Rootstock influence on pest arthropod incidence on Tahiti lime [Citrus latifolia (Yu Tanaka) Tanaka]. Rev. Protección Veg. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.1  Epub Apr 01, 2020. ISSN 2224-4697.

To determine the incidence of pests on Tahiti lime grafted in six rootstocks, plots were established in three locations in Colombia. Samples of leaves and shoots were taken and the incidence of the main groups of arthropods was evaluated. During the samplings in Lebrija, Santander, the mite number / leaf of each species of mite was recorded by rootstock. Additionally, in two locations, the percentage of mite damage in fruits in harvest, and in one, the incidence of thrips in flowers were measured. In addition to descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests were performed, such as Kruskall Wallis to evaluate differences between rootstocks. The results show that there are no differences between rootstocks, except for: (1) The incidence of phytophagous mites in two samplings at the Caribia research center. (2) On the number of mites / leaves of Panonychus citri in Lebrija. It was found that there is no clear trend in favor of any genotype and the response to arthropods is dependent on the time of sampling. A list of insects and mites associated with Tahiti lime in the main production areas in Colombia and their natural enemies is presented.
