Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) is native to South America but has expanded its range and invaded many regions of the world, primarily on flowers a lesser extent horticultural product shipments. As result initial invasion into an area, damage caused usually significant not necessarily sustained. Currently, it economic pest in selected world. Adults cause by puncturing abaxial adaxial leaf surfaces for feeding egg laying sites. Larvae mine parenchyma tissues which can lead leaves drying...
Abstract Comparative bioassays of two chloronicotinyl insecticides, acetamiprid and imidacloprid, against the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), using foliar systemic applications, were conducted under laboratory conditions in field trials. Under controlled conditions, ovicidal activity applications on cotton seedlings was much higher than that imidacloprid. According to LC 50 90 values, 10- 18-fold more potent Both compounds effective when applied soil adults; however, potency...
Two-spotted spider mites (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) cause significant damage to crops and yields, in the field as well greenhouses. By feeding, TSSM destroy chloroplast-containing cells; this can be spectrally detected reflectance of visible near-infrared regions. This study focuses on hyperspectral data greenhouse pepper (Capsicum annuum) leaves, obtained by integrated sphere. The were transformed into vegetation indices allowing early detection separation between leaf levels. One-way...
Bactericera (Paratrioza) cockerelli (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is a native American psyllid species that was first reported in New Zealand 2006. In 2008, the insect associated with new-to-science pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (syn. 'Ca. L. psyllaurous') (Rhizobiales: Rhizobiaceae). This pathogen putative causal agent of zebra chip disease potato tubers, which makes them unsuitable for processing, causes seed and perceived to affect taste fresh market potatoes, as well...

Abstract In horticultural crops, the use of screens to protect plants is usual strategy in Mediterranean area. Screen manufacturers offer a range netting that vary their UV‐absorbing properties. We compared photoeffects seven different screens. Sweet pepper trials were conducted at Gilat Research Center, Israel, where spectral properties nets and influence on pest infestation crop development evaluated. UV transmittance varied among materials studied ranging from 40% 70% incident radiation....
Summary Species from three subfamilies of Cicadellidae and one species Cixiidae, all potential vectors phytoplasmas, were trapped in vineyards over the course two years. These insects caught on yellow sticky traps during spring; virtually none summer months. Molecular analysis (PCR) selected samples leafhoppers planthoppers for presence phytoplasma DNA was conducted most species. Neoaliturus fenestratus abundant known vector positive stolbur (Stol) aster yellows (AY) phytoplasma. Circulifer...
