spp.) and cabbage stink bugs (Eurydema spp.) interactions with different Bras‐ sica crops in Slovenia. The special emphasis is given to an influence of different glucosi‐ nolates on injuries caused by mentioned economically important two genera of insect pests. In the study, we found out that ...

The aim of this study was to determine why food poisoning bacteria attached to cut cabbage are not efficiently disinfected by sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Pretreatment of shredded cabbage with diethyl ether definitely decreased the survival numbers of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. after disinfection with 100 ppm of NaClO. The density of E. coli O157:H7 at the cut edge of a cabbag...

an experiment was conducted at zahak research station in zabol in 1996-97 to determine the best method of planting and plant density for mixed culture of cucumber and eggplant. in this experiment, yields of two crops were compared in individual and mixed cultures. in both systems the distances between two plant were 25 and 50 cm, and in the mixed culture eggplants were planted in the opposite o...

The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the demand pattern vegetables (water spinach, cassava leaves, eggplant) factors that affected by warteg restaurants in Bandar Lampung City. location was determined purposely (purposive method). number respondents were 50 restaurants, taken proportional random sampling methods. Data collected from December 2020 February 2021, interview techni...

Foliar Micro-nutrition is the application of micronutrients to plants by spraying directly onto their leaves. Although it not economical spray macronutrients and through foliar spraying, researchers prefer soil for applications micronutrients. Several researches have demonstrated that method which used deliver required micronutrient in appropriate concentration improve nutrient status along wit...
