The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) MEAM1, is considered a serious pest of horticultural and many other crops. While eggplant (Solanum melongena) is one of the most favored host plants, the whiteflies exhibit preferences among different varieties. We hypothesized that certain morphological leaf characteristics of different varieties, like leaf trichome density, tri...

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...

this paper studies the modeling and optimization of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of eggplant production using artificial neural network and multi-objective genetic algorithm in guilan province of iran. results showed that the highest share of energy consumption belongs to diesel fuel (49.24%); followed by nitrogen (33.30%). the results indicated that a total energy input of 13910.67 ...

Disease susceptibility and genetic variability in 10 eggplant genotypes were studied after inoculating Phomopsis vexans under confined field conditions. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess genetic variation and relationships among eggplant genotypes. The disease index of leaves ranged 0.208-13.79%, while fruit infection ranged 2.15-42.76%. Two varieties, Dohazari...

Effect of some plant extracts against damping-off disease of some winter vegetable was studied in the net house. Seed treatment with neem leaf, garlic clove, allamonda leaf, ginger rhizome, kalijira seed, bel leaf, turmeric rhizome, katamehedi leaf and onion bulb were evaluated against damping-off, seed germination and growth characters of tomato, eggplant and chilli seedlings. All the treatmen...

Verticillium dahliae is a fungal pathogen that causes wilt disease in a wide range of host plants. Characterization of virulence, morphological, and molecular variations among V. dahliae isolates from different geographic origins is essential for any breeding program aimed at producing plant cultivars resistant to this disease. We characterized virulence variation among V. dahliae isolates...

This paper describes the design and development of harvesting system for the gantry system to harvest eggplants. For this purpose, the harvesting robot was successfully designed and fabricated for the gantry system to harvest eggplants. The operation of the harvester was controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Basically, the limit switches, DC motor, and relay are connected to the PL...

Eggpant (Solanum melongena L.) that are common in Indonesia are already known contain anthocyanins as antioxidants as well as a-glukosidase inhibitor that can inhibit the rise of blood glucose in diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to determine that the eggplant extract has antihyperglicemic effect and the effective dose as well. This was an experimental study with post test only control g...

Solanum melongena (eggplant) is one of the diversity of the Solanum family which is grown and widely spread in Indonesia and widely used by the community. This research explored the genetic diversity of four local Indonesian eggplant species namely leuca, tekokak, gelatik and kopek by using RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). The samples were obtained from Agricultural Technology Assessmen...
