“…Researchers have found that a sorghum and sunflower trap crop for H. halys (without supplemental pheromone) was not effective at reducing injury under high population pressure. 27 Blaauw et al 28 found that while H. halys was initially retained by the same trap crop, adults ultimately dispersed to the cash crop in the absence of other management tactics, but retention may be improved with supplemental pheromone. 30 Morrison et al 45 also found that aggregation pheromone was a more important determinant for retention than host stimuli, thus suggesting that inclusion of pheromone, in addition to an attractive host, is pivotal for retention and adequate management of H. halys.…”

“…The highly polyphagous and mobile behavior of BMSB has been exploited by investigating the use of trap crops as a management tactic, with grain sorghum and sunflower identified as the most attractive among five plant species (109). Sunflower alone used as a trap crop for peppers did not reduce injury (132); the use of sorghum plus sunflower as trap crop species attracted BMSB, although injury to organic peppers was only minimally reduced (92). The use of harmonic radar and protein markers to quantify retention within the sunflower and sorghum trap crop showed that the trap crop itself was more attractive than the pepper cash crop but did not act as a population sink (22).…”

The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is an invasive pentatomid introduced from Asia into the United States, Canada, multiple European countries, and Chile. In 2010, BMSB populations in the mid-Atlantic United States reached outbreak levels and subsequent feeding severely damaged tree fruit as well as other crops. Significant nuisance issues from adults overwintering inside homes were common. BMSB is a highly polyphagous species with a strong dispersal capacity and high reproductive output, potentially enabling its spread and success in invaded regions. A greater understanding of BMSB biology and ecology and its natural enemies, the identification of the male-produced aggregation pheromone, and the recognition that BMSB disperses into crops from adjacent wooded habitats have led to the development of behavior-based integrated pest management (IPM) tactics. Much is still unknown about BMSB, and continued long-term collaborative studies are necessary to refine crop-specific IPM programs and enhance biological control across invaded landscapes.

“…These treatments, in addition to organic fertilization, had in common that they were surrounded by trap crops. The above demonstrates a protection effect or roselle, as has been shown to occur with other trap crops [17] and this helped reduce the papayas' weight loss. Similar results were reported by Reganold et al [30], who found that weight loss in strawberries was significantly lower in organic crops (25.40%) compared to those grown conventionally (27.52%).…”

“…This has been shown to occur in cucurbit crops, where damage caused by predators has been reduced; the health of the plants is improved, and consequently the physicochemical and sensory quality of the fruits is increased [16]. The damage caused by stink bugs in pepper fruits was also minimized using sunflower and sorghum as trap crops [17].…”

Organic Management of ‘Maradol’ Papaya (Carica papaya L.) Crops: Effects on the Sensorial and Physicochemical Characteristics of Fruits

The Maradol Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a fleshy berry produced in the tropics; it is highly appreciated around the world for its high nutritional and medicinal value, as well as its attractive sensory properties. Evaluating the physiological, chemical, and sensory characteristics of ‘Maradol’ papaya fruits from organically managed crops was the primary objective of this study. Four treatments (T1–T4) were evaluated, all of which were fertilized using the same organic management practices. In addition, plant extracts were applied regularly to T1–T3 as pest control, and single (T2) and double (T1) rows of trap plants (roselle) were used. T4 did not receive additional treatment. Fruits under conventional agriculture outside the experimental site were included for comparative purposes (controls). The organic management of the plants did not negatively influence the physiological traits of postharvest ripening. Among the organic treatments, T1 fruits had the highest total soluble solids, vitamin C, and reducing sugars, as well as the lowest weight loss, which significantly improved the quality of the fruit, compared to conventionally produced fruits. In addition, sensory evaluation performed by trained judges, revealed that fruits from the organically managed plots (T1–T4) were the softest and juiciest, and had a higher score in fruit and papaya aroma, in contrast to the conventionally produced fruits, which turned out to be sour, more astringent, and less soft and juicy. The results show that the exclusively organic management of ‘Maradol’ papaya crops improves several post-harvest traits of the fruits, compared to those that can be purchased commercially and are conventionally grown.
