Abstract

RABELO COELHO, Caroline et al. Effectiveness of three species of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) for controlling Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae). Rev. Protección Veg. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.1, e05.  Epub Apr 01, 2020. ISSN 1010-2752.

In this work, the efficiency of Amblyseius largoensis (Muma), Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) ornatus Denmark e Muma and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark ( Muma for controlling Raoiella indica Hirst (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) was assessed by comparing their functional and numerical responses to increasing densities of R. indica eggs. The three predatory mites exhibited a type II functional response, indicating that they can assist in the control of R. indica, especially at low to moderate densities of this pest. However, A. largoensis consumed the highest number of preys with the shortest handling time and showed a superior reproductive potential when fed upon R. indica eggs. A. largoensis proved to be the most efficient of the three predatory mites.
