Title

Effect of Flower Thrips on Onion Seed Plants and a Study of Their Control

Elmer C. Carlson Journal of Economic Entomology 1964. doi:10.1093/jee/57.5.735

Other claims from this paper (17)

Observation Flower thrips feeding injures flower filaments and causes premature pollen loss and reduced pollination and seed set.
Observation About 10 thrips per flower or floret were needed for meaningful injury.
Observation An estimated 9,000 to 10,000 thrips per seed head would be needed for economic injury and seed loss.
Observation Observed infestations reached 1900, 2400 and 3600 thrips per head.
Observation These thrips densities did not reduce onion seed set, yield, size or viability.
Intervention effect Thrips increased pollination and seed set over controls in every experiment.
Intervention effect Adding pollinators increased seed production and viability relative to thrips alone.
Observation Fly pollinators and two heads per replicate cage were needed for adequate seed set.
Observation Across three years, thrips density never caused economic onion seed loss.
Intervention effect Two or three parathion applications satisfactorily controlled thrips.
Intervention effect Two or three diazinon applications satisfactorily controlled thrips.
Intervention effect Parathion appeared to increase seed viability somewhat.
Intervention effect Parathion during bloom reduced bee and fly pollinators for about three days.
Intervention effect One prebloom dimethoate application gave outstanding thrips control.
Intervention effect The single prebloom dimethoate application did not reduce pollinators.
Intervention effect An additional bloom dimethoate application reduced pollinators for up to ten days.
Intervention effect The single dimethoate application increased seed set and yield.

Photosynthesis, yield, energy balance, and water‐use of intercropped maize and soybean

Elena A. Pelech; Brendan C. S. Alexander; Carl J. Bernacchi Plant Direct 2021. doi:10.1002/pld3.365

Other claims from this paper (10)

Intervention effect Photosynthetic capacity and grain yield of maize were conserved in the intercrop.
Intervention effect Competitive shading by maize reduced light for intercropped soybean to 80%–90% of incident light at canopy closure.
Intervention effect Intercropped soybean had a 94% decrease in grain yield compared with soybean monoculture.
Intervention effect The additive intercrop increased total grain yield per unit area by 11% ± 6%.
Intervention effect Compared with maize monoculture, the intercrop had higher latent heat fluxes at night.
Intervention effect The intercrop had lower daytime latent heat flux than maize monoculture.
Intervention effect The intercrop canopy surface temperature was about 0.25 °C warmer than in maize monoculture.
Mechanism The warmer intercrop canopy partitioned more energy to sensible heat flux.
Observation The intercrop land-use efficiency gain did not establish an increase in seasonal water-use efficiency.
Recommendation Intercropping high-performing maize and soybean cultivars in a dense configuration without negative impact may improve yield and water-use efficiency benefits.

Association In Manryo, grain weight per panicle increased.

Intervention effect Irrigated olive leaves had higher relative water content than rain-fed controls.
Intervention effect Irrigation increased yield in all olive cultivars compared with rain-fed controls.
Intervention effect T1 increased Nocellara del Belice olive yield by 200% versus rain-fed control.
