Insecticide Efficacy of Green Synthesis Silver Nanoparticles on Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae).

Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is a vector of Jagoueix et al. and Teixeira et al., causal agents of the critical yellow dragon disease or Huanglongbing (HLB), which affects citrus production worldwide.

as a Wild Field Host of (Hemiptera: Triozidae) and ' Liberibacter solanacearum'.

The potato/tomato psyllid, (Šulc), is among the most important pests of solanaceous crops as a vector of the pathogen ' Liberibacter solanacearum' (Lso). Lso-infected psyllids often arrive in crop fields from various wild species of Solanaceae and Convolvulaceae, especially those that provide early-season hosts for the vector. species are perennial plants within the family Solanaceae with often broad geographical distributions that overlap those of , yet the status of many species as hosts for or Lso remains unknown.

Life Table Parameters of Boudreaux (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Five Host Plants.

The quality of the host plant affects the life history parameters of tetranychid mites. The biology and fertility life tables of on five host plants (, , var. , , and ) were assessed under laboratory conditions at 28 ± 1 °C and 70-80% relative humidity (RH) with a photoperiod of 12:12 h (L:D).

First report of Fusarium equiseti causing root and crown rot in tomato in Mexico.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important crops in Mexico due to its economic and nutritional value. Among the main diseases in tomato production is Fusarium wilt, which can cause 60% production losses (Ascencio et al, 2008).

Tomato Varieties Influence the Performance of (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) on (Hemiptera: Triozidae) Nymphs.

The potato/tomato psyllid is the Liberibacter solanacearum bacterium vector that causes diseases in Solanaceae crops. Pest control is based on synthetic chemical insecticides, plant extracts, and natural enemies such as parasitoids. feeds on nymphs of , reaching up to 95% parasitism.

Evaluation of Resistance of Eleven Maize Races ( L.) to the Red Spider Mite (, Boudreaux).

At least 59 maize races ( L.) have been registered in Mexico. The feeding damage caused by insects and mites to maize crops generates up to ~30% of maize yield losses.

The Resistance of Seven Host Plants to Boudreaux (Acari: Tetranychidae).

Red spider mites, Boudreaux (Acari: Tetranychidae), is an agricultural pest that causes economic losses in papaya and nopal crops in Mexico. The aim of this research was to assess antibiosis and antixenosis as resistance mechanisms in seven host plants (, , , , , , var. ) to red spider mites.

Evaluation of Ethanol Extract of Lam. as Acaricide against Hirst (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae).

Tetranychidae family is a major group of mites causing serious damage in agricultural, vegetable and ornamental crops. Avocado bronze mite (ABM), Hirst (Acari: Tetranychidae) causes major crop damage, defoliation and fruit abortion. At present, the control of this mite depends mainly on agrochemicals.

Bioacaricidal Potential of Ethanol Extract for Boudreaux (Acari: Tetranychidae) Control.

The Tetranychidae family includes mites causing severe damage to agricultural fields. The red spider mite, Boudreaux (Acari: Tetranychidae), causes severe damage to several plant species grown as cash crops. Current red spider mite control depends mainly on chemical insecticides.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Zinc Sulfate Impact Physiological Parameters and Boosts Lipid Peroxidation in Soil Grown Coriander Plants ().

The objective of this study was to determine the oxidative stress and the physiological and antioxidant responses of coriander plants () grown for 58 days in soil with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO) at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 mg of Zn/kg of soil. The results revealed that all Zn compounds increased the total chlorophyll content (CHLt) by at least 45%, compared to the control group; however, with 400 mg/kg of ZnSO, chlorophyll accumulation decreased by 34.6%.
