The coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae), is a severe and ubiquitous pest of plantations worldwide. Vegetable oils contain fatty acids that are active against variety agricultural pests; however, little known about their efficiency in controlling A. as well adverse effects on its natural enemies. Here, we assessed the chemical profile palm oil toxicity repellence to both Typhlodromus ornatus Denmark Muma Phytoseiidae), enemy pest. Oleic, palmitic, linoleic accounted...
Amblyseius largoensis and Typhlodromus ornatus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are generalist predatory mites that naturally inhabit coconut plantations other tropical crops. We assessed the suitability of two pest mites, Raoiella indica Tenuipalpidae) Aceria guerreronis Eriophyidae); storage mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae Acaridae); honey; pollens castor bean, Ricinus communis, cattail, Typha domingensis, their mixture, as food sources for mass rearing A. T. ornatus. Both pollens, supplied singly or...
Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) ornatus Denmark & Muma (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is one of the predatory mites associated with coconut mite Aceria guerreronis Eriophyidae), considered a severe pest plantations worldwide. In addition to mites, vegetable oils such as degummed soybean and babassu have shown high efficiency in controlling A. guerreronis. Here, we evaluated effects on functional response oviposition T. (A.) preying Exposure tested did not alter either or attack rate ornatus. The variation...
