Unattended Trapping of Whiteflies Driven out of Tomato Plants onto a Yellow-Colored Double-Charged Dipolar Electric Field Screen [PDF]
Horticulturae, 2022 An unattended pest control system was developed to eliminate whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) that settled on greenhouse tomato plants. The system exploited the whitefly’s habit of flying up from a plant that was mechanically tapped and then heading toward ...

Reinfection Dynamics of Disease-Free Cassava Plants in Three Agroecological Regions of Côte d’Ivoire [PDF]
VirusesCassava mosaic disease (CMD) is caused by begomoviruses and can result in yield losses of up to 90% in susceptible varieties. Using disease-free planting material from in vitro cultures is one of the most effective ways of controlling this disease. A CMD
