Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Limonene dispensers repelled whitefly from tomato.
- Intervention effect Limonene dispensers increased fruit yield by 32% during heavy whitefly infestation.
- Intervention effect MeSA application reduced whitefly population development on tomato.
- Intervention effect MeSA increased tomato yield by 11% with marginal statistical significance.
- Intervention effect The combined VOC methods were effective against whitefly.
- Intervention effect Whitefly abundance under the combination was similar to limonene alone.
- Intervention effect All VOC controls negatively affected whitefly performance, especially early in infestation.
- Intervention effect MeSA significantly increased TPX1 and PR1 transcripts.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that MeSA immediately induced defenses.
- Intervention effect MeSA plus infestation produced higher POD activity than infestation alone.
- Recommendation Authors propose limonene dispensers as a low cost whitefly control option.
- Recommendation Authors propose incorporating VOC methods into IPM systems.
