Pollination checklist tomato

The flower needs to have been pollinated before it closes. Depending on the conditions, a flower will remain open for one to three days. To check on pollination [...] both to the bumblebees and to people Ensure the hive is horizontal Protect the hive against condensation and rainwater Not all chemical agents can be combined [...] bumblebee's jaw on the flower (bite marks) turn brown within one to four hours and make it possible to check the bumblebees' work. A single visit results in the

Western flower thrips

prefer to feed on developing plant tissues such as growing tips and flower buds. When these tissues develop further, the leaves and flowers can appear [...] Thrips cause damage to plants by piercing the cells of the surface tissues and sucking out their contents, causing the surrounding tissue to die. The resulting [...] the crop. The vigour of the plant is reduced by loss of chlorophyll. When infestations become serious the leaves themselves can shrivel. Western flower thrips

American serpentine leaf miner

miners cause damage to plants both directly and indirectly. The most direct damage is caused by the larvae mining the leaf tissue, leading to desiccation, premature [...] subtropical areas this can lead to burning in fruit such as tomato and melon. Loss of leaves also reduces yield. In full-grown plants of fruiting vegetable [...] hard to distinguish from feeding spots. The larvae of Liriomyza trifolii are entirely ochre-yellow. When the larva hatches from the egg, it begins to eat

The most direct damage is caused by the larvae mining the leaf tissue, leading to desiccation, premature [...] (sub-)tropical areas this can lead to burning in fruit such as tomato and melon. Loss of leaves also reduces yield. In full-grown plants of fruiting vegetable [...] Seedlings and young plants can be completely destroyed as a result of the direct damage caused by leaf miners. Indirect damage arises when disease causing

Tomato russet mite

Damage symptoms Damage is caused by the mites sucking out the contents of plant cells [...] petioles, and on stems on the lower portion of plants. When newly laid they are creamy white but turn to a patchy yellow as they age. The mites have two [...] lycopersici , also referred to as Vasates lycopersici, Vasates destructor and Phyllocoptes destructor in older publications) belongs to the family Eriophyidae

A NatuGro Case Study

implemented the NatuGro system from planting until the last harvest and was able to increase yield by 10.7% effectively compared to the plot without the NatuGro [...] within the plant, thus positively affecting these interactions with bio stimulants would lead to improved productivity. Trianum contains the beneficial fungus [...] natural compounds such as plant or seaweed extracts with the purpose of providing the crop with readily available or easier to retrieve nutrients (Yakhin

It is best to place a [...] time for the bumblebees to pollinate the flowers. Bumblebees can only do their job when there is enough daylight available to orientate themselves, which [...] it takes up to 60-90 minutes for the last foraging bumblebee to return to the hive. Under low light conditions, this time increases up to 120 minutes.

Greenhouse whitefly

large, feeding on plant sap can affect the physiology of the plant, as a result of which growth is retarded. In full sunlight, leaves can wilt and fall. Such [...] whiteflies can usually be found in the top of the plant and on the underside of young leaves, where they deposit their eggs. When shaking infested plants, adults [...] damage that whiteflies cause to a crop is the result of sucking out the sap from the plant leaves and secreting honeydew. This can have the following consequences:

Hemp russet mite

When populations are large [...] a ) belongs to the family Eriophyidae (gall and rust mites). It does not produce galls but lives freely (vagrant) on hemp/cannabis plants. Aculops cannabicola [...] cannabicola is host specific to hemp/cannabis ( Cannabis sativa ). It cannot survive on other plants. Damage symptoms Damage is caused by the mites sucking

Such [...] damage that whiteflies cause to a crop is the result of sucking out the sap from the plant leaves and secreting honeydew. This can have the following consequences: [...] The larvae inject enzymes into the plant that alter their normal physiological processes. In some host plants, this can cause damage, including irregular
