Integrated Management of Aphid Vectors and Associated Viral Diseases of Passion Fruit in Uganda
Abstract
113 words
This study is intended to develop management strategies for
aphid vectors and viral diseases on passion fruit in Uganda. In
the absence of resistant varieties, the management techniques
evaluated here will provide much needed information for
commercial and small-scale passion fruit farmers. Techniques
developed will be integrated within current strategies that are
expected to manage vegetation to enhance the efficacy of
natural enemies. With the validation of vector transmission,
pesticide efficacy will be established for sole application or
integration with non-chemical control measures for improved
effectiveness in management. Being in the early stages of
development, and considering the scale of evaluation, these
techniques will be evaluated in on-station trials for later validation
on-farm.
