Feeding spots made by adult females can also reduce yield, although except with ornamental crops, this is usually of less s

Greenhouse whitefly

serious cases the fruit will rot. Sooty moulds also develop on the leaves, reducing photosynthesis and transpiration. Viruses can be transmitted. The consumption [...] consumption of plant sap and secreting of honeydew by whiteflies reduce the aesthetic value of crops. This is particularly important in ornamentals . Life

Western flower thrips

excreta indicate their presence in the crop. The vigour of the plant is reduced by loss of chlorophyll. When infestations become serious the leaves themselves [...] very low numbers of thrips can cause damage by transmitting viruses, or by reducing aesthetic value by damaging flowers, e.g. in roses The western flower thrips

Aphidius matricariae

is most effective between 15 and 25°C (59 and 77°F). The effectivity is reduced at temperatures above 28°C/82°F. Behaviour of the parasitic wasp Aphidius [...] matricariae plays a crucial role in controlling aphid infestations and reducing the need for chemical interventions in agriculture. Adult wasps do not

Northern Corn Rootworm

only bear a few kernels. Larval feeding disrupts root system function, reducing the amount of water and nutrients available to developing corn plants, [...] Extensive root injury makes plants more likely fall over (lodging), which reduces crop yield due to increased difficulty harvesting. Stalks take on a bowed

Plant Pollinator interactions in high temperatures

Shading reduces flower temperature (and thus pollen). If a shade curtain is not available, whitewash or heat reducing paints can be used to reduce the amount [...] Cold climates allow for the maximum temperature in the greenhouse to be reduced below the danger levels for pollination. Pollination also has a minimum [...] quality. The plants, flowers, and pollination Flower quality can also be reduced by factors other than hot climate conditions. Pollination demands energy

Cucumber

Early identification of pests and diseases allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of widespread infestations or outbreaks. Monitoring involves recording [...] promptly, growers can minimize the impact on crop yield and quality while reducing the environmental footprint associated with chemical treatments. Pheromone
