UV radiation effects on pathogens and insect pests of greenhouse‐grown crops

Abstract: Production of high-value crops is often performed under protected cultivation. In recent years various spectral modifications have been made in greenhouse covers. Two of the main reasons to modify the spectral characteristics of greenhouse covers have been to suppress the proliferation of several foliar diseases and to protect crops from insects and insect-borne virus diseases of greenhouse-grown crops. These goals were achieved by complete or partial absorption of solar UV radiation, which interrupts the life… Show more

“…In Israel, no significant differences were found on growth, yield, maturation time and fresh and dry weight values of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) grown under UV-absorbing films (Raviv & Antignus, 2004). In studies carried out in Spain, an increase in tomato yield was reported when UV-absorbing films were used (González et al, 2004;Monci et al, 2004).…”

“…UV-absorbing films do not only block insect pests but also reduce spread of insect-borne viruses (Raviv & Antignus, 2004). Furthermore, UV-absorbing films can reduce crop diseases caused by a range of fungi that use UV as an environmental cue for sporulation (Nigel et al, 2005).…”

“…The use of UV-absorbing plastic films that block near-UV light radiation (300-400 nm) in greenhouse cultivation has been shown to be effective for preventing different types of pests from entering greenhouses (Nakagaki et al 1982(Nakagaki et al , 1984Raviv and Antignus 2004). Insect eyes are highly sensitive to near-UV light radiation and vision in the UV range is important for orientation in many species (Prokopy and Owens 1983).…”

Could these contrasting results arise because UVR increased host susceptibility (as sometimes seen in other systems [45,46])?…”
