Use of row cover in cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L.) to delay infection of aphid-transmitted viruses in Honduras

The yield response of cantaloupes grown unde Reemay row cover until female flower appearance was evaluated at La Granja, El Palenque, Los Patos and Monjaras, Departament of Choloteca, Honduras, during the second planting of the 1992-1993 season. Covered cantaloupes produced a significantly higher yi...

Covered cantaloupes produced a significantly higher yield (274 boxes/ha) than the uncovered cantaloupes. Virus incidence in plants ranged from p9.9% to 21.0% in non-covered plots and 0.8% to 2.6% in covered plots. The viruses CMV, PRSV, SqMV, WMV-2, ZYMV and Geminiviruses were detected in all three localities. Plants with symptoms of viral infection were first observed 6, 3, 6 and 4 weeks after planting in the noncovered plots at La Granja, El Palenque, Monjara and Los Patos, respectively. The covered plots at Los Patos did not have plants with visual symptoms of virus. At the other localities, symptoms were first observed 6 weeks after planting. Vegetative growth in the covered plants. Although row cover use was not economical in this study, adjustments in crop management may help to increase production to yields that would make its use profitable. Added benefits may be reductions of pesticide use and pest and virus inoculum build-up. Se evaluó el rendimiento de melones cultivados bajo cobertura flotante hasta la detección de flores femeninas, durante el segundo ciclo de siembras de la temporada 1992-1993, en La Granja, El Palenque, Los Patos y Monjarás, Departamento de Choluteca, Honduras. Los melones cubiertos tuvieron un rendimiento significativamente más alto de 274 cajas por hectárea más que los descubiertos. La incidencia de virus varió entre 9.9 por ciento y 21 por ciento en los lotes descubiertos y 0.8 por ciento y 2.6 por ciento en los cubiertos. En estos últimos, las primeras plantas sintomáticas se observaron en un promedio de tres semanas después de retirar la cobertura. El crecimiento vegetativo de las plantas cubiertas fue más elevado que el de las descubiertas. Aunque el uso de las coberturas no fue económico en este estudio, los ajustes en el manejo del cultivo ayudarían a incrementar los rendimientos para que su uso sea rentable. Son posibles los beneficios adicionales, como reducción en el uso de pesticidas e incidencia de plagas y virus. 2020-09-15T23:37:05Z 2020-09-15T23:37:05Z 1994-07 Artículo 0041-4360 https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/9584 en Turrialba; Volumen 44, Número 3 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ pdf application/pdf IICA, San José (Costa Rica)
