“…The findings of the present study are in agreement with Kumar et al (2005); Hilje et al (2001); Palumbo et al (2001); Csizinsky et al (1997) and Sastry, (1989) who also found that uprooting, application of oils and insecticides had some positive impact on disease reduction and yield increase. Among the tested oils, neem was found as the best to reduce the TYLCV disease incidence of tomato and there by produced higher yield.…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to search for eco-friendly alternative packages for the management of TYLCV. Oils of plant origin have been reported for the reduction of white fly infestation (Sastry, 1989;Butler et al, 1991;Csizinsky et al, 1997). Accordingly, the present study was designed to improve both the quality and quantity of tomato production through sustainable and eco-friendly management of whitefly and TYLCV in Bangladesh.…”

Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is the vector of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), is a serious pest of vegetables and other crops worldwide. The experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural Research institute (BARI) during two consecutive years of 2009 and 2010 to select a suitable bio-rational management practice against white fly, transmitting TYLCV. Treatments comprising tomato variety Ratan with diseased plant uprooting, spraying admire, applying admire on trap crop (marigold), spraying neem, sesame and mustard oil with trix and the untreated control were used in this experiment. The variety Opurba with similar materials as described above was used. Percent virus infected tomato plants ranged from 1.33 to 19.00 in two consecutive years, where the highest infection was recorded in control plot with variety Opurba and the lowest was recorded in variety Ratan treated with Admire. Consequently, the highest yield (47.70 and 52.36 t ha -1 in 1 st and 2 nd year, respectively) in the plots of variety Ratan treated with admire and the lowest yield was recorded in untreated control plots with variety Opurba (14.75 and 30.30 t ha -1 ) for the two consecutive years. A strong positive correlation was observed between whitefly population and % TYLCV infection for both the years and both varieties of tomato. While a negative correlation was observed between % TYLCV infection with number of fruits plants -1 and yield (t ha -1 ) for both the years and in both varieties of tomato. These results are consistent with the occurrences of TYLCV, which have been associated with the percent virus infection in relation to yield and yield contributing characters of tomato.

“…Suwwan et al (1988) and Streck et al (1995), when comparing opaque and reflective mulches, observed that tomato yield was not significantly affected by the type of mulch employed. Csizinszky et al (1997) and Mahmoudpour and Stapleton (1997), however, obtained significantly higher yields in reflective mulches than in all the other treatments, probably due to the fact that the materials tested in those experiments were not photodegradable and covered completely the soil until the end of the crop cycle. Csizinszky et al (1997) also associated the highest yield in silver mulch to lower soil temperature and greater photosynthetically active radiation reflected from the mulch onto the plants, also reducing the high populations of whiteflytransmitted Tomato mottle virus (TMoV).…”

“…In general, plastic mulches increase soil temperature in relation to bare soil, these increases resulting higher in clear and dark materials than in the reflective colours such as white or silver/aluminium (Csizinszky et al, 1997;Rangarajan and Ingall, 2001). In the latter, the temperatures can even be lower than in bare soil (Liakatas et al, 1986;Lamont, 1996).…”

“…Clear mulch provides an even warmer soil environment than black plastic mulch, but requires the use of another technique to control weeds (herbicide, soil fumigant or solarization). White, whiteon-black and silver/aluminium reflective mulches can result in a slight increase or even a slight decrease in soil temperature compared to bare soil, tending to minimize changes in soil temperature, because they reflect back into the plant canopy most of the incoming solar radiation (Ham et al, 1993;Csizinszky et al, 1997). Therefore, these mulches are recommended when soil temperatures are high and any reduction in this parameter is beneficial for the crops (Lamont, 1993;Díaz et al, 2001).…”

Black polyethylene as mulch is the most extended material among vegetable growers; however, photodegradable and biodegradable films have appeared as an alternative to conventional mulches due to the risk of the progressive contamination of soils. Reflective materials reflect back most of the incoming solar radiation, being recommended in areas characterized by high soil temperatures. We compared the effect of three mulches, black polyethylene, black biodegradable corn starch plastic and aluminized photodegradable plastic on a tomato crop in an open field. We measured mulch deterioration, soil temperature under mulches, tomato yield and fruit quality attributes (total soluble solids, firmness, dry weight, juice content and shape). Biodegradable mulch performed its function successfully and disappeared visually from the soil about three months after the crop was finished. Photodegradable mulch deteriorated prematurely and polyethylene film was practically intact at the end of season. Significant differences in mean soil temperature under mulches were observed (27.8ºC in biodegradable, 28.7ºC in aluminized and 31.8ºC in polyethylene), although they did not have a marked effect on the crop yield. Marketable yields were similar in both biodegradable and polyethylene mulches (9.82 and 8.66 kg m -2 , respectively), and higher than those recorded in aluminized photodegradable mulch (6.85 kg m -2 ), which resulted in the highest sunscald in fruits. No effect on the fruit quality attributes was observed. Biodegradable plastic mulches could be a good alternative to the traditional plastic films, and aluminized photodegradable mulches seem not very advisable because they reduce marketable yield and could increase the incidence of sunscald.Additional keywords: biodegradable mulch, fruit quality attributes, photodegradable mulch, polyethylene mulch, reflective mulch, soil temperature, yield. Resumen Comparación de diferentes materiales de acolchado en un cultivo de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.)El polietileno negro es el acolchado más utilizado por los horticultores; sin embargo, debido al riesgo de progresiva contaminación de los suelos, han aparecido materiales fotodegradables y biodegradables como alternativa a los convencionales. Los materiales reflectivos reflejan la mayor parte de la radiación solar incidente, siendo recomendados en zonas con altas temperaturas de suelo. Se ha comparado el efecto de tres acolchados, polietileno negro, plástico negro biodegradable de almidón de maíz y plástico aluminizado fotodegradable, en un cultivo de tomate al aire libre. Se ha controlado su deterioro visual, la temperatura del suelo, la cosecha y parámetros de calidad de los frutos (sólidos solubles, firmeza, peso seco, jugosidad y forma). El material biodegradable cumplió con éxito su función y desapareció visualmente unos tres meses después de finalizar el cultivo. El fotodegradable se deterioró rápidamente y el polietileno negro permaneció prácticamente intacto al final del ciclo. Se observaron diferencias significativa...
