“…Major onion production and post-harvest loss constraints were high perishability, nature of the crop, market, linkage problem and low market price, lack of awareness of using post-harvest technologies, absence of better storable varieties, shortage of fertilizer access, disease and insect pests. The whole purchased produce never reached the consumer's hands. …”

“…But these compounds have been widely used as pesticides due to their effectiveness against all kinds of pests. In this study, a Needle Trap Device (NTD) packed with mesoporous organo-layered double hydroxide (organo-LDH) material and coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed for the sampling and analysis of OPs compounds (diazinon, ethion, malathion, parathion, and fenitrothion). …”

“…Despite the economic and social importance of cassava, challenges persist in developing superior varieties that meet the needs of farmers in terms of agronomic performance, nutritional quality, and resistance to pests and diseases. One of the main obstacles for genetic improvement is the lack of synchronization in flowering and the abortion of young flowers, making planned crosses and progeny production difficult. …”

“…Effects of abiotic environmental factors on phenolic compound concentrations in the plant tissue may represent one of the major underlying mechanisms, as these compounds are known to play a substantial role in plant resistance to pests. In particular, this applies to conifer trees, in which a large range of phenolic compounds are produced constitutively and/or induced by pathogen attack. …”

“…Two bruchid species, Callosobruchus maculatus and Callosobruchus chinensis, are the most significant stored insect pests of tropical legume crops. Previously, we identified a major QTL, qBr6.1, controlling seed resistance to these bruchids in the cultivated zombi pea (Vigna vexillata) accession ‘TVNu 240’. …”

“…The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of hematophagous mites that infest commercial egg and meat production systems and the consequences of this form of parasitism, and discuss the chemical and non-chemical methods of control associated with the use of plants, entomopathogenic fungi, and products based on diatomaceous earth and synthetic silica, and new lines of research aimed at developing vaccines as a new way of controlling these pests. ABSTRACT: The blood-sucking mites Dermanyssus gallinae (“red mite”), Ornithonyssus sylviarum (“northern fowl mite”), and Ornithonyssus bursa (”tropical fowl mite”) stand out for causing infestations in commercial poultry farms worldwide, resulting in significant economic damage for producers. …”

“…Tomato plants have trichomes that appear as hair-like structures on the stems and produce an oily substance; the trichomes not only produce the scent of the plant, but also provide protection from cold, drought, disease, and pests. Initially, when the oily substance contacts the skin, the skin appears yellow; subsequently, the skin may become black. …”
