| relay cropping cauliflower with lettuce as a means to manage first-generation cabbage maggot (diptera: anthomyiidae) and minimize cauliflower yield loss. | first-generation cabbage maggot, delia radicum (l.) (diptera: anthomyiidae), can cause extensive damage to newly transplanted brassica crops. this study investigated the use of relay cropping, a form of intercropping that involves overlapping two crops in the same field for a short period, as a means to 1) reduce first-generation d. radicum egg numbers by disrupting female host finding and 2) minimize yield loss by reducing the time that crops overlap. because of the high incidence of two other ... | 2007 | 17598546 |
