Control of Melon Thrips on Squash, Spring 1996 [PDF]
Abstract ‘Dixie’ squash was seeded in Rockdale soil on 25 Feb 1996. A RCB design was employed to provide 4 replicates each for 5 treatments comprising a plot size of 3 rows, 25 feet long. Insecticide applications were initiated after the appearance of melon thrips and continued at approximately 5-7-day intervals beginning 18 Mar.

Melon Thrips Management on Eggplant, 1997
Abstract The study was conducted at the substation of the Kula Research Station, Maui Agricultural Park. The field was set up in a RCB design with seven treatments and four replications (blocks). Each treatment plot consisted of a double row of eggplant planted at 30-inch between-plant spacing. Each row consisted of 14 plants for a total

Control of Melon Thrips in Squash, 1994 [PDF]
Abstract Squash (‘Dixie’) was planted in Homestead on 31 Mar 1992. Plant spacing was 0.3 m in the row and 0.9 m between rows. Plants were fertilized with 1890 kg/ha with granular fertilizer (8:16:16) on two dates at planting and 2 wk after planting. Plots were four rows, 12 m long.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...
