Elicitor Application in Strawberry Results in Long-Term Increase of Plant Resilience Without Yield Loss

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
For a first step integrating elicitor applications into the current IPM strategy increasing plant resilience against pests, we investigated repeated elicitor treatments in a strawberry everbearer nursery and cropping cycle under glass.

Eggsplorer: a rapid plant–insect resistance determination tool using an automated whitefly egg quantification algorithm

Plant Methods, 2023
Background A well-known method for evaluating plant resistance to insects is by measuring insect reproduction or oviposition. Whiteflies are vectors of economically important viral diseases and are, therefore, widely studied.

Consequences of interplant trait variation for canopy light absorption and photosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Plant-to-plant variation (interplant variation) may play an important role in determining individual plant and whole canopy performance, where interplant variation in architecture and photosynthesis traits has direct effects on light absorption and ...

Consequences of intra-canopy and top LED lighting for uniformity of light distribution in a tomato crop

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
In the past decade, the potential of positioning LED lamps in between the canopy (intra-canopy) to enhance crop growth and yield has been explored in greenhouse cultivation.

The choice of spectrum of LED irradiators affect the life of lighting systems in horticulture [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The article presents the results of experimental studies of LED degradation in greenhouse irradiators for horticulture. It was found that in the process of operation of the irradiators the emission spectrum changes.

Tomato Inoculation With a Non-pathogenic Strain of Fusarium oxysporum Enhances Pest Control by Changing the Feeding Preference of an Omnivorous Predator

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Mirid predators, a special group of plant-feeding omnivorous predators, have become important biological control agents for pest control in greenhouse cropping systems. Their efficacy and behavior may potentially be affected by microorganisms that induce

Greenhouse horticulture

, 2019
This book provides an integrated approach to crop growth and development and the technical aspects of greenhouse cultivation and climate management. It combines an analysis of the relationship between crop production and ambient climate with an explanation of the processes that determine the climate in a protected environment.
