  • Colours in Nature Colours
    Nature's Wonderful Colours Magdalena KonečnáMagdalena Sedláčková • Jana • Štěpánka Sekaninová Nature is teeming with incredible colours. But have you ever wondered how the colours green, yellow, pink or blue might taste or smell? What could they sound like? Or what would they feel like if you touched them? Nature’s colours are so wonderful ColoursIN NATURE and diverse they inspired people to use the names of plants, animals and minerals when labelling all the nuances. Join us on Magdalena Konečná • Jana Sedláčková • Štěpánka Sekaninová a journey to discover the twelve most well-known colours and their shades. You will learn that the colours and elements you find in nature are often closely connected. Will you be able to find all the links in each chapter? Last but not least, if you are an aspiring artist, take our course at the end of the book and you’ll be able to paint as exquisitely as nature itself does! COLOURS IN NATURE COLOURS albatrosmedia.eu b4u publishing Prelude Who painted the trees green? Well, Nature can do this and other magic. Nature abounds in colours of all shades. Long, long ago people began to name colours for plants, animals and minerals they saw them in, so as better to tell them apart. But as time passed, ever more plants, animals and minerals were discovered that reminded us of colours already named. So we started to use the names for shades we already knew to name these new natural elements. What are these names? Join us as we look at beautiful colour shades one by one – from snow white, through canary yellow, ruby red, forget-me-not blue and moss green to the blackest black, dark as the night sky.

  • Brown Rot of Peach
    University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food & Environment Extension Plant Pathology College of Agriculture, Food and Environment Cooperative Extension Service Plant Pathology Fact Sheet PPFS-FR-T-27 Brown Rot of Peach Nicole Gauthier Erica Wood Extension Plant Pathologist Extension Agent for Horticulturist Importance Fruit rot Brown rot is the most devastating disease of peach Decay begins as small circular brown spots, which in Kentucky. The disease affects both commercial rapidly expand to destroy entire fruit (Figure 2). and backyard orchards. Crop losses occur primarily Light-colored tan-to-brown spores (conidia) cover as a result of fruit decay; however, blossom blight is infected fruit tissue (Figure 3). Rotted fruit drop to also part of the disease cycle. All stone fruit (peach, the ground or remain attached to trees and become nectarine, plum, and cherry) are susceptible to hard and wrinkled (mummies) (Figure 4). Infected brown rot. fruit (not yet showing symptoms) can rot in storage. Symptoms & Signs Blossom blight 2 Infected blossoms wilt and turn brown (Figure 1) while remaining attached to twigs; oozing sap is often associated with the dead blossoms. Blossom infections move into peduncles (blossom attachments to branches) and then into branches, causing cankers (Figure 1); these may initially go unnoticed. The cankers girdle (encircle) branches; twig blight and shoot death occur as a result. Gummosis (oozing of sap) is common in affected twigs. 1 Figure 1. Blossom blight phase occurs when the brown rot fungus infects flowers. This initiates other phases of the disease. A canker (arrow) develops when blossom infections move into branches. Figure 2.

  • Peony, Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe Polygoni)
    Problem: Peony, Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe polygoni) Host Plants: Peony Description: Powdery mildew starts as individual spots that resemble snowflakes but rapidly coalesce to cover the entire leaf so that a plant look like it was dusted with flour. Though common on other plants such as lilac and bee balm, it has been relatively rare on peony until the last few years. Recommendations: Poor air movement and shade make the disease more likely. Growing peonies in full sun with good air movement will help minimize the disease. Fungicides can be effective if applied before infection has occurred. Therefore, heavily infected plants should not be treated as the treatment will be ineffective. Fortunately, the disease should cause no lasting damage to the plant. Remove and discard (or compost) infected plant material at the end of the season. Look for individual spots to appear the following spring and then apply a recommended fungicide before the disease has spread. Suggested fungicides include myclobutanil (Eagle, Spectracide Immunox, Monterey Fungi-Maxx, Fertilome F- Stop Lawn & Garden Fungicide), propiconazole (Banner MAXX, Fertilome Liquid Systemic Fungicide, Bonide Infuse Systemic Disease Control) or tebuconazole (BioAdvanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers & Shrubs).

  • Peach Volatile Emission and Attractiveness of Different Host Plant
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Peach volatile emission and attractiveness of diferent host plant volatiles blends to Cydia molesta in adjacent peach and pear orchards Peng‑fei Lu1* & Hai‑li Qiao2 The oriental fruit moth (OFM), Cydia (= Grapholitha) molesta, is a highly damaging pest; peaches are its primary host, and pears serve as post‑peach secondary hosts during the late season in China. We collected volatiles from detached peach shoots and fruits, and identifed them with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Antennally active compounds were identifed by gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD), and these were further tested in the laboratory and feld. We detected consistent electroantennographic activity was for ten compounds. Signifcantly more C. molesta females were caught with a mixture of female EAD-active compounds identifed from the detached matured peach fruits (nonanal, butyl acetate, 3-methylbutyl acetate, hexyl acetate, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, linalool and farnesene) than other mixtures mimicking the volatile profle from detached matured fruits or shoots. We identifed a new GC-EAD active mixture from intact peach shoots composed of nonanal, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (E)-β-ocimene, and 6-methyl- 5-hepten-2-one. In the feld test, the background odour of orchards could afect trap catches, and two peach-derived blends together with two previously known pear-derived blends were proven to be able to monitor the seasonal OFM population dispersal in adjacent orchards. These host plant blends will be efective for further designing candidate attractants for season-long C. molesta population dynamic monitoring. Phytochemicals are important olfactory cues for moths to fnd hosts and lay eggs 1–4.

  • Peach, Apricot, and Nectarine
    Peach, Apricot, and Nectarine plantdiseasehandbook.tamu.edu/food-crops/fruit-crops/peach-apricot-and-nectarine/ Armillaria Root Rot: This can be a major disease in older orchards and replanted orchards. (See Photo) (See Section on Mushroom Root Rot) Bacterial Canker (bacterium – Pseudomonas syringae): Elongated cankers develop at the base of buds and randomly on the trunk and scaffold limbs (See Photo). Damaged areas are slightly sunken and somewhat darker in color than the surrounding bark. At both the upper and lower margins of the canker, narrow brown streaks extend into healthy tissue. As the trees break dormancy in the spring, gum is formed by the surrounding tissue and may exert enough pressure to break through the bark and flow. The area beneath the canker has a soured odor. Individual scaffolds or the entire tree usually dies shortly after leafing out in the spring. Roots are not affected. Extensive suckering (See Photo) often occurs at the tree base. The bacterium is a weak pathogen and causes serious damage only when a tree is in a dormant condition or weakened due to unfavorable growing conditions. Bacterial canker is a component in a disease complex known as Peach Tree Short Life. Trees up to 7 years old, growing on deep sandy soil are most susceptible. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizer rates in mid to late summer. Do not encourage late fall growth. Prune when the trees are fully dormant (January and February). High dosage of a copper-containing fungicide at leaf drop has been somewhat successful. Bacterial Spot (bacterium – Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni): Symptoms on leaves are observed first as small, circular, or irregularly shaped, pale green lesions (See Photo).

  • Problem: Brown Rot of Fruit Trees - Monilinia Fructicola
    Problem: Brown Rot of Fruit Trees - Monilinia fructicola Host Plants: Peach, Nectarines, Apricots, Plums, Cherries, Apples Description: The disease may affect blossoms, twigs, and fruit. Generally, there are two major infection periods of the brown rot fungus. They occur during blossom and beginning several weeks before harvest. The blossom blight phase occurs in early spring during bloom. Young petals first develop brown spots, but the blossoms quickly turn brown or black and die. Small tufts of dusty brown to gray fungal growth can be seen growing on the dead blossoms. The loss of some blossoms in the spring is not serious in itself; however, inoculum produced on the rotting blossoms serves to infect developing fruit later in the season. The fungus also may move from blighted blossoms into the twigs, causing small, elliptical cankers. In some cases, these cankers will girdle and kill twigs. Bleeding or gum production often is associated with twig cankers. The second phase of the disease occurs as fruit begins to mature. Inoculum produced on blighted blossoms, twig cankers, or from nearby wild plums infects maturing fruit. Affected fruit develops light brown spots that enlarge rapidly. The fruit may be completely rotted within a day or two. The fungus sporulates profusely on the rotting fruit, giving the peaches a dusty brown appearance. The rotting fruit shrivels to form a structure called a mummy, which is completely colonized by the brown rot fungus. These mummies may remain attached to the tree or drop to the orchard floor. Fruits thinned at or after pit hardening also provide a good medium for the fungus and are an important source of inoculum for mature fruit infection.
