In tests for T. urticae were employed the leaf-disk bioassay. Two μl of the L.albus extract using a micro-applicator were topically applied using a micro-applicator on C. maculatus and P. interpunctella. In the assays of T. urticae , the concentrations of 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.12, 1.56, 0.78 % (w/w) of the plant extracts were used. Furthermore, the concentrations of 10, 5, 2.50, 1.25, 0.625% (w/w) were applied to P. interpunctella and C. maculatus . Mortality data was collected 24, 48 and 72 hours after application . L. albus extract was found to be quite effective to T. urticae adults with the death rate of 98% mortality in 48 hours and at 12.5% concentrations. The mortality rate (%64) of P. interpunctella larvae were found for the highest value at 72 hours and at 25% concentration. The mortality rate values of C. maculatus adults from L. albus extract at 72 hours were 96, 96 and 100% .at concentrations of %2.5, 5 and 10 %, respectively. In seeds were detected metabolite content, which 686.99 mg GAE / 100 mg total phenol, 22.06 mg QE / 100 mg total flavonoid, DPPH 26.04 mg TE / 100 g antioxidant activity. The toxic effect and bitterness of the plant is due to its high secondary metabolites content. Results indicated that Lupin seed extract had the high toxic effect on T. urticae and C. maculatus.","PeriodicalId":41577,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87530679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, 80 leaf samples were collected tomato, pepper, cucumber and grapevine cultivation sites located in three different parts of Hakkari province: Şemdinli and Cukurca districts and city center. Real-time TaqMan RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction) method was used for the detection of the virus. Amplification was carried out in reaction mix including TaqMan probe, QuantiNova Probe RT-PCR kit (Qiagen, Germany) using primers based on 3’-UTR (untranslated region) of virus, which amplified a 182-bp product. ToRSV was detected in 13 of 80 samples and treshold cycle (CT) values ranged between 23.9–37.4. 16.25% of the samples collected from the districts were found to be infected with ToRSV whereas no ToRSV was detected in the samples collected from the city center. In Cukurca district, the virus was detected on pepper and cucumber samples and it was present on tomato, pepper, cucumber and grapevine samples in Şemdinli district.

In order to determine the resistance ratios of aphid populations against the insecticides, 1 control and 6 doses were used. Each insecticide dose was used in 3 replicates and 25 adult female individuals were used in each replication. For imidacloprid, the highest and the lowest resistance ratios were found to be 6.88 and 3.19-fold, in K-4 and D populations, respectively. For acetamiprid, the highest and the lowest resistance ratios were found to be 7.35 and 2.72-fold, in K-1 and E-2 populations, respectively. Also, highest and lowest esterase activities were found to be 2.60 and 1.75 mOD min-1 mg-1 in K-4 and E-2 populations, respectively. According to the results of this study, imidacloprid and acetamiprid resistance determined in some Myzus persicae populations may be related to esterase enzyme. However, detailed studies are required to establish a clear relationship between resistance and enzyme.","PeriodicalId":41577,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"5 1","pages":"26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87516053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, corn (Zea mays) grain processing companies evaluate the quality of kernels to determine the price of these cultivars. Because of this reason, in the study, a computer image analysis technique was applied on three corn cultivars. These were Zea mays L. indentata, Zea mays L. saccharata and a hybrid corn (Yellow sweet corn). These cultivars are commercially important as dry grains in Turkey. In the study, the grain color values were tested in the cultivars from Turkey’s collection. One hundred samples were used for each corn cultivar, and 300 corn grains in total were used for evaluations. Each of nine color parameters (Rmin, Rmean, Rmax, Gmin, Gmean, Gmax, Bmin, Bmean, Bmax) which were obtained from original RGB color channels with maximum and minimum values was evaluated from the digital images of three different corn cultivar grains. The values were analyzed with the help of the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Decision Tree (DT), Gradient Boost Decision Tree (GBDT) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms by using the Knime Analytics Platform. The majority voting method was applied to MLP and DT for prediction fusion. All algorithms were run with a 10-fold cross-validation method. The success of prediction accuracy was found as 99% for RF and GBDT, 97.66% for MLP, 96.66% DT and 97.40% for Majority Voting (MAVL).

The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications. The results showed that the seed/grain yields and the Leaf area index of sole soybean and sole maize outperformed the intercropping. The highest yields for both maize (8.0 t ha-1) and soybean (3.26 t ha-1) and land equivalent ratio (1.26) were recorded at 1 maize + 2 soybeans in alternate rows among the intercropping. The effect of Vitormone was significantly positive for all cropping system except 1 maize + 1 soybean in alternate rows. This suggests that 1 maize + 2 soybeans in alternate rows can intercrop and combine with the Vitormone.
