Management of Sweet Potato Virus Disease Using Prophylactic Measure Strategy | Chapter 5 | Research Advances in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 7

 The purpose concerning this study is to use plant parts that have a pesticidal action to repel viruses to control the pest heading. Sweet potato is one of ultimate economically important crops for focusing on global meat security and climate change issues, exceptionally under conditions of thorough agriculture, such as those about developing countries. However, osmotic stress in another way impacts the agronomic and business-related productivity of sweet potato sophistication by inducing various morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes. Plants engage many signaling pathways to put oneself in the place of another water stress by modifying their development patterns, activating antioxidants, accumulating acceptable solutes and chaperones, and making stress proteins.  The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.)  is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or dawn glory family, Convolvulaceae. Its large, stiff, sweet-tasting tuberous ancestries are used as a root produce. Sweet potato is well known as healthy and healthy beginning of food that has been connected to viral contaminations all throughout the realm, including Malaysia. When growing sweet vegetables, it's crucial to control the bug vectors that spread viral afflictions. Aphid transmits Sweet potato plumed mottle bacterium (SPFMV) meanwhile whitefly transmits Sweet potato chlorotic trick virus (SPCSV). SPFMV when individually or mix with other viruses had precipitated reduction in the batch and quality of the sweet vegetable tubers. Planting chives (Allium tuberosum) in companion to sweet potato as a protective measure was carried out for directing the virus pest headings at farmer plot in Semenyih, Selangor. A total number of 192 innumerable chives were planted friend to sweet potato in a ratio 1:2 as repulsive crop. A continuity study that carried out to correlate 'tween diseases asperity in sweet potato and yield of harvest presented a significant interaction of negative equating.  Sweet potato cultivated with chives was shown to have a lower mean number of bug and whitefly when compared to mean number for bug and whitefly in the control plants (sweet potato outside chives). A lower virus incidence portion was also considerably observed in sweet potato cultivated with chives (27.5%) distinguished to the control plants (41.2%). Furthermore, sweet potato mature with chives attracted more advantageous arthropod/ bugs. The partial budgeting reasoning showed that establishiing sweet potato with chives had a definite impact on the result with 13% profit of sweet potato yield compared to establishiing sweet potato unique. Farmer earned extra income from the business of chives in addition to the existent sweet potato produce. More positive benefits were got with the value of in pay after deductions RM 344.57 when sweet potato was cultivated companion with chives.

Population Ecology and Spatial Distribution of Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) on Brinjal | Chapter 4 | Recent Research Advances in Biology Vol. 6

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), a common insect that feeds on plants, is a member of the Aleyrodidae family of the order Homoptera. One of the major factors that has attracted whitefly in the studied area is the quantity of food source, especially brinjal. In reality, whitefly's ability to fly allows them to quickly search for food. This may promote whitefly reproduction in large numbers, resulting in a serious infestation in the fields. Many farmers are reluctant to grow brinjal after a bad experience with whitefly infestations, which resulted in a complete crop loss of brinjal fruits. There is currently no information on the population dynamics of whiteflies on brinjal. As a result, the population of immature whitefly was calculated in this study, and the population was sampled and predicted precisely through spatial distribution on brinjal plant before an intervention programme could be implemented. The research was carried out at the Field Laboratory of Universiti Teknologi MARA's Faculty of Applied Science in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. Except for the upper stratum, the research on the population of whitefly larvae on brinjal plants covered all plant strata. In the first and second croppings of brinjal plants, whitefly populations were aggregated (Taylor's Power Law Calculate). Whitefly populations were significantly aggregated for both seasons, especially in the middle strata of brinjal plants. The total number of whitefly larvae was found to be most abundant and can be predicted precisely in the middle stratum of the brinjal plants, according to the findings. As a result, these studies are appropriate for developing a thorough understanding of the insect population, which could aid in the development of an effective pest management programme and crop improvement strategy.
