pH, and total lime content were significantly greater in Cs, Cg, and Csg soils than in Ck soils. It can be concluded that adding worms and fertilizers into the soils may improve plant growth and prevent damage to plants caused by pests. ...
Damage to crops is caused through direct feeding on the sap, by mold growing on its honeydew, or by vectoring of disease-causing viruses [14,15], including the maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), barley yellow dwarf virus, sugarcane yellow leaf virus, potato virus Y, and maize chlorotic ...
Aphidsseem to find their way into every garden. They are small, soft-bodied insects that feed by sucking the nutrient-rich liquids out of plants. In large numbers, they can weaken plants significantly, harming flowers and fruit. Aphids multiply quickly, so getting them under control before repr...
Aphids can damage plants that harlequin beetles feed on Comparison Table In conclusion, pseudoscorpions and lady beetles play essential roles in the ecosystem and have different types of interactions with harlequin beetles. Understanding these relationships can help in managing pest populations and promotin...
muricata to control lepidopteran larvae, aphids and thrips, among others [2], [42]. These are just some of the reported traditional uses, but there are very many as has been enumerated by previous reviews [1], [7], [21], [22], including very many that have not yet been documented....
Plant physiology and structure are constantly changing according to internal and external factors. The study of plant water dynamics can give information on these changes, as they are linked to numerous plant functions. Currently, most of the methods use
Agricultural expansion at the cost of natural or semi-natural habitats is simplifying human-dominated landscapes. As croplands provide a large resource of food to herbivores, pest damage may increase, but such large-scale patterns across regions are litt
RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus-encoded suppressors of silencing counteract this defence system. In
(HGT). The movement of genetic material between organisms that does not flow from parent to offspring. Virulence The damage caused to the host due to infection by a parasite, often measured as a reduction in host fitness. Defensive symbiosis An interaction in which the symbiont protects the hos...
