DEL TORO-BENITEZ, Marbely et al. First report of phytophagous and predatory mites infesting Morus alba L. cultivar Gui Sang You 62 (mulberry) in Cuba. Rev. Protección Veg. [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.1  Epub 03-Abr-2019. ISSN 2224-4697.

In order to identify the mite species infesting Morus alba L. (mulberry), systematic samplings were carried out on mulberry plants belonging to the "Los Mangos" farm of the Science, Technology and Innovation Entity "Sierra Maestra", Playa municipality, La Habana, Cuba, from January to June 2018. In the samplings, 30 plants were selected at random, from which three leaves were extracted and examined under a Stemi DV4 stereo microscope. The adult mites were rinsed and mounted on slides. For their identification, they were observed under an Axioskop A1 microscope, and the corresponding dichotomous keys were used. As a result of the inventory, it was reported the presence of the phytophagous mite Tetranychus sp. (Acari: Tetranychidae) and the predators Neoseiulus longispinosus, Euseius hibisci and Amblyseius curiosus (Acari: Phytoseiidae).
