Knowledge about the effects of pesticides on biological control agents is required in order to successfully implement integrated pest management programs. The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot has been used thrips, whiteflies, and broad mites vegetable production; however, fenpyroximate, an acaricide insecticide crops, A. have not evaluated. effect four residual concentrations fenpyroximate females was measured under laboratory conditions including its their fecundity larval...
Abstract The predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae), is a generalist predator feeding on multiple soft-bodied insects and mite pest species. It biological control agent commercially available since 2005 that has become one of the top 3 most released biocontrol predators worldwide. commonly used to suppress whitefly populations (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), thrips (Thysanoptera), spider mites Tetranychidae) lesser degree. This been as part Integrated Pest...
Amblyseius swirskiiAthias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a predatory mite used to control thrips (Thysanoptera), whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci Genn., Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and broad mites (BMs) (Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks, Acari: Tarsonemidae). Dispersal of A. swirskii, using the ornamental pepper "Explosive Ember" as banker plant was evaluated for BMs in high-tunnel peppers. Open-canopy plants (5 weeks old) versus closed-canopy (10-weeks were evaluate effect connectedness swirskii...
Reports of severe infestations caused by southern red mites (SRM), Oligonychus ilicis McGregor (Acari: Tetranychidae), have increased in recent years highbush blueberries (SHB). Currently, there is little known about the management tetranychids SHB, and only two miticides (fenazaquin fenpyroximate) recently been labeled for use SHB. has up to 80%-100% losses some blueberry plantings, growers are looking tools this new pest blueberries. We report on injury SHB from O. performance seven used...
Abstract Florida (USA) is a major producer of squash, Cucurbita pepo L. (Cucurbitaceae), with approximated 16% the US production in 2019, valued at about 35 million USD. Major insect pests, including sweetpotato whitefly MEAM1, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover Aphididae), jeopardize plant development transmit viruses economic importance that can cause up to 50% yield loss squash crops. Pesticides are generally used for management but...
Torula yeast is the most common bait used by growers and agriculture professionals for trapping of tephritid flies in Dominican Republic. However, efficiency influenced weather conditions, aging, contamination with undesirable microorganisms. Thus, additives such as benzalkonium chloride, a quaternary ammonium compound, have been together torula stabilizer. This study evaluated effect addition chloride to bait, time renewal guava orchards Caribbean fruit (Anastrepha suspensa Loew; Diptera:...
Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a commercially available predatory mite used to control thrips, whiteflies, and broad mites in horticultural production. The inconsistent quality of mass-produced biocontrol agents major concern augmentative biological only few studies have tested the post-shipment commercial phytoseiids. We evaluated A. purchased from provider United States. Guidelines for produced natural enemies, established by International Organization...
The squash bug, Anasa tristis (De Geer) (Hemiptera: Coreidae), is a serious pest of cucurbit crops across the United States. Conventional growers commonly use broad-spectrum insecticides to manage bugs, however organic lack these effective chemical tools and must rely on alternative management strategies. Biological control A. largely understudied, specifically potential natural enemy, Hadronotus pennsylvanicus (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), as an augmentative biological agent. For...
Several mite species attack southern highbush blueberries (SHB), including the red (Oligonychus ilicis McGregor (Acari: Tetranychidae)), false spider or flat (Brevipalpus yothersi Baker) and blueberry bud (Acalitus vaccinii Keifer). The is key pest attacking plants in southeastern US (Lopez Liburd 2020). a secondary leaf feeding that was reported 2016 (Akyazi et al. 2017). This publication discusses mites on SHB Florida, life cycle, damage, management practices.

Tetranychid outbreaks have been detected since 2016 in southern highbush blueberries (SHB); however, it was not until 2019 when the red mite (SRM), Oligonychus ilicis (Acari: Tetranychidae) confirmed as pest causing severe bronzing and stunting, multiple Florida Georgia commercial blueberry plantings. There is little known about management of SRM SHB only three miticides (fenazaquin, fenpyroximate, acequinocyl), recently registered for use between 2020. Similarly, there no knowledge...
