manipulates , MEAM1 both directly and indirectly through changes in visual and volatile cues.

The sweetpotato whitefly, MEAM1, is one of the most devastating pests of row-crop vegetables worldwide, damaging crops directly through feeding and indirectly through the transmission of many different viruses, including the geminivirus Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Y-tube olfactometer tests were conducted at different stages of TYLCV infection in tomatoes to understand how TYLCV affects behavior. We also recorded changes in tomato hosts' color and volatile profiles using color spectrophotometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Inspirational Story of Agriculture at Living with The Land Attraction at EPCOT.

Since its debut in 1982, The Land has embodied Walt Disney's vision, capturing the attention of millions of EPCOT guests with venues focusing on agriculture and environmental stewardship and sustainability. The Land pavilion spans over eight acres in the World Nature section of EPCOT at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Characterization of Frankliniella occidentalis and Frankliniella bispinosa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Injury to Strawberry.

Frankliniella flower thrips are pests of numerous fruit and vegetable crops as they feed and reproduce in the flowers and fruits. The invasive Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) from the Southwestern United States, an economic pest in Florida since 2005, and the native Frankliniella bispinosa Morgan are both found in Florida strawberries. The objective of this research was to characterize injury to strawberry fruit from these species.

Sampling for Estimating Frankliniella Species Flower Thrips and Orius Species Predators in Field Experiments.

The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), is a polyphagous pest that has been spread worldwide. The extensive use of insecticides in attempts to control its populations eliminates natural enemies and competitor flower thrips species, thereby increasing its populations. An unsustainable situation develops with concomitant resistant pest populations, secondary pest outbreaks, and environmental degradation.
