This study was carried out to identify species belonging Thysanoptera in stone and pome fruit orchards the districts (Balya, Bandırma, Bigadiç, Burhaniye, Dursunbey, Erdek, Gönen, Havran, Kepsut Manyas) of Balıkesir Province, Turkey 2018 2019. The survey revealed 32 (thrips) species. Thrips were examined 9900 flowers, leaves, fruits from 198 during research. most widespread (total number sample...

The presence of the “pear thrips” Taeniothrips inconsequens has been cited in Argentina 1921 by Teresa Joan. This affected exports fruit tree propagation materials. However currently there is a concern about that citation because it was probably an incorrect identification thrips species. objective this work to confirm orchards Argentina. Fruit were sampled main producing areas A total 10,696 s...

We studied the relief of water stress associated with fruit thinning in pear (Pyrus communis L.) trees during drought to determine what mechanisms, other than stomatal adjustment, were involved. Combinations of control irrigation (equal to crop water use less effective rainfall) and deficit irrigation (equal to 20% of control irrigation), fruit load (unthinned and thinned to 40 fruits per tree)...

Rhagoletis juglandis Cresson is a specialist that deposits its eggs into the husks of developing walnut fruit. Like other walnut infesting ßies in the R. suavis group, R. juglandis actively superparasitizes its larval hosts. However, little is known regarding the degree to which hosts are reused and the ecological context under which host reuse occurs. This Þeld study examined the pattern of ho...

the purpose of this research was to assess the influence of several orchard systems involving trees trained to different leader numbers on growth, cropping, and fruit quality of two apple cultivars. the study was conducted during 1994-2007 at the fruit experimental station in samotwór, next to wrocław (south-western poland). one-year-old trees of ‘elstar’ and ‘jonagold’ cultivars on the m.9 roo...

Challenges concerning fruit trees and grapevines as long lived woody perennial crops require adapted biotechnological approaches, if solutions are to be found within a reasonable time frame. These challenges are represented by the need for correct identification of genetic resources, with the foreseen use either in conservation or in breeding programmes. Molecular markers provide most accurate ...

T recent discovery of light brown apple moth, a leafroller, in California may affect the management of fruit crops, and because it is a quarantine pest in some markets, the discovery has already had implications for domestic and export trade in produce and nursery stock. In New Zealand, light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), was first reported in 1891 ...
