Abstract:
The glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood) is one of the most important U.K. pests. This phloem-feeding insect is a particular threat to glasshouse-grown crops, including the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Integrated Pest Management (IPM) involves applying a range of biological, cultural, physical and chemical control measures, with monitoring, to reduce pest and pathogen numbers on commercial crops below acceptable economic thresholds, with minimal environmental damage. Different IPM tools are used together to achieve an acceptable control level. Whilst IPM has been effec

Abstract:
The whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a serious pest of protected vegetable and ornamental crops in most temperate regions of the world. Neonicotinoids, pymetrozine (a feeding blocker), spiromesifen (a tetronic acid derivative), bifenthrin (a pyrethroid), and pyriproxyfen (a juvenile hormone mimic) are among the most important insecticides used to control this species. Bioassays were used to quantify responses of recently-collected strains of T. vaporariorum to three neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and acetamiprid), pymetrozine, spiromesifen, b

Carbond P has specifically been seen to increases P uptake and crop yields in soils low in P, although effectiveness in regards to soil organic matter is unknown. The objectives of these studies were to determine if the mode of action for these products is related to physiological response, to determine if Carbond P is toxic to plant roots when in dire

This project evaluated genetically modified Cavendish bananas and plantains for field and glasshouse resistance to banana bunchy top virus in Malawi in Africa, over a three-and-a-half-year period. The study identified several GM lines with significant resistance to the virus and provided a rare insight into virus-vector relations and the climate. The research showed that rigorous field assessment of GM plants for disease resistance is critical and that immunity to this virus will likely only be achieved using a multi-faceted resistance strategy.
