Identification and management alternatives of powdery mildew in rosebush

Rose powdery mildew caused by Podosphaera pannosa affects all aerial parts of the plant, which affects their quality as a major component of economic loss. In this work, the causal agent of powdery mildew of rose was identity and confirmed, the effect of potassium phosphite (K3PO3), silicon, chitosan and dodemorph acetate on the incidence and severity of the disease was evaluated, as well as their response in the quality of flower stalks. Two trials (February to April and from May to July) w...

The effect of using amphipathic lipids as an edible coating on Royal Rosa variety stored plumbs at 1°C for 50 days and 1 day at 20ºC was analyzed. Treated plumbs reduced their ethylene emission levels. Likewise, their respiration rate was lower than in control fruits. This kept the plumbs quality for longer. In addition, throughout the storage period, they showed smaller maturity index and weight losses than the control fruits. All treated plums showed a better external appearance due to d...

Ecology and Drosophila suzukii's control

We can include this emerging species in Europe and North America in the group of "fruit flies of economic importance." Drosophila suzukii has come to disrupt agricultural production in a number of crops that were not affected by these flies, especially the so-called "red fruits or berries". In addition to this, it is also causing problems in vineyard and various stone-fruit trees. BIOIBERICA has developed an effective product in the fight against this new and important pest.

IOBC VIII Workshop on Integrated Soft Fruit Production

Control of Drosophila suzukii has relied on repeated applications of full cover broad-spectrum insecticides. In an effort to develop a more integrated pest management (IPM) program, studies were conducted in California during 2013 and 2014 into the use of low-volume technique using attractant bait combine with an insecticide. In 2014, studies demonstrated that low-volume (46,8L/ha) applications of the combination of spinosad with Suzukii Trap bait resulted in the significant reduction of D.s...
