Abstract:
... Phalaenopsis orchid (the moth orchid; Phalaenopsis spp.) is the most sold indoor's potted plant in the world's major floriculture markets. In the present study, the effects of night interruption light (NIL) quality and different NPK fertilizers were evaluated on the vegetative growth and flowering of Phalaenopsis orchid ‘Evolution’ in a factorial experiment based on Randomized Complete Block Desig ...
... Sunflower ‘Sunfinity’ (Helianthus hybrida) can be produced as a potted plant if apical dominance is removed with a manual pinch to control plant height and promote branching and flower number. Chemical pinching agents such as dikegulac sodium could prove to be valuable tools to reduce the labor and costs associated with manual pinching. Our objective was to determine the time of seedling growth an ...
... Orius species are predators of mites and many small insects such as aphids, scales, thrips, and insect eggs. Five insecticides (buprofezin, flonicamid, sulfoxaflor, flupyradifurone, and spirotetramat) and two acaricides (spiromesifen and emamectin benzoate) with low toxicity to natural enemies that are being used to control those pest groups were evaluated for their acute toxicity against adult fe ...
... The cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a plant lice known to commonly attack plants that causes loss by sucking sap from phloem and act as vector for viruses. The aphidophagous coccinellids are efficient in controlling the pestiferous population of aphids. The two coccinellid Coccinella septempunctata and Cheilomenes sexmaculata are efficient in predation of cowpea aphid, ...

Abstract:
... Thelaxes suberi (Del Guercio) was found for the first time in North America. The first collection was on a single potted oak tree in rural Marion County, Florida. Morphological and molecular techniques were used to determine the identity of this adventive species. The find was reported first only as a quarantinable pest, because the prior whereabouts of the potted plant were not known. However, su ...

Abstract:
... Though choice overload has been extensively studied in packaged products, fewer studies have explored these phenomena in minimally packaged agribusiness products such as potted plants. This matters as these products are heterogeneous not only across product categories but also within the same plant genus, changing the baseline cognitive load for consumer decision‐making. This study uses eye‐tracki ...

Abstract:
... Poinsettia is an economically important ornamental potted plant in which certain bract colour variants are often obtained by mutation breeding. Previously, in poinsettia, we identified Bract1, a GST gene involved in the sequestration and transport of anthocyanins to the vacuole. This gene carries a short, highly mutable 4‐bp repeat in its coding region. Loss of one repeat unit leads to a loss of f ...

Abstract:
... Dahlia (Dahlia variablis) is a tuberous rooted tender perennial speciality cut flower, widely used as a bedding ornamental and as potted plant. A field experiment was conducted to examine the growth, flowering and yield response of pompon dahlia on application of composted organic manures (farmyard manure [FYM], vermicompost, mustard cake, bone meal, poultry manure, neem cake, liquid cow dung manu ...
... Results revealed that treating irradiated eggs of Corcyra chephalonica Stainton with hexane extract of cotton leaves and tomato leaves at 10000 ppm recorded maximum parasitism of 80.66 and 75.92% by T. chilonis, respectively whereas in control (Hexane) 40.66% parasitism was recorded. Maximum adult emergence (75.92%) was observed on hexane extract of tomato leaves followed by cotton leaves (72.67%) ...
... Hippeastrum sp. is a popular cut flower and a popular potted plant, currently occupying the 11ᵗʰ position among cut flowers sold on the Dutch flower auctions. Hippeastrum × chmielii was bred by Henryk Chmiel at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS), Poland. The aim of this study was designed to test the ability of two clones of H. × chmielii to reproduce generatively by pollinating by thre ...
... Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit peel (PFPAE) aqueous extract was evaluated for the possible control of common sucking pests of roses viz., aphids (Macrosiphum roseiformis Davis), thrips (Scirthothrips dorsalis Hood) and two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch). Toxicity bioassays were done with both leaf dip and potted plant treatment and compared with positive control (imidaclop ...

Abstract:
... Ceratocystis wilt and canker disease has devastated Acacia mangium plantations in south-east Asia. Current screening methodologies to identify resistant or tolerant germplasm use potted plants in a greenhouse as a preliminary screening to select material for field trials, but these tests are time-consuming, motivating a search for rapid screening protocols. In this study, inoculation procedures we ...
... Most plant species are pollinated by animals, mainly insects, who adjust their foraging behaviour to the spatial distribution of rewards. Any changes in rewards of individual plants could then affect pollen dispersal at the level of plant patches or populations. Such change in floral rewards often results from infection by plant pathogens, for example by anther smuts (i.e. no pollen and reduced ne ...
... Background: Aloe vera belongs to the family Liliaceae and genus Aloe with a survival rate of up to 50 years under satisfactory conditions. It has been used since >5000 years to cure many kinds of human diseases. This plant is also used for ornamental purposes as an indoor potted plant. Aloe vera finds various applications in allopathic and homeopathic medicine. Objectives: Current review was gener ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Primulina pungentisepala is suitable for use as a potted plant because of its beautiful leaf variegation, which is significantly different in its selfed offspring. However, the mechanism of P. pungentisepala leaf variegation is unclear. In this study, two types of offspring showing the greatest differences were compared in terms of leaf structure, chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll fluo ...

Abstract:
... Weed management using synthetic herbicides is undergoing a global decline, necessitating a re‐evaluation of existing control measures and the development of novel weed management tools. ‘Mini‐ridging’ is a non‐discriminatory, physical weeding method that functions by burying weeds in the intrarow with a laterally shifted ridge of soil. In glasshouse trials using potted plants, we found that plant ...
