zucchini squash, Coolong (p. 296) found that even without virus or disease pressure, yields of both yellow and zucchini squash were more than 30% lower in the fall than in the spring, despite similar numbers of harvests. The consistency of these findings

‘Bonita’ sweetpotato [ Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] was developed by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station to provide a specialty-type white-fleshed, tan-skinned cultivar similar to ‘O'Henry’ but with southern root-knot nematode and soil rot

agroclimatic variables measured within 20 DAT and U.S. #1 sweetpotato yield from experimental plots under uniform management conditions. We assumed the absence of influence from weeds, disease, insect pests, and chemical injury. The long-term goal is to develop

Agricultural Center, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 Viral diseases can lower sweetpotato yields. Currently, the most widely used control strategy for sweetpotato viruses is the implementation of programs that provide virus-tested materials to growers. However

disease in sweetpotato is the Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD), a result of co-infection of Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) and Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV). Characteristic symptoms include chlorosis, small, deformed leaves

important vectors of numerous plant viruses ( Kousik et al., 2012 ; Togni et al., 2010 ). The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), is particularly abundant in warm habitats ( McKenzie et al., 2004 ) and feeds on over 1000 plant species ( Abd
