“…Similar results were obtained by Ramalho et al (2012), which reported that spotless ladybird beetle and green licewing densities were signiÞcantly higher in intercropping system with three rows of cotton interspersed with two rows of fennel than in the other intercropping systems. Also Parajulee et al (1997), Amin et al (2005), Ma et al (2007), and Sarker et al (2007) found fewer pest insects in intercropping than sole cropping systems. According to Ramalho et al (2012), populations of A. gossypii were lower and the natural enemy populations higher in cotton with colored Þbers intercropped with fennel than in the sole cotton crop.…”

“…Intercropping systems represent a return to a more natural environment; they exhibit a higher biological diversity and, therefore, greater stability (Sarker et al 2007). In addition, these systems bring both dietary beneÞts as well as economic returns to the farmer, reducing the risk of total crop failure because of water stress, pest damage or losses incurred as a result of ßuctuating market prices (Araú jo et al 2008).…”

It is known that intercropping systems maintain biodiversity and control pest populations. The aim of this study was to describe the vertical and horizontal distribution of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, within the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in cotton with colored fibers and cotton-fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller) intercropping system over time, during two cotton seasons. Measurements of the aphid population's dynamics and distribution in the cotton plants were recorded at intervals of 7 d, from plant emergence until the appearance of the first open bolls. The number of aphids and their specific locations on the plant were recorded in relation to reference points (nodes on the plant's main stem as well as on leaves and fruit structures). The number of cotton aphids found on the cotton crop (11,444 cotton aphids) was significantly higher than the number found on the cotton-fennel intercrop (8,106). Considering the vertical distribution of cotton aphids on the plants, no significant interactions were observed among the crop system, plant age and plant region, between the crop system and plant age, or between the crop system and plant region. In the cotton system, aphid populations peaked between 74 and 95 d, whereas in the cotton-fennel intercropping system, aphid populations peaked between 74 and 102 d. The results obtained in this study could be useful in decision-making, implementing controls and determining the timing of population peaks of this aphid.

“…Therefore, AP are good candidates for testing of intercropping designs aimed at repelling or masking odors to disturb host selection by insect pests. Previous studies have demonstrated this in orchards (Song et al, 2010a,b), tea crop, Cammelia sinensis (L.) Kunze (Zhang et al, 2014), and vegetables (Sarker et al, 2007). In order to be useful to farmers, intercropping designs must preferentially include marketable plants.…”

The effects of intercropping aromatic plants (AP) on behavior and population development of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) were investigated in the field (adults) and in the greenhouse (nymphs). The responses of adults to the volatiles of tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. (Solanaceae), plants plus AP [T + coriander (Co), rue (R), marigold (M), Greek basil (B), or citronella (Ci)] vs. humidified air or tomato volatiles only were assessed in laboratory Y-tube olfactometer assays. We found higher responses of adult B. tabaci to the humidified air than to the T + Co, T + B, and T + Ci treatments. The responses to T + R and T + M were similar to those to the humidified air. Responses to tomato volatiles were also greater than to T + Co, T + B, and T + Ci. In field assays, populations of adult insects were evaluated in tomato alone, in tomato intercropped with coriander or Greek basil, and in tomato mulched with citronella grass for 6 weeks. Adult whiteflies were generally found in greater numbers in the tomato-alone treatment compared to tomato intercropped with coriander or basil and tomato with citronella grass mulch. Reduction in adult whitefly populations compared to the population found in tomato alone was 84, 79, and 69% in intercrops of T + Co and T + B, and the tomato with citronella mulch treatment, respectively. Infestations of B. tabaci nymphs in plots of tomato plants cultivated alone or intercropped with reseeded coriander plants were also determined in a greenhouse. Nymph counts in the greenhouse assay were generally lower in tomato intercropped with coriander than in tomato alone for all six assessments. The mean reduction in nymphs in tomato intercropped with coriander was 37.7% compared with tomato alone. These results indicate that intercropping aromatic plants reduces infestations of B. tabaci.

“…Our results are similar to those of Bosquée et al (2014), where the crop associations have been more attacked by aphids than the controls. However, the results of some authors have shown that the association with plants from different botanical families increase the aphid infestation (Sarker et al, 2007 ;Bickerton and Hamilton, 2012 ;Chevalier Mendes Lopes et al, 2014).…”

In Senegal, vegetable production is an important area within the agricultural sector and contributes to improve the local diet. Damage caused by aphids in particular puts heavy pressure on vegetables production. Crop associations play an important role in controlling insect pests in some countries. The aims of this study include investigations into the diversity of aphid and parasitoid populations, and an evaluation of the effects of crop associations between cabbage and pak choï. The experimental design used is a randomized block with four treatments and two controls, that is cabbage and pak choï , and two crop associations, that is pak choï between cabbage rows, and pak choï around cabbage beds. Two aphid species, Myzus persicae, and Lipaphis pseudobrassicae are identified. The Braconidae Diaeretiella rapae (Mac Intosh) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is the only parasitoid met during the study. Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is more abundant than Lipaphis pseudobrassicae (Davis). Myzus persicae and L. pseudobrassicae were not controlled by the cabbage / pak choï associations. Aphids populations decreased during the heading phase of the cabbage. This preliminary study contributes to a better understanding of the potential use of crop associations to manage cabbage aphid populations in Senegal.
