Influence of Weather Conditions and the Aphid Population on the Potato Virus Y Infection of Tobacco in the Field

Agronomy
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a major tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) pathogen that causes severe crop losses. We studied the influence of meteorological factors and a population of twelve aphid species on the development of PVY in field-grown tobacco from 1996

Effect of temperature on fecundity and development of the Giant Willow Aphid, Tuberolachnus salignus (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
This study investigates the thermal requirements, nymphal development rates and the fecundity of both alate and apterous adults of the giant willow aphid, Tuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin) at several temperatures.

NOTES ON APHIDES [PDF]

The Canadian Entomologist, 1873
The following notes were suggested by “Observations,” &c" on Aphides in The Canadian Entomologist for July, 1873. The species noticed on Rumex crispus seems to have very much resemblance to A rumicis of Europe; some other species of N. America do not differ from those of Europe, but have been probably introduced by means of shipping. With regard to

The green peach aphid Myzus persicae perform better on pre-infested Chinese cabbage Brassica pekinensis by enhancing host plant nutritional quality

Scientific Reports, 2016
The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, is a notorious pest on vegetables, which often aggregates in high densities on crop leaves. In this study, we investigated whether M.

Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

Plant–Aphid Interactions Under Elevated CO2: Some Cues from Aphid Feeding Behavior

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Although the increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) accelerates the accumulation of carbohydrates and increases the biomass and yield of C3 crop plants, it also reduces their nitrogen concentration. The consequent changes in primary

Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio‐economic perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.
