“…The increased awareness for the environmental and health risk problems concerning to the chemical pesticides, has led to search for non-conventional chemicals of biological origin for management of these plants diseases. Plant originated-antibacterial compounds can be one approach to plant disease management because of their eco-friendly nature (Bolkan & Reinert, 1994). The plant originated-products are of greater advantage to the grower, public, and the environmentalists.…”

“…In addition, the California Environmental Protection Agency supports the use of IPM programs to reduce pesticide risk in California. Indeed, IPM programs can simultaneously reduce pesticide use and maintain or increase farm profits without having significant effect on consumer prices (Bolkan and Reinert, 1994;Pimentel, 1997). However, although there are numerous examples in which IPM practices reduced pesticide use in experimental plots (e.g., Barnett et al, 1993;Zalom and Fry, 1992), there are very few studies that demonstrate reduced pesticide use in large-scale geographic areas and that are documented with actual pesticide use data.…”

In California, regulatory agencies are concerned about organophosphate (OP) contamination of surface water. OPs originate in part from applications on dormant almond and stone fruit orchards that are washed off during winter rainstorms. Programs conducted by the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Project, University of California Cooperative Extension, and the Biologically Integrated Orchard Systems (BIOS), a coalition of public and private groups, have promoted the replacement of OPs on almonds during the rainy season with alternative practices. Data from individual applicator records from the California Pesticide Use Reports demonstrated that during 1992-1997, almond growers in all nine major almond-producing counties significantly reduced use of OPs. The area of almond orchards treated with OPs during the dormant season was reduced by 40-55%, depending upon the region. Similarly, the percentage of growers who used OPs during the dormant season was reduced by 31-48%, and the mass of OPs applied to almond orchards during the dormant season was reduced by 22-57%. During the same period, there was a significant increase in the percentage of growers who used "reduced-risk" treatments: the microbial pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis at bloom-time, oil without an insecticide during the dormant season, and no treatment during the dormant or bloom season. In addition to the decrease in OPs during the dormant season, there was a significant decrease in the area treated with OPs during the growing season. However, there was also a significant increase in the use of pyrethroids during the dormant season, a practice that might result in some surface water and sediment contamination.

“…Risk factors were quantified according to their relative impact in TSWV incidence (Table 1), based on Bolkan & Reinert (1994), on the experience of the research team that conducted this work, and on the experience of the industry technicians associated to it. In each field, risk factors were assessed and the respective risk estimator was calculated by the sum of all risk factors values referred to that field.…”

A risk map for the Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was elaborated for the main Portuguese processing tomato producing region, the "Ribatejo e Península de Setúbal" region, where periodically this virus causes severe losses. Forty nine tomato fields were monitored. Risk factors for TSWV infection were identified and quantified according to their relative importance in TSWV incidence. The risk factors considered for each field were: (1) presence of TSWV in tomato plants; (2) presence of TSWV in weeds which are hosts of TSWV vectors; (3) presence of TSWV vector thrips; (4) presence of TSWV host crops previously (in the two years before), namely, tomato, potato and sweet pepper; and (5) presence of greenhouses, urban areas or TSWV host crops next to the field (up to about 100m from its borders). A risk estimator was calculated for each field. Among the thrips (Thysanoptera) identified, belonging to 11 genera, four vector thrips species were detected: Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and Thrips tabaci Lindman, the two most abundant ones, and F. intonsa (Trybom) and F. schultzei (Trybom). Blue sticky traps placed up to about 75 cm above the crop canopy caught F. occidentalis and T. tabaci more efficiently than the beating technique. The weeds Datura stramonium L., Arctotheca calendula (L.), and Conyza bonariensis (L.) were identified as TSWV winter repositories. This study proposes a methodology to be used by field technicians for the annual evaluation of TSWV risk at a regional level, for an improved planning of processing tomato crop in the following season.Additional key words: GIS; monitoring; thrips; tomato for industry; tospovirus. Resumen Desarrollo de un método de evaluación de riesgos de incidencia de TSWV en una región productora de tomate para procesamientoSe ha elaborado un mapa de riesgos de incidencia del Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) para la región del Ribatejo y Península de Setúbal, la más importante productora de tomate de Portugal, y donde, periódicamente, el virus ocasiona importantes pérdidas. Se monitorizaron 49 parcelas de tomate al aire libre. Los factores de riesgo de infección por TSWV se identificaran y cuantificaran en base a su importancia relativa en la incidencia de la virosis: (1) presencia de TSWV en el cultivo de tomate; (2) presencia de TSWV en las hierbas adventicias hospedadores de los trips vectores; (3) presencia de trips vectores de TSWV; (4) presencia de cultivos hospedantes de TSWV previos (en los dos años anteriores), como tomate, patata y pimiento; y (5) presencia de invernaderos, áreas urbanas o cultivos hospedantes de TSWV en las proximidades (menos de 100 m de los bordes de las parcelas). Se estimó el riesgo de infección para cada parcela. Se detectaron cuatro especies de trips (Thysanoptera) vectoras del virus: Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) y Thrips tabaci Lindman, las más abundantes y F. intonsa (Trybom) y F. shultzei (Trybom), en menor proporción. Datura stramonium L., Arctotheca calendula (L.) y Conyza bonariensis (L.) actúan como reservorios ...
