Raoiella indica Hirst (Acari: tenuipalpidae), commonly known as the red palm mite (RPM), is an invasive polyphagous pest, which has emerged a threat to agriculture in Americas. In Americas, not only spread quickly, but also greatly extended its host range new areas where it been observed. We present here records of RPM Brazilian states, with focus on arrival into most threatened area, Northeast Region. Coconut and banana are important crops this region Brazil represent main by pest. These...
Raoiella indica Hirst (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is a pest species that has expanded not only in geographical distribution but also the number of host plants. Control measures are still being evaluated recently invaded countries. In some countries and for crops, spraying with botanical extracts been used to reduce R. populations. Laboratory field studies point predatory mite Amblyseius largoensis (Muma) Phytoseiidae) as promising combating indica. However, this predator yet commercially...
ABSTRACT: Fruit bagging is an efficient mechanical control technique used in fruit growing. However, to date, few studies have evaluated the efficacy of cultivation vegetables, including tomato crops. The objective this study was evaluate effectiveness flowers and/or fruits using a non-woven fabric (NWF) for Helicoverpa spp., Neoleucinodes elegantalis, and Tuta absoluta, effect on final yield, determine optimal period bagging. Tests were conducted commercial crop staked ‘Valerin’ plants...
Integrated control tactics are often necessary for pest management. This is especially true organisms such as the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. The management of this mite species relies on pesticide use, but its short life cycle associated with high selection pressure results in frequent problems acaricide resistance and population outbreaks. Therefore, combining acaricides natural enemies an appealing strategy managing species. predatory Neoseiulus idaeus Denmark &...
Tetranychus urticae Koch is one of the major species pest mites in world. An alternative to chemical control this use predatory mites. Nevertheless, under arid environments efficacy available often poor. Thus, study evaluated (functional response) and reproductive (numerical abilities Neoseiulus idaeus (naturally occurring regions) fed on T. eggs compared them with those obtained for californicus (the most frequently used against urticae). displayed a type III functional response while II...
Raoiella indica Hirst (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is a polyphagous pest widely dispersed worldwide and particular threat to crops from the Arecaceae family. Control measures are still being evaluated in recently invaded countries. A possible control strategy for this use of predatory mites. recent study has suggested Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes Phytoseiidae) as potential biological agent R. indica. In present we determined prey stage preference N. when offered different stages besides its...
The potential of Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes (Acari: Phytoseiidae) as a biological control agent has been widely studied and demonstrated against several pest species, mainly mites. However, its not assessed with tenuipalpid mites, which emerged threat to agriculture, especially in coconut banana crops. natural enemies can be predicted through life history tests; thus, we conducted experiments determine the parameters N. that fed on mite Raoiella indica Hirst Tenuipalpidae) individuals...
ABSTRACT Fruit flies are typically managed using hydrolyzed protein, which is difficult for family farmers to obtain. This study aimed at assessing the efficiency of livestock manure monitoring and/or controlling this pest in guava tree orchards. The first experiment tested juice and from cattle, sheep, pig, horse chicken as attractants fruit flies. Once best bait had been established, a second was conducted extract concentrations 10 %, 30 50 70 % 100 %. A third assay analyzed (10 %) three...
Abstract Predation is an important interaction that can change the structure of arthropod communities across both temporal and spatial scales. In agricultural systems predation reduce population levels several pest species a community. This predator–prey involves predator searching handling behaviors. Several factors affect this interaction, such as pesticide exposure, which frequent feature in agroecosystems. Thus, hypothesis our study predatory behavior phytoseiid mite Neoseiulus idaeus...
Intercropping is a method of growing plants that assists in rational use natural resources. Based on this concept, the aim study was to evaluate response collard green and radish ‘Cometo’ crops monoculture intercropping under different spatial arrangements through physical production indicators (technical coefficients). The conducted plant beds randomized block design (RBD) with 5 treatments 4 replications. involved two separately intercropped arrangements: (1:2) one row between rows green;...
