  • Preliminary Evaluation of a Granite Rock Dust Product for Pest Herbivore Management in Field Conditions
    insects Article Preliminary Evaluation of a Granite Rock Dust Product for Pest Herbivore Management in Field Conditions Nicoletta Faraone 1,* and N. Kirk Hillier 2 1 Chemistry Department, Acadia University, Wolfville, NS B4P 2R6, Canada 2 Biology Department, Acadia University, Wolfville, NS B4P 2R6, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-902-585-1320 Received: 16 November 2020; Accepted: 9 December 2020; Published: 11 December 2020 Simple Summary: Rock dusts, including granite rock dust, are a rich source of silicon, one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust. Silicon exerts repellent, insecticidal and anti-ovipositional activities against agricultural pests. When accumulated on plant tissue, it can also form a mechanical barrier that increases resistance to pest attack. In the present work, we examined the effect of granite dust in managing herbivores under field conditions, evaluating the repellent and insecticidal activity against pests in lily, cabbage, and squash plants. Rock dust provided significant protection against specialist lily leaf beetles but was not effective in reducing general herbivore damage to field-grown cabbage and squash plants. Interestingly, rock dust also improved squash plant yield, increasing fruit size 2.5-fold. Overall, these results suggest granite as a beneficial alternative to synthetic pesticides with potential to manage pest herbivores, and to boost plant health. Abstract: The effects of granite rock dust in dry and aqueous formulations were evaluated under field conditions for control of insect pests in different crop systems and ornamental plants. We tested efficacy of crop protection following foliar applications on lily, squash, and cabbage plants by evaluating subsequent pest damage, overall plant health, and quantity of crops produced over one season.

Orlova-Bienkowskaja, 2016, published in Entomologicheskoe Obozrenie, 2016, Vol. 95, No. 2, pp. 71–89. Is It Possible to Distinguish Alien Species of Beetles (Coleoptera) from Native Ones? M. Ja. Orlova-Bienkowskaja Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119071 Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received May 25, 2015 Abstract—Species established outside their native ranges are termed alien. Biological invasions of beetles are poorly studied. Distinguishing between alien and native species is necessary for conservation as well as for taxo- nomic, zoogeographic, and evolutionary studies. It constitutes a difficult problem, but the experience of botany and some branches of zoology gives reasons to believe that it is not unsolvable. The following criteria for distinguish- ing alien beetle species from native ones are proposed based on the criteria developed for plants, algae, mammals, and marine invertebrates: (1) detection of an established population of the species which has not been recorded ear- lier in the region; (2) disjunction of the range which cannot be explained by disjunction of suitable landscapes or host plant ranges; (3) expansion of a part of the range isolated from its main part; (4) highly localized distribution in an area adjacent to a known invasion pathway; (5) establishment in other regions; (6) dependency on another non-native species (feeding

  • Spring Flowering Bulbs for Kentucky Gardens
    HortFacts 52-04 SPRING FLOWERING BULBS FOR KENTUCKY GARDENS Robert G. Anderson, Extension Specialist in Floriculture Spring flowering bulbs are an important part of the landscape in Kentucky. Crocus and daffodils tell us that spring is on its way and red tulips are a Derby Day tradition. These flowers are recognized by most people but there are many other spring flowering bulbs that can be used around your home. Hundreds of different kinds of flower bulbs are available for fall planting. You may obtain them from mail order bulb companies, garden centers, supermarkets or department stores. Some are familiar and others have long, hard-to-pronounce names. Generally, spring flowering bulbs do very well the first spring after they are planted. Yet, many home gardeners want the bulbs to come back year after year or naturalize in their home landscape. Continuing trials at the UK College of Agriculture's Arboretum and Horticulture Research Farm have focused on the naturalization of spring flowering bulbs. Bulbs planted in various sites and given different types of care have been observed through four spring flowering seasons. The following list of recommended bulbs for Kentucky landscapes is based on these trials. Planting Site Well-drained sites are essential. Established gardens and Wind Flower – ‘Radar’ beds or newly cultivated areas are fine. The soil pH should be 6.0 to 7.0. Bulbs will not do well in heavy clay soils, so poor soils should be amended with compost, peat moss or other organic matter. Most bulbs prefer a site that does not receive full sunlight in the middle of the day.

  • Greentours Iran Zagros Trip Report 2017 Botanical Dionysias Irises
    Iran The Zagros Mountains April 2017 A Greentours Trip Report Led by Ian Green & Seda Soylu Day 1 March 31st We all met up in the departure lounge at Istanbul Airport having travelled from the UK, from Geneva, Amsterdam and Antalya to get there. The flight was just a little late taking off… Day 2 April 1st to Shiraz & Dasht-e-Arjan We arrived a little after two and were soon through immigration and reunited with our baggage. Then we met up with Sasan, our local guide, and Reza our driver, and headed off across the deserted streets of Shiraz to our hotel where we settled gratefully into bed. Next morning Shiraz was pleasantly warm we headed past the city towards Dasht-e-Arjan, a protected area comprising Zagros Oak woodlands, rocky and high mountains, and a large lake which has sadly dried up in recent years. En route we passed almonds and peaches grown in little walled orchards but otherwise the landscape looked quite dry. There was plenty of Amygdalus arabica in bloom, this almond looking confusingly like a broom, and later we started to see Amygdalus eriocarpa as well. We spent the late morning exploring the lowest reaches of the Arjan Protected Area. The Crown Imperials were in magnificent bloom. We wandered over a beautiful hillside dotted with Zagrosian Oaks, some of these clearly rather old, moving from group to group of these spectacular fritillaries. They were a deepest orange and made for great pictures with the tree-dotted landscape as a bsckdrop. Muscari neglectum and fine groups of Tulipa biflora provided the bulb interest.

  • Gastropods and Insects Prefer Different Solanum Dulcamara Chemotypes
    Journal of Chemical Ecology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-018-0979-4 Gastropods and Insects Prefer Different Solanum dulcamara Chemotypes Onno W. Calf1 & Heidrun Huber2 & Janny L. Peters3 & Alexander Weinhold4 & Yvonne Poeschl4,5 & Nicole M. van Dam1,4,6 Received: 28 February 2018 /Revised: 11 June 2018 /Accepted: 18 June 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Solanum dulcamara (Bittersweet nightshade) shows significant intraspecific variation in glycoalkaloid (GA) composition and concentration. We previously showed that constitutive differences in overall GA levels are correlated with feeding preference of the grey field slug (GFS; Deroceras reticulatum). One particularly preferred accession, ZD11, contained low GA levels, but high levels of previously unknown structurally related uronic acid conjugated compounds (UACs). Here we test whether different slug species as well as insect herbivores show similar feeding preferences among six S. dulcamara accessions with different GA chemotypes. In addition, we investigate whether slug feeding can lead to induced changes in the chemical composition and affect later arriving herbivores. A leaf disc assay using greenhouse-grown plants showed that three slug species similarly preferred accessions with low GA levels. Untargeted metabolomic analyses showed that previous slug feeding consistently increased the levels of N-caffeoyl-putrescine and a structurally related metabolite, but not the levels of GAs and UACs. Slug-induced responses only affected slug preference in one accession. A common garden experiment using the same six accessions revealed that ZD11 received the highest natural gastropod feeding damage, but suffered the lowest damage by specialist flea beetles. The latter preferred to feed on accessions with high GA levels.

In this study, effects of three Article History concentrations of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0.00, 0.10 and 0.15 Received : 30.09.2019 mg/L) and three different amounts (0.0, 3.0 and 3.5 g/L) of activated Accepted : 11.11.2019 carbon (AC) on the growth of F. imperialis plantlets in vitro were determined. The auxins were at similar concentration (0.01 mg/L of Keywords NAA and 0.01 mg/L of IAA) for all treatments. It has been found that Activated charcoal the size and number of bulblets, as well as root and shoot numbers in Bulblet regenerated plantlets were increased significantly (p<0.05) by adding Crown imperial 3.5 g/L of AC in culture medium supplemented with 0.10 mg/L of BAP. Cytokinin Moreover, addition of AC significantly reduced the length of roots in Micropropagation all doses studied (p<0.05). The supreme concentration of BAP (0.15 mg/L) decreased the bulblet number in all treatments, however, when supplemented with 3.5 g/L of AC, it was found to raise all the values measured (p<0.05).
