Kaolin particle films disrupt landing, settling behavior and feeding of Trioza erytrae on lemon plants

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4753-4763, November 2022., 2022
White kaolin significantly reduced the number of Trioza erytreae adults settled on lemon plants compared with control plants. Moreover, the psyllid fed significantly less on phloem in kaolin‐treated plants. Abstract BACKGROUND The citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating disease of citrus crops. Trioza erytreae is a vector

Bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity and fruit quality evaluation of eleven blood orange cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 102, Issue 7, Page 2960-2971, May 2022., 2022
Abstract BACKGROUND Blood oranges are grown increasingly in Europe for fresh consumption because of their special taste and excellent nutraceutical properties that confer the status of a functional food. The health benefits are associated with the range of additional bioactive compounds that they contain with respect to blonde oranges.

Insecticide‐contaminated honeydew: risks for beneficial insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 664-678, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Honeydew is the sugar‐rich excretion of phloem‐feeding hemipteran insects such as aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, and psyllids, and can be a main carbohydrate source for beneficial insects in some ecosystems. Recent research has revealed that water‐soluble, systemic insecticides contaminate honeydew excreted by hemipterans that feed on plants ...

Single‐nucleotide mosaicism in citrus: Estimations of somatic mutation rates and total number of variants

The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Most of the hundreds of citrus varieties are derived from spontaneous mutations. We characterized the dynamics of single‐nucleotide mosaicism in a 36‐yr‐old clementine (Citrus ×clementina hort. ex Tanaka) tree, a commercial citrus whose vegetative behavior is known in detail. Whole‐genome sequencing identified 73 reliable somatic mutations, 48%

Perennial Peanut as a Potential Living Mulch and Nitrogen Source for Citrus and Other Orchard Crops in Florida

EDIS, 2023
The concept of using a perennial peanut as a living mulch and source of biological nitrogen in fruit and nut crop orchards is not a new idea. In Central and South America, perennial peanuts have long been incorporated as a living groundcover into palm ...
