“…Eradication of alternative hosts for whitefly and Cotton leaf curl viruses. Plant health could be improved through nutrition management and application of biological agents (Huseth et al, 2016;Follett, 2017). The management advices of the whitefly in Pakistan are based on threshold level (4-5) whiteflies/leaf regardless of reality a single infected whitefly can transmit CLCuV.…”

“…For example, seed treatment for avoiding the early establishment of whitefly populations, control of whitefly using pesticides on cotton crop, eradication of weeds (alternative host for virus), better health of the plant through providing balance dose of fertilizers, biological agents, etc. were the immediate measures taken to control this disease ( Narula et al, 1999 ; Cook et al, 2011 ; Cuthbertson et al, 2011 ; Yuan et al, 2012 ; Basit et al, 2013 ; Smalling et al, 2013 ; Horowitz and Ishaaya, 2014 ; Hollis, 2015 ; Huseth et al, 2016 ; Follett, 2017 ).…”

Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) after its first epidemic in 1912 in Nigeria, has spread to different cotton growing countries including United States, Pakistan, India, and China. The disease is of viral origin—transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, which is difficult to control because of the prevalence of multiple virulent viral strains or related species. The problem is further complicated as the CLCuD causing virus complex has a higher recombination rate. The availability of alternate host crops like tomato, okra, etc., and practicing mixed type farming system have further exaggerated the situation by adding synergy to the evolution of new viral strains and vectors. Efforts to control this disease using host plant resistance remained successful using two gene based-resistance that was broken by the evolution of new resistance breaking strain called Burewala virus. Development of transgenic cotton using both pathogen and non-pathogenic derived approaches are in progress. In future, screening for new forms of host resistance, use of DNA markers for the rapid incorporation of resistance into adapted cultivars overlaid with transgenics and using genome editing by CRISPR/Cas system would be instrumental in adding multiple layers of defense to control the disease—thus cotton fiber production will be sustained.

“…In order to minimize the use of chemical acaricides, it is imperative to explore an alternative approach for population prediction and management of pest mites (Yan et al 2022). Host-plant resistance can affect phytophagous pests' growth and development as well as enhance the diversity of natural enemies, hence considered one of the most effective and perdurable approaches in integrated pest management (IPM) systems (Follett 2017, Zhang et al 2022a). Thus, breeding potato cultivars resistant to T. truncatus is paramount for potato production.…”

Tetranychus truncatus Ehara (Acari: Tetranychidae) has become one of the major phytophagous pests in China in recent years, and is found on a wide range of host plants. However, little information is available on the population performance of this arthropod pest on potatoes. In this study, we explored the population growth of T. truncatus on two drought-tolerant potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars under laboratory conditions using the age-stage, two-sex life table. Tetranychus truncatus completed its entire life history on both potato cultivars tested, Holland 15 and Longshu 10. There was no significant difference between two potato cultivars in developmental duration. Tetranychus truncatus had shorter adult longevity (20.61 days), adult female longevity (20.41 days), and total female longevity (33.66 days) on Longshu 10 than Holland 15 (21.16 days, 21.19 days, and 34.38 days, respectively). However, it exhibited a higher preadult survival rate, higher fecundity (F = 88.32 eggs per female), and relatively higher population parameters when reared on Longshu 10 than on Holland 15 (F = 75.70 eggs per female). Growth projection also showed that the population size of T. truncatus on Longshu 10 (expand 750-fold) was larger than that on Holland 15 (expand 273-fold) after 60 days. Our results demonstrate that the drought-sensitive potato variety, Holland 15, is relatively resistant to T. truncatus compared with the drought-tolerant variety, Longshu 10, and suggest that T. truncatus exhibited a trade-off between longevity and reproduction on both potato cultivars. Our findings provide information on population prediction, which may aid the management of this pest mite species of potatoes.
