Anthurium andraeanum Lind. (Araceae) is an economically important tropical potted and fresh-cut ornamental flower species ( Dufour and Guerin, 2003 ). Studies have shown that reduced light intensity under conditions of excessive shading or
Anthurium ( Anthurium andraeanum Lind.) is one of the important cut flowers in the global tropical cut flower market ( Pizano, 2005 ). Recently it has become a popular cut flower in Taiwan, and its cultivation acreage and yield have increased

Abstract
Cold storage at 13°C or storage in 2% O, at 24–25°C was beneficial for extending the vase life of cut ‘Ozaki’ flowers of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum Lind.).
Abstract
Dimethoate 4EC, fenpropathrin 2.4EC, fluvalinate 2F, oxamyl 2L, chlor-pyrifos 4EC, malathion 5EC, diazinon 4EC, and oxydemeton-methyl 2EC insecticides significantly reduced injury of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum Lind. & Andre cv. Ozaki) flowers by the orchid thrips, Chaetanaphothrips orchidii (Moulton). Injury was characterized by white streaks and/or scarrings occurring primarily on the abaxial surface only or on both adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the spathe. Injury on the adaxial surface occurred only at 0.15% of all thrips-injured spathes observed during the study period. Thrips injury on anthurium flowers in control plots during Aug. 1984 to Sept. 1985 decreased to 3% during Feb. and Mar. 1985, and increased to 90% during Sept. 1985. Chemical names used: O,O-dimethyl S-[2-(methylamino)-2-oxoeth-yl]phosphorodithoate (dimethoate); (Rs)-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl cyclopropanecarboxylate (fenpropathrin); N-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-DL-valine (±)-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl ester (fluvalinate); S-{2-(ethyl suffinyl)ethyl}O,O-dimethylphosphorothioate (oxydemeton-methyl); methyl 2-dimethylamino)-N-[[(methylamino)carbonyl]oxy]-2-oxoethanimidothioate (oxamyl); O,O-diethyl 0-[6-methyl-α-(1-methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl] phosphorothioate (diazinon); O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl)-phosphorothioate (chlorpyrifos); and diethyl [(dimethoxyphos-phinothiovl)thio] butanedioate (malathion).

In field crops the origin and movement of bacterial inoculum is difficult to determine due to inadequate means of distinguishing strains of bacteria. In this study the introduction, establishment, and spread of Xanthomonas campestris pv. dieffenbachiae (McCulloch and Pirone) Dye into anthurium fields were examined by monitoring the distribution of serologically distinct strains recovered from propagation benches and production fields. One thousand Anthurium andraeanum Lind. plants were indexed for X. c. pv. dieffenbachiae and 962 were later introduced into a production field. Strains recovered from the propagative stock were serotyped using a panel of 10 monoclonal antibodies and serotypes were compared to serotypes of strains already prevalent in the production field. Four distinct serotypes were identified which were not characteristic of strains already prevalent in the production field. Two biotypes of X. c. pv. dieffenbachia were also identified, based on their ability to hydrolyze starch. Sensitivity to 500 ppm streptomycin sulfate also was used to characterize strains associated with introduced propagative stock. Of 248 strains isolated from field plants, 39% were streptomycin resistant, whereas none of the strains isolated from introduced cuttings at the initial indexing were resistant. Over a 3-year period, strains with serotypes associated with the propagation material became established in the field, but spread to other cultivars was limited. This paper demonstrates the utility of serological methods for epidemiological studies.
