    New application method for entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar, 1976) (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) HBH strain against Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

    Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae are being used as biocontrol agents against many soil borne insect pests in agriculture. Above-ground applications against the insects are usually unsuccessful due to the lack of humidity. Therefore, EPNs rapidly lose their effectiveness. In this study, conducted in 2018 under laboratory conditions in Bursa-Turkey, a new application method was developed for the use of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar, 1976) (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) HBH hybrid strain against the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Orthoptera: Acrididae). A new trap system is coated with hydrophilic cotton fabric to provide the necessary humidity to allow the use of EPNs above-ground. Three different application rates of H. bacteriophora (5000, 25000 and 50000 IJs) were applied to the trap system. The fabric was inoculated with the nematodes and combined with a reservoir containing 200 ml of ringer solution. The dead and live nematodes were recorded periodically to determine their persistence on the fabric. The mortality of L. migratoria were also recorded to determine the infectivity of H. bacteriophora. The infectivity and persistence of the nematodes was sustained for more than 4 weeks by this method.

    Machine learning-based detection and severity assessment of sunflower powdery mildew: A precision agriculture approach
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-09-18) Erdinç, Atilla; BÜTÜNER, ALPEREN KAAN; ŞAHİN, YAVUZ SELİM; ERDOĞAN, HİLAL
    Sunflower powdery mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum (DC.) V.P. Heluta) is a substantial threat to sunflower crops, causing significant yield loss. Traditional identification methods, based on human observation, fall short in providing early disease detection and quick control. This study presents a novel approach to this problem, utilizing machine learning for the early detection of powdery mildew in sunflowers. The disease severity levels were determined by training a Decision Trees model using matrix of soil, powdery mildew, stems, and leaf images obtained from original field images. It was detected disease severity levels of 18.14% and 5.56% in test images labeled as A and C, respectively. The model's demonstrated accuracy of 85% suggests high proficiency, indicating that machine learning, specifically the DTs model, holds promising prospects for revolutionizing disease control and diseases prevention in agriculture.

    Detection of cucurbit powdery mildew, sphaerotheca fuliginea (schlech.) thermal imaging in field conditions
    (Univ Agronomic Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Bucharest - Usamv, 2023-01-01) Erdoğan, Hilal; ERDOĞAN, HİLAL; Bütüner, Alperen Kaan; BÜTÜNER, ALPEREN KAAN; Şahin, Yavuz Selim; ŞAHİN, YAVUZ SELİM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Biyosistem Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0002-0387-2600; AAP-5834-2020; AAH-2823-2021
    Plant diseases are one of the leading causes of yield losses in agricultural areas. In the fight against these diseases, chemical control methods are frequently used. However, this method of combat usually begins after the disease has spread throughout the entire field. The most essential thing here is to control the disease before it spreads throughout the entire country. Thermal imaging methods can now be used to accomplish this. Plant diseases stress the plant as a result of infection. The plant's stress causes activities that cause a temperature increase or reduction in the area where the infection has occurred or has begun. Thermal imaging technologies can be used to identify this condition. This work focuses on the potential early detection of Cucurbit powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlech.) Polacci), which causes considerable yield loss in Cucurbitaceae, utilizing thermal imaging technologies. According to the findings, the lowest temperature in infected leaf tissues was 8.2 degrees C, whereas the maximum temperature in plant tissues without infection was 10.2 degrees C. The findings suggest that thermal imaging technology could be used to identify powdery mildew in cucurbits. In this case, early detection will potentially enable the detection of the disease that has started to spread in a certain region and will allow the disease to be potentially controlled with less labor and chemical use.
