PROGRAM SCHEDULE Poster Session SRS 2017 STUDENT April 7-8 RESEARCH University of Hawai‘i at Ma¯noa SYMPOSIUM Proudly presented by the University of Hawai‘i at Ma¯noa College Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources and College of Engineering Aloha, Welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) and College of Engineering (CoE) 2017 Student Research Symposium. This annual event, now in its 29th year, brings together graduate and undergraduate students to share the research they are pursuing under the supervision of faculty in CTAHR and CoE. The students are able to present their findings, exchange information, and incorporate what they have learned from their peers into their own scholarly work. The scientific exploration and engineering design conducted by students in CTAHR and CoE is truly multidisciplinary. The Student Research Symposium reflects this diversity and the strong relationship between CTAHR and CoE. The investigations presented here range from fundamental studies to novel applications and encompass engineering, production agriculture, environmental technologies, health and food sciences, family and consumer sciences, and natural sciences. All stages of the research and development process and multiple types of student learning experiences are represented: discovery; advanced diagnostics and laboratory testing; design, validation, and field testing; and adoption of new methods and technologies. Each project represents a unique path that contributes to CTAHR’s mission of preparing students for life in the global community through research that fosters viable communities, a diversified economy, and a healthy environment, as well as CoE’s mission of providing research experiences and opportunities to students that will enhance the growth of the technological workforce and stimulate the growth of technology-based industries in Hawai‘i. The pace at which knowledge and technology are advancing in the basic and applied sciences is breathtaking. Many of the projects presented here would not have been possible at the time these students were born. CTAHR and CoE are proud of our new scientists and engineers; and we are proud to sponsor this event. We look forward to an exciting and informative Symposium. We encourage you to take this opportunity to interact with students, faculty, and other professionals; exchange ideas; develop new research collaborations; and rekindle old friendships.

  • Reniform Nematode in Louisiana Rotylenchulus Reniformis Linford & Oliveira
    Reniform Nematode in Louisiana Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford & Oliveira During the past two decades, the reniform nema- tode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) has emerged as one of the most important nematode species of plant crops in Louisiana. It attacks a wide range of plant types and is particularly damaging to crops such as cotton, sweet potato, soybeans and many vegetables. This nematode was first reported in Louisiana in the 1940s. Because it was thought to be present in only a few thousand acres in the early 1960s, this pest likely is an invasive species that was introduced into our state in the early part of the 20th century. It spread rapidly throughout the state and was esti- mated to occur in 500,000 acres based on survey work conducted during 1994 and 1995. Most likely, reniform nematode originated in a tropical area. It has the unique ability to survive Fig. 1. A swollen female of the reniform nematode projecting for long periods in very dry soil, much like what is from a cotton root. encountered in many tropical areas. Some tropical areas don’t have summer and winter; instead they have only wet and dry periods. This ability to survive in dried soil for extended periods also could account for the quick spread throughout the state. Anything that could move infested soil, such as farm equipment, birds, flooding or even dust, can contribute to the spread of this nematode. The other characteristic that indicates reniform nematode comes from a trop- ical climate is that it cannot withstand cold climates. Northern Arkansas, southern Tennessee and eastern Virginia seem to be as far north as this nematode can successfully survive.

Numerous microorganisms have been described in the literature as biological control agents for pests and diseases, although some have not yet been commercialised due to their lack of viability or efficacy in different crops. Paecilomyces is a cosmopolitan fungus that is mainly known for its nematophagous capacity, but it has also been reported as an insect parasite and biological control agent of several fungi and phytopathogenic bacteria through different mechanisms of action. In addition, species of this genus have recently been described as biostimulants of plant growth and crop yield. This review includes all the information on the genus Paecilomyces as a biological control agent for pests and diseases. Its growth rate and high spore production rate in numerous substrates ensures the production of viable, affordable, and efficient commercial formulations for agricultural use. Keywords: biological control; diseases; pests; Paecilomyces 1.

It has a worldwide distribution within tropical and subtropical regions and was first detected in Australian cotton in 2003 in a single field in Emerald. No further detections were made until late 2012, when an investigation of stunted plants in Theodore cotton fields led to the identification of this plant parasite.

Growth parameters (height and girth) and components of yield (No. of suckers/plant, bunch weight/plant, No. of hands/plant, No. of fingers/plant) were studied on plantain in addition to No. of weevils per plant. On cassava, total biomass, tuber number and tuber weight (yield) were analyzed using GenStat software and means were separated with Fisher’s least significance test at = 0.05. There were no differences in height and girth of plantain at Assin Foso. However, plant height was 25% and girth 13% more under sole plantain system over the mixed cropping system at Kwadaso. The sole plantain system recorded 60% and 75% more suckers than the Plantain-Cassava system at both locations.
