A grower-friendly method to transfer predacious mites to commercial orchards

The establishment of predacious mites in commercial orchards may be accelerated by the transfer of pruned wood in winter and summer from donor orchards to release orchards. Following winter pruning, 3-year-old and older wood is collected and transported as soon as possible in bundles to a release orchard for distribution. If the release orchard is composed of dwarf trees, then one or two bundles of 5 kg each are placed vertically at the base of the trunk of every tree in the block (0.5 to 1 ha); if the trees are of standard size, then four or five bundles used. Following summer pruning, annual shoots and suckers are distributed immediately in a release orchard composed of dwarf trees by placing 12–15 branches on the foliage of fruit-bearing branches; if the release orchard is composed of standard trees, then 50 branches are used. The pruned wood should have 20–25 leaves and not less than one predator per leaf. The release orchard should have a light infestation (two or three mites per leaf) of pest tetranychids. These phytophagous mites would serve as food and help establish the predators. The release orchard grower should develop a pest management program based on the same groups of pesticides used in the donor orchard. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Aug. 31, 2005.

Growth- and leaf-temperature effects on photosynthesis of sweet orange seedlings infected with Xylella fastidiosa

The effects of growth and leaf temperature on photosynthesis were evaluated in sweet orange seedlings ( Citrus sinensis cv. Pera) infected with Xylella fastidiosa (the bacterium that causes citrus variegated chlorosis, CVC). Measurements of leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll  a fluorescence were taken at leaf temperatures of 25, 30, 35 and 40°C in healthy and infected (without visible symptoms) seedlings submitted to two temperature regimes (25/20 or 35/20°C, day/night), not simultaneously. The CO₂ assimilation rates ( A ) and stomatal conductance ( g _s) were higher in healthy plants in both temperature regimes. Values for A and g _s of infected and healthy plants were higher in the 35/20°C regime, decreasing with leaf temperature increase. In addition, differences between healthy and infected plants were higher at 35/20°C, while no differences in chlorophyll  a fluorescence parameters were observed except for potential quantum efficiency of photosystem II, which was higher in infected plants. Low A values in infected plants were caused by low g _s and probably by biochemical damage to photosynthesis. The high alternative electron sink of infected plants was another effect of reduced A . Both high growth and high leaf temperatures increased differences in A between healthy and infected plants. Therefore this feature may be partially responsible for lower growth and/or productivity of CVC-affected plants in regions with high air temperature.

柑橘矢尖蚧发生期预测回归方程研究

矢尖蚧是危害柑橘生产的重要害虫之一,搞好测报可以指导适时防治.笔者在重庆市北碚区柑橘园对矢尖蚧进行多年系统监测,结果表明,矢尖蚧在该地一年发生3代,世代重叠,第1代发生较为整齐,便于统一防治.因此,以2012年-2018年该虫发生前3个月的气象资料和矢尖蚧发生的田间历史数据为依据,应用DPS软件,分别采用简单法和多因子...     

微胶囊双水相提取柑桔精油的工艺优化

为寻找一条适合工业化生产的低成本、低能耗、高效率的柑桔精油提取工艺路线,该文采用微胶囊与双水相联合萃取技术提取柑桔精油。结果表明：通过调整β-环糊精和硫酸钠的浓度比,可有效控制囊化萃取物中柑桔精油的质量。最终由正交试验设计确定出柑桔精油在萃取温度30℃、硫酸钠浓度15%、β-环糊精浓度40%、萃取时间30 min的条件下总收率高达96%以上。     

不同叶面肥对柑橘果实品质及产量的影响

探明不同种类叶面肥对柑橘果实品质及产量的影响,为柑橘提质增效提供理论依据。以柑橘品种“宫川”为试材,设置喷施清水（CK）、磷酸二氢钾（T1）、奇茵（T2）及欧甘（T3）4个处理,比较分析各处理对柑橘果实品质及产量的影响。结果表明,不同水溶肥对果实的单果重、纵径、横径及净重差异不显著。喷施叶面肥后,T1、T2、T3的可溶性固形物含量和可滴定酸含量比CK有所增加,但差异不显著。T2的可溶性固形物含量和可滴定酸含量最高,分别为9.39%、0.75%,显著高于CK,可溶性固形物含量比CK提高了14.93%,可滴定酸含量比CK提高了19.05%。T2、T3、T1处理的单株挂果数分别比CK高31.59%、16.28%、4.46%;T2、T3、T1处理的每公顷产量分别比CK高12.96%、6.57%、3.00%。结论：喷施叶面肥能提高柑橘果实品质和产量,T2的综合效果更好。
