After quantifying trichome abundance on each of these four plants, we suggest that proprieties of the plant surface, specifically trichomes, are a key factor contributing to reduced efficacy of E. balteatus as a biological agent for aphid control on tomatoes....
A Comparison of Dilute and Concentrate Sprays for Control of Insects of Potato and Tomato Reductions of aphids and serpentine leaf mines on potatoes and of leaf mines and worm injured fruit on tomatoes were achieved almost as well with concentrate as with dilute spray mixtures. Concentrate sprays ...
The disease can be very devastating in commercially grown tomatoes where yield losses may exceed 50% in heavily infected fields. The extent of loss depends on environmental conditions, date of disease onset, and effectiveness of fungicide control. Hot, dry days with an occasional rainstorm are ...
Aldicarb was used in the European Community in granular formulation as an insecticide, nematicide and acaricide to control a wide range of insects, nematodes and aphids over a wide range of crops, including fruits (citrus, grape, strawberries, bananas), tomatoes, carrots, parsnips, brassica roots...
Efficacy of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma asperellum against Pythium aphanidermatum in tomatoes. Biol. Control 2015, 90, 92–95. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Bennett, A.J.; Mead, A.; Whipps, J.M. Performance of carrot and onion seed primed with beneficial microorganisms in glasshouse and...
Likewise, for a α-dioxygenase upregulated in tomato by potato aphid, (Macrosiphum euphorbiae Thomas), the expression level was shown to correlate to numbers of potato aphids in tomatoes [18]. The present study is based on the similar assumption, i.e., that genes upregulated by aphids ...
NemAttack Steinernema feltiae Beneficial Nematodes are live microscopic organisms (non-segmented round worms) that occur naturally in soil throughout the world. The beneficial nematodes we sell are parasitic to insect pests that typically have a developi
Aphids are especially attracted to mustard andnasturtium. Plant these near more valuable plants as traps for the aphids. The aphids will likely go for these plants before your prized tomatoes. (Check your trap plants regularly to keep aphid populations from jumping to your valued plants.) ...
“Once the whiteflies fed on the tomatoes and ingested the plant-produced RNA, their BtPMaT1 gene was silenced, causing 100% mortality of the insect, but the genetic manipulation had no impact on the survival of other insects that were tested.” With focused efforts to produce genetically ...
In addition, the ERF TF Pti5 exhibits increased expression when confronted with a potato aphid infestation., and silencing of the PTI5 gene has been shown to reduce aphid resistance in tomatoes [14]. Nevertheless, as of our present understanding, there is a dearth of available data regarding ...
