“…The maximum weight of fruits per plot (in kg) was recorded in treatment T4 Zucchini + Aluminium foil (On the ridge) (1.99 kg) whereas, the minimum weight of fruits per plot (in kg) was recorded in treatment T5 Zucchini + Green net (0.34 kg). The maximum weight of fruits per plot (in kg) in T4 Zucchini + Aluminium foil (On the ridge) might be due to increased yield per plant (in kg).The results are in close conformity with the findings of Czinsky et al [11], Yoltas et al [12], Resende and Floria (2003) in cucumber, and Rodriguez et al [6].…”

The present investigation was performed to study the effect of inter-cultivation and physical barriers on growth, yield and disease occurrence in zucchini during January-March, 2022. The field trial was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications keeping the plot size 1.5 m x 1.5 m. During the experiment, observations for plant height, number of leaves, number of nodes, days to flower initiation (staminate and pistillate), total number of staminate and pistillate flowers, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits, yield per hectare etc were recorded. The results revealed that the treatment T4 Zucchini + Aluminium foil (On the ridge) recorded maximum plant height (38.33 cm at 30 DAS, 49.75 cm at 45 DAS, 62.75 cm at 60 DAS), number of nodes (21.08), number of leaves per plant (19.58), minimum number of days to flower initiation (39.00 in case of staminate flowers and 44.83 in case of pistillate flowers), maximum number of staminate flowers (8.58) and pistillate flowers (13.00), maximum number of fruits per plant(5.33), maximum weight of fruits per plant (0.749 kg), maximum weight of fruits per plot (1.99 kg) and yield per hectare (7.49 t/ha-1 ).

“…different materials applied to cover the soil around crop plants, reduce the number of alighting aphids, and are able to reduce the incidence of aphid-transmitted virus diseases. The materials applied included aluminium, and white, black or differently coloured (blue, green, silver, and gold) plastic mulch (Dickson and Laird 1966;Adlerz and Everett 1968;Heathcote 1968;Kring 1970;Daiber and Donaldson 1976;Eulitz 1977;Wyman et al 1979;Liburd et al 1998;Yoltas et al 2001;and references in Dö ring et al 2004).…”

We review the rich literature on behavioural responses of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to stimuli of different colours. Only in one species there are adequate physiological data on spectral sensitivity to explain behaviour crisply in mechanistic terms. Because of the great interest in aphid responses to coloured targets from an evolutionary, ecological and applied perspective, there is a substantial need to expand these studies to more species of aphids, and to quantify spectral properties of stimuli rigorously. We show that aphid responses to colours, at least for some species, are likely based on a specific colour opponency mechanism, with positive input from the green domain of the spectrum and negative input from the blue and/ or UV region. We further demonstrate that the usual yellow preference of aphids encountered in field experiments is not a true colour preference but involves additional brightness effects. We discuss the implications for agriculture and sensory ecology, with special respect to the recent debate on autumn leaf colouration. We illustrate that recent evolutionary theories concerning aphid-tree interactions imply far-reaching assumptions on aphid responses to colours that are not likely to hold. Finally we also discuss the implications for developing and optimising strategies of aphid control and monitoring.
