The Concept of Key Plants in Integrated Pest Management For Landscapes

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1985
AbstractFive integrated pest management (IPM) programs for landscape plants were conducted by extension specialists at the University of Maryland between 1980 and 1982. An analysis of the insect, disease, and cultural problems of more than 30,000 plants revealed certain genera to be far more problem prone than others.

Keys to the Increased Use of Host Plant Resistance in Integrated Pest Management

2009
Abstract Host-plant resistance as a management tactic involves both the exploitation of intraspecific variation in genetically based plant resistance to breed crop varieties that support lower populations of herbivores or that better tolerate injury by herbivores and the integration of said varieties with other management tactics such as insecticide ...

Plant-parasitic nematodes in Australian viticulture: key pests, current management practices and opportunities for future improvements

Australasian Plant Pathology, 2008
This paper provides a brief overview of the Australian grape industry and discusses the distribution and economic importance of its main nematode pests and outlines the management practices (hot water treatment of planting material, nematode-resistant rootstocks and nematicides) that are currently used to minimise losses from nematodes.

Recognizing the Larvae of Key Pests and Beneficials Found on Woody Landscape Plants

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1990
Proper identification of pests and beneficial organisms found on landscape plants is vital if sound pest management is to be practiced. This paper presents techniques and information useful in the identification of some of the more commonly encountered insect larvae found on the leaves and bark of trees and shrubs.

The plant‐derived Bt11S gene in whitefly: a key player in reproduction and RNAi‐based pest management

Pest Management Science
AbstractBackgroundHorizontal gene transfer (HGT), an understudied evolutionary phenomenon, influences host adaptation and reproduction in insects while providing novel targets for pest control. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean (MED) is a globally invasive pest known for its rapid reproduction and adaptability, which make it an ideal model for ...

Impact of weather parameters and planting dates on the population dynamics of key insect pests and natural enemies in onion cultivation

Journal of Eco-friendly Agriculture
This study aimed to explore the relationship between weather parameters and the dynamics of insect pests and natural enemies in rabi onion cultivation. Significant correlations were observed for enemies Onion thrips T. tabaci, tobacco caterpillar Spodoptera litura, and cricket Gryllus campestris populations with maximum temperature (0.829, 0.70, and 0 ...

Plant-provided food for predators of key coffee pests

The intense population growth strongly affects the landscapes and pressures food production. Brazil is the bigger coffee producer and exporter in the world and chemical control of pests is the most used method to control unwanted insects. In this scenario, insecticides can create pest resistant populations, outbreaks of secondary ones and harm human ...

Plant resources in the control of the key food pests Andean potato weevils (Premnotrypes spp.) and coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei): a systematic review

Potato and coffee crops grapple with pronounced challenges posed by pests, notably the Andean potato weevils (Premnotrypes spp.) and the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei). These pests inflict significant economic repercussions on both smallholder and commercial farmers by disrupting essential food supply chains.
