Abstract The red palm mite Raoiella indica Hirst (Tenuipalpidae) was first reported in the New World 2004, dispersing quickly and widely while adopting new plant species as hosts. Since then, it has caused severe damage this region, especially to coconut (Cocos nucifera L.). It found Brazil 2009, northern Amazonian state of Roraima. In present study, native introduced plants were sampled between March 2010 February 2011 sites 15 Roraima municipalities, estimate its distribution associated...
Synthetic pesticide use has been the dominant form of pest control since 1940s. However, biopesticides are emerging as sustainable alternatives, with prevailing in organic agricultural production systems. Foremost among botanical is limonoid azadirachtin, whose perceived environmental safety come under debate and scrutiny recent years. Coconut production, particularly coconut one systems which azadirachtin used a primary method for management invasive mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari:...
Large Marine Ecosystems such as the Canary Current system off West Africa sustains high abundance of small pelagic prey, which attracts marine predators. Seabirds are top predators often used biodiversity surrogates and sentinel species ecosystem health, thus frequently informing conservation planning. This study presents first data on spatial (GPS-loggers) trophic (stable isotope analysis) ecology a tropical seabird—the endangered Cape Verde shearwater Calonectris edwardsii–during both...
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...
Worldwide, there remains a reliance on repeated chemical applications as control strategy for the coconut mite, but these are impractical, not economical, and environmentally hazardous. In this study, damage severity of Aceria guerreronis fruits was studied under different conditions to investigate effects bunch management amount newly produced bunches. The evaluated using diagrammatic scale four conditions: 1) plants with bunches removed; 2) distal portion spikelet 3) sprayed monthly...
Mite pests are some of the major limiting factors affecting grape production in world. Despite economic importance grapevines and damage to them caused by phytophagous mites northeast Brazil, little is known about mite fauna associated with this crop. The present study aimed identify grapevine, evaluate fluctuation populations most frequent species their predators over a 12-month period as well within-plant distribution. Considering all varieties sampled, Tetranychus urticae Koch Oligonychus...
The mechanisms involved in the acceptance and choice of prey by predatory mites are still poorly understood. present study was designed to determine whether previous feeding experience Amblyseius largoensis (Muma) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on Raoiella indica Hirst Tenuipalpidae) eggs could influence predator’s functional response related parameters. consumption R. experienced naïve female A. evaluated under increasing densities eggs. Regardless predators’ experience, a gradual increase number...
The giant whitefly, Aleurodicus cocois, is one of the main pests cashew trees around world. In present study we evaluated biological potential predaceous mites Amblyseius largoensis and Euseius concordis against A. cocois. consumption functional responses to prey egg densities E. were investigated in laboratory experiments. Logistic regression indicated that both predators exhibited a type II response eggs, eggs increased with density up maximum, after which it slowly decreased. value attack...
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...
Effective management of arthropod communities in agricultural environments requires knowledge the diversity and distribution species that inhabit host crops. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate richness, abundance, intra-plant most abundant mite mango plants. Leaves or reproductive structures were collected monthly considering different canopy quadrants (North, South, East, West), position branch (basal, median, apical), and, case leaves, their on apical). A total 28 belonging 12...
