rice straw mulch reduces the green peach aphid myzus persicae hemiptera aphididae populations on kale brassica oleracea var acephala brassicaceae plants
PLOS ONE, 2014Co-Authors: Reinildes Silvafilho, Wagner De Souza Tavares, Carlos Frederico Wilcken, Ricardo Henrique Silva Santos, Germano Leao Demolin Leite, Jose Eduardo Serrao, Jose Cola ZanuncioAbstract:Organic Mulches, like peel and rice-straw, besides other materials affect the UV and temperature, which cause a reduction in the aphid arrival. The aim was to evaluate the effect of covering the soil with straw on the populations of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae on the kale, Brassica oleracea var. acephala plants. The first experiment evaluated the direct effect of the rice-straw mulch and the second its indirect effect on aphid immigration, testing the plant characteristics that could lead to the landing preference of this insect. The third experiment evaluated the direct effect of the mulch on the aphid population. In the second and third experiments, four plants, each in a 14 L polyethylene pot with holes at the bottom, were used in areas with and without soil mulching. These pots were changed between areas, after seven days, to evaluate the effects of this change on the arrival of the winged aphids to the plants. Each plant was covered with anti-aphid gauze and inoculated with one winged M. persicae. Winged and apterous adults of this insect were counted per plant after 15 days. The temperature increased in the mulched plots to a maximum of 21–36°C and to 18–32°C in the plots with or without soil covering, respectively. Plant growth reduced the numbers of the winged aphids landing before and after they were moved to the bare soil plots. The nutrient content was similar in plants in both the mulched and no mulched plots. The population growth of M. persicae was higher in the control than in the mulched plots. This was partially due to temperatures close to 30°C in these plots and changes in the plant physiology. The soil mulching with rice-straw decreased the M. persicae landing, increased the plot temperatures and improved the vegetative growth of the kale plants.

effects of cultivar fruit number and reflected photosynthetically active radiation on fragaria ananassa productivity and fruit ellagic acid and ascorbic acid concentrations
Annals of Botany, 2006Co-Authors: C J Atkinson, P A A Dodds, Y Y Ford, Le J Miere, J M Taylor, P S Blake, N PaulAbstract:• Background and Aims A number of strawberry varieties were surveyed for their total ellagic acid concentration, and attempts were made to determine if ellagic acid and ascorbic acid concentrations of two strawberry cultivars could be increased by polythene reflective Mulches. • Methods After adjusting crop yields and cultivation using polythene Mulches with two different PAR reflective capacities, field- and polytunnel-grown strawberries were analysed for ellagic acid and ascorbic acid concentrations by HPLC. Comparative measurements of yield and fruit quality were determined along with plant developmental changes. • Key Results Ellagic acid concentration varied widely with strawberry cultivar (60–341µg g−1 frozen weight), as did the ratio of conjugated ellagic acid:free ellagic acid. Also, there was significant year-to-year variation in total ellagic acid concentration with some cultivars. Mulches with different reflective capacities impacted on strawberry production; highly reflective Mulches significantly increased growth and yield, the latter due to increases in fruit size and number. • Conclusions Highly reflective Mulches significantly increased total concentrations of ellagic acid and ascorbic acid relative to control in fruit of different cultivars. The potential of agronomic practices to enhance the concentration and amounts of these important dietary bioactive compounds is discussed.
