Abstract:

The suppressive biological control of mites on oilseeds can be successful under the circumstances of the ratio of prey and predators being I : 20 to 1 : 50 and the original infestation not being higher than 500 specimens per 1 kg. Preventive biological control was carried out in empty oilseed stores after they were cleared. The predators which were released in the stores 2000 specimen s being evenly distributed over an area of 100 m<sup>2</sup> were successful and suppress the population of acaroid mites.

Abstract:

Artificial defoliant is widely applied to cotton to facilitate mechanical harvesting and successfully controls leaf diseases by blocking pathogen epidemical cycles; however, this technique is rarely used to control herbivores. Because many eriophyoid mites live and reproduce in galls, the control of these mites by pesticides is usually limited. However, the abscission of galled foliage is lethal to tiny mites with low mobility. Therefore, artificial defoliation should be effective in controlling gall mites. Here, the effects of defoliant on the control of the goji berry Lycium barbarum L. gall mite Aceria pallida Keifer were compared with those of pesticides under field conditions over 3 years. Our results showed that artificial defoliation enabled almost complete defoliation and timely refoliation. A. pallida galls fell off with the defoliation, and then regenerated foliage escaped from mite attack. After defoliant application, the densities of mite galls decreased by 84.1%, 80.3% and 80.3% compared with those found in the pesticide (undefoliated) treatment in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Artificial defoliation achieved much better control of gall mites than pesticides.

Abstract:

Abstract Six acaricide treatments were evaluated for control of a summer population of YSM in Mt. Vernon, WA on a 6-yr-old ‘Tulameen’ planting. Treatments were replicated 4 times on 9 X 30 ft plots arranged in a RCB design. Sprays were applied on 15 Aug with a tractor-mounted (PTO) plot sprayer equipped with 6, 5 gal capacity stainless steel tanks individually valved to an over-the-row boom. The boom was equipped with 13 D4-45 TeeJet nozzles operating at 200 psi to deliver 150 gpa at 2.5 mph. Female counts were periodically made by randomly collecting 20 terminal leaflets from both sides of the row and brushing them onto glass plates with a mite-brushing machine.

Abstract:

Adoption of biological control tools in woody ornamental nursery production has lagged behind other agriculture fields. One of the major obstacles to adoption is lack of information on the efficacy of various biological control agents in nursery production systems. The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii, sold commercially as “swirski mite,” is a generalist predatory mite that has recently been adopted as a generalist control for a wide range of mite and insect pests, including thrips (Thripidae), whiteflies (Aleyrodidae), eriophyid mites (Eriophyidae), broad mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus), and spider mites (Tetranychidae). A controlled-release sachet formulation of swirski mite was evaluated in three experiments to determine whether size of the tree, timing of first application, or sun intensity would affect treatment efficacy. Pest numbers on plants was evaluated biweekly for 12 weeks. The swirski mite sachets controlled broad mite and spider mite outbreaks on red maple trees (Acer rubrum) grown in nos. 3 and 15 nursery containers, respectively. Application at the time of red maple rooted cutting transplant was not necessary to achieve summer-long control of pests. No outbreaks of target pests on flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) in no. 5 containers grown under both full sun and shade, but with low levels of broad mite persisting in the shade treatment and thrips persisting in sun. These results suggest that swirski mite is a promising candidate for biological control in woody ornamental nursery production.

Abstract:

A voluntary phase-out of the manufacture of dicofol, the principal miticide used for chemical control of pecan leaf scorch mite, Eotetranychus hicoriae McGregor (Acari: Tetranychidae), and the recent discovery and evaluation of western predatory mite, Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt), as a biological control of pecan leaf scorch mite have led to the registration of the selective miticide, bifenazate, as a possible replacement for dicofol for control of pecan leaf scorch mites in pecan orchards in the US. The impact of bifenazate on the pecan leaf scorch mite and phytoseiid predatory mites was studied in field trials conducted from 2003–2006. Bifenazate was an effective miticide and had the additional benefit over dicofol of conserving phytoseiid mites. The lowest effective concentration as a foliar spray application was 0.3 g actual bifenazate/l water. The effective residual activity of bifenazate at 0.3 g active ingredient/I applied at 1400 l/ha was 2–6 wks depending on the year and location. Bifenazate conserves a portion of the phytoseiid mite population as phytoseiid abundances were similar in the nontreated and bifenazate-treated trees for up to 4 wks after treatment. Treatment of pecan trees with bifenazate plus the release of phytoseiid mites was a more effective method for pecan leaf scorch mite control than the application of bifenazate alone. Among 8 chemical control treatment alternatives to dicofol, pecan trees treated with bifenazate had similar predatory mite abundance to the non-treated control.

Abstract:

Determining varroa mite infestation levels in honey bee colonies and the proper method and time to perform a diagnosis are important for efficient mite control. Performing a powdered sugar shake or counting mites that drop from combs and bees onto a hive bottom board are two reliable methods for sampling varroa mite to evaluate the efficacy of an acaricide treatment. This overview summarizes studies that examine the efficacy of organic acids and essential oils, mite monitoring, and brood interruption for integrated varroa mite control in organic beekeeping.

Abstract:

One of the most dangerous ectoparasites that infects poultry is the red chicken mite (Dermanyssus gallinae), which causes dermanisiosis, which is widespread in many countries around the world, including all regions of Ukraine. The article shows the basic biological and ecological characteristics of the red chicken mite Dermanyssus gallinae. gallinae is a carrier of infectious and viral diseases including: Salmonella gallinarum, Salmonella enteritidis, Chlamydia spp., Borrelia anserine rhusiopathiae, Listeria monocytogenes, Coxiella burnetii, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus sрр., Marek's disease, Newcastle disease and other dangerous poultry diseases. gallinae causes significant economic damage due to reduced egg productivity, quality of poultry products and increased culling and death of poultry due to depletion. The article analyzes the market of insecticides registered in Ukraine for the control of red mites. The effectiveness of preventive and curative measures in the battle against D. gallinae largely depends on the method and desacarization medication. Among the existing methods of control against D. gallinae remains chemical because synthetic insecticides have a wide range of action, while destroying a number of pests from different groups at different stages of development. To prevent outbreaks and spread of mites in poultry farms, it is necessary to systematically implement a set of organizational and veterinary measures, taking into account the biological characteristics of the development of existing ectoparasites in the farm and technological cycles of poultry.

Full text

Abstract:

In cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), leaves are the main site of nitrogen reduction and constitute a large reservoir of organic nitrogen. Foliar herbivores, therefore, are likely to have detrimental effects on the nitrogen economy of the plant. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch) on the accumulation and partitioning of nitrogen in cotton shoots. Control plants and plants infested with mites 3 times in the growing season were compared. Once established, mite colonies grew exponentially. After peaking at 35–64 mites/leaf, mite numbers declined sharply. Mites markedly affected both shoot nitrogen accumulation and partitioning. The amount of nitrogen in shoots of mite-infested plants peaked earlier than in controls, and reached maximum values that were 50–69% of the controls. Early infestation (at the onset of reproductive growth) had a greater effect than infestations initiated during active reproductive growth. The concentration of nitrogen in leaves declined faster in mite-infested plants than in controls, mostly due to accelerated leaf senescence. This rapid decline in leaf nitrogen concentration could be one of the factors involved in the collapse of mite colonies in heavily infested plants. Nitrogen concentration of stems and reproductive organs was generally greater in mite-infested plants than in controls. Allometric analysis showed that this was related to both the small size of mite-infested plants, and true increases in nitrogen content probably associated with translocation from senescing leaves.

Abstract:

Wheat streak mosaic virus is the most damaging disease in winter wheat in the western Great Plains. The wheat curl mite is the vector of this virus and utilizes volunteer wheat as a “green bridge” to over-summer and re-infest fall planted winter wheat. This study demonstrates the effect of tillage and glyphosate control of volunteer wheat on mite movement and subsequent virus infection. Small mite populations (1 to 2 mites per tiller) caused high infection rates in winter wheat. Both tillage and glyphosate were effective at reducing mite populations on volunteer wheat, but tillage resulted in more rapid reduction of mite populations. If volunteer wheat is to be controlled close to planting time, tillage is the best choice for rapid control of mite populations when warm dry weather conditions exist.

Abstract:

The spider mite Panonychus ulmi (P. ulmi) is one of the most important pests of apple plantations. Studies suggested that spider mite Neoseiulus californicus (N. californicus) is able to control spider mite P. Ulmi, minimizing the risk of having leaves with high index of injury, therefore avoiding economic damage. In this work, we consider a predator–prey system, where the prey is the mite P. ulmi and its predator is the spider mite N. californicus. The coefficients for the Lotka–Volterra model with competition between predators are obtained. Here, we will use the state-dependent riccati equation (SDRE) control technique to design a state feedback control, and to determine a state observer. In both cases, it is necessary to solve the quadratic optimal control problem for nonlinear systems. Numerical simulations shown that both approaches are efficient to stabilize the system in a desired point below the critical concentration, allowing us to minimize the level of economic damage.

Abstract:

Redlegged earth mite (Halotydeus destructor) causes feeding damage to some pulse species at the seedling stage. To quantify the effect of this damage on subsequent plant growth and development, an experiment was conducted in the glasshouse using yellow lupin, Lupinus luteus cv. Motiv, which is highly susceptible to the mites. After emergence, plants were infested with 0, 100, 150, and 250 mites/plant, collected from the field. Fourteen days after application, mites were removed. Damage to plants was estimated at seedling stage, flowering time, and maturity. At seedling stage (on Day 14), feeding damage scores to cotyledons and true leaves were greater at higher mite densities. Damaged plants produced fewer nodules, fewer lateral roots, and less dry weight than the control. On Day 35, severely damaged plants failed to recover and on the surviving plants, cotyledons and true leaves died earlier than on the plants without damage. On Day 78, when plants were flowering, the surviving plants produced fewer nodules and branches, and less dry weight per plant than the control. The flowering time of plants with the mite treatments was delayed by up to 6 days compared with the controls. The final shoot dry weight, pod number, seed number, and seed yield per pot were significantly reduced by the mite treatments. Feeding by H. destructor on seedlings of yellow lupin caused a reduction in seed yield of 58% at the highest mite density treatment. This significant economic loss needs to be confirmed under field conditions, but it signifies the need to develop appropriate control measures for this pest.

Abstract:

The character of gene interaction determining resistance to fungal diseases and gall mite was investigated by topcrossing method in black currant cultivars and forms of different genetic nature. For crossings three maternal varieties (testers) and seven paternal varieties and forms of different resistance to American mildew, Septoria leaf spot and gall mite were employed. Eleven cultivars and forms were assessed that differed in combining ability of resistance to fungal diseases and gall mite. Resistance to American mildew (Sphaerotheca mors-uvae) and Septoria leaf spot (Mycosphaerella ribis) is determined by genes with additive effects. In genetic control for resistance to gall mite (Cecidophyopsis ribis) important are both genes – with additive and non-additive (dominant and epistatic) effects. Black currant form D16/1/-25 was ascertained to be a donor of resistance to American mildew and Septoria leaf spot and cultivar Ben Gairn – a donor of resistance to gall mite.

A laboratory experiment was carried out on stored wheat infested by the stored product mite Acarus siro and beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis. The initial infestation was 150 mites of A. siro and 15 beetles of O. surinamensis per 1 kg of wheat. The predatory mite Cheyletus eruditus and parasitoid Cephalonomia tarsalis were added in the ratio 1:20 and 1:12, repectively. Three combinations were tested: (1) mites and (2) beetles separately, and (3) mites and beetles together. The experiment ran for three months at 22°C and 75% RH. The pests were suppressed by their antagonists in all combinations. Synchronous application of both natural enemies resulted in better control of O. surinamensis through an enhanced effect of both antagonists.

Abstract:

The redlegged earth mite, Halotydeus destructor, continues to be an intractable pest causing damage to most crop and pasture species in southern Australia. H. destructor feed on all stages of plants, but particularly damage seedlings in autumn. Research has aimed to develop new controls based on a better understanding of the biology and ecology of this pest. Chemicals remain the key tool to control H. destructor, despite the recent appearance of resistance to synthetic pyrethroids. A control package, Timerite, has been developed by which a single well-timed spray in spring can prevent H. destructor from developing diapause eggs. Field trials show this strategy provides effective control of H. destructor the following autumn, and protects plant seedlings, although mite populations build up again during winter. Non-chemical control strategies include grazing, the use of tolerant plants such as cereals, resistant legume cultivars and avoiding rotations where favourable host plants are available in the year before growing susceptible crops such as canola. Natural enemies can assist in mite control, and their numbers can be enhanced by methods including increasing landscape features like shelterbelts. Interspecific competition can occur between H. destructor and other pest mites, but the extent to which these interactions influence the structure of pest communities under different management regimes remains to be investigated.

Abstract:

The success of phytoseiid mite releases to control spider mites [Eotetranychus carpini (Oudemans) and Panonychus ulmi (Koch)] on grapevines can be influenced by pesticide use and competition with local predatory mites. In field experiments we evaluated the effect of the release of Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans) and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten strains showing field resistance to organophosphates and dithiocarbamates. Predatory mites were released in two vineyards infested by spider mites despite the occurrence of Amblyseius andersoni (Chant) and/or Phytoseius finitimus Ribaga. Single or mixed releases were planned. Spider mite populations were not effectively controlled by local predatory mites while successful control was achieved by released species. The effects of releases were higher in the second experimental year. In most cases A. andersoni densities were reduced by T. pyri and K. aberrans releases. Ph. finitimus suffered less than A. andersoni from intraguild predation. Among released species, the effect of the presence of a competitor was higher on T. pyri than on K. aberrans. Results suggest that the outcome of intraguild predation is prey-mediated. The equilibrium level between K. aberrans and T. pyri may depend on which spider mite species is the shared prey. The implications in management of spider mites on grapevines are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract Various pesticides were applied to milk stage (R7 stage) field corn on 14 Aug., near North Platte, NE. The treatments were applied with a CO2-charged backpack sprayer through 8001 flat fan nozzles at 30 psi (206, 786 Pa), in a total volume of 21 gal/acre (196.4 liter/ha). Each treatment was applied to 3 X 10 m plots, replicated 4 times, in a RCB design. Three days before the pesticide application the number of WCRW were counted on 4 randomly selected plants in the middle of each plot. In addition, the presence of spider mites was evaluated on the same plants by inspecting leaves below the ear leaf for colonies the size of a quarter or larger. The number of WCRW and the number of mite infested leaves were evaluated 3 and 14 DAT on 4 different randomly selected plants in the middle of each plot. In addition to counting the number of mite infested leaves, the size of the mite colonies was rated on a 0-6 scale, on the 3 lowest leaves of 4 different randomly selected plants 14 DAT.

Abstract Selected pesticides were evaluated for control of TSSM in cv. ‘NC-10’ Virginia-type peanut in Suffolk, VA. Peanuts were planted using a 36-inch row spacing. Treatments were applied on 28 Jul and again on 10 Aug using a CO2-pressurized back-pack sprayer calibrated to deliver 14.5 gal formulation per acre at 50 psi through three D2-13 disc-core hollow cone spray nozzles per row, 1 over the top and 1 on each side. A RCBD was used with 4 replicates; plots were 4 rows × 20 ft. Treatments were evaluated on 28, 30 Jul and on 3, 5, 10, 13, 20, and 29 Aug by comparing the number of live mites in a 1.5 cm diam area on 4 randomly-selected leaflets per plot. Mite counts were made in the field using 10X magnification lenses. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD statistical procedures. A cumulative index (CI) was calculated for each treatment using ∑(Xi+1 - Xi)[(Yi + Yi+1)/2], where Xi, and Xi+1, are adjacent sample dates and Yi and Yi+1, are corresponding points of total mite number.

Abstract:

Bifenazate, a new selective carbazate acaricide, seems to be a very good substitute for propargite to control spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch) on hops in the Czech Republic. To investigate the phenomenon of T. urticae resistance to this compound, 20 samples of field populations were taken in several Czech and Moravian hop-growing regions in 2006 and 2007 and subjected to laboratory tests in a Potter tower. Low values of C100 M (100% mortality) in comparison with the supposed registered concentration reveal that bifenazate may become a useful acaricide within the anti-resistant strategy against T. urticae not only in Czech but also in all European hop-growing regions.

Abstract:

Predatory mites play the leading role in commercial augmentative biological control. They are mainly used in protected vegetable and ornamental cultivation systems to control phytophagous mites, thrips and whiteflies. Use in open-field systems and in animal husbandry is still limited. Phytoseiidae species are by far the most important group of commercially available mite biocontrol agents with about 20 species offered worldwide. Out of these, Amblyseius swirskii, Phytoseiulus persimilis, Neoseiulus cucumeris and Neoseiulus californicus are the most important ones, covering together about two thirds of the entire arthropod biocontrol agent market. The widespread use of these leaf-inhabiting predatory mites has stimulated research into their biology and we now have substantial knowledge on, for instance, the interaction between different predatory mite species, that helps to improve biocontrol programmes. Soil predatory mites, for example Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Laelapidae) or Macrocheles robustulus (Macrochelidae) for the control of sciarid fly larvae and thrips pupae are much less frequently used and also much less researched. This makes further development of biocontrol strategies using these mites more difficult. Currently, there appears to be no reliable method to quantify the abundance of these mites in soil samples. In studies at our laboratory, the frequently used Berlese-Tullgren funnels gave very variable results. We observed that soil predatory mites can even multiply during the extraction process. In addition to the control of plant pests, predatory mites can also be used to control parasites of animals like the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae. Good results have been obtained applying a combination of the predatory mites Androlaelaps casalis (Laelapidae) and Cheyletus eruditus (Cheyletidae) in laying hen stables. This paper provides an overview on the current status of commercial biological control using predatory mites and identifies research needs to make the currently available mite biocontrol agents even more successful and extend biological control with mites to other areas.

Abstract:

Field experiments were conducted in two commercial almond orchards located in the southern San Joaquin Valley during 2016 and 2017 to evaluate a “preventative” strategy to manage spider mites. Pacific mite, Tetranychus pacificus McGregor, was identified as the only mite species infesting the experimental sites in both years. We monitored mites weekly in 3.6-hectare plots over approximately 21 weeks in 2016 and in 2017 using guidelines developed by the University of California. In late May, prior to the detection of mites, preventative acaricide treatments, abamectin, cyflumetofen, or etoxazole were applied to the experimental plots at a field rate. In 2016 and 2017, mite densities in all the treatments increased at early-July, peaked at mid-August, and were undetectable by late August. Preventative acaricide-treated plots in 2016 tended to have significantly lower mite densities than in the untreated control plots. Although in 2017, densities in the acaricide-treated plots tended to not significantly differ from control plots. Mite feeding injury, measured as mean cumulative mite-days, did not exceed the economic threshold during the experiment. The biological control agent, sixspotted thrips, Scolothrips sexmaculatus (Pergande) likely played a role in controlling mite populations at mid and late August. Our results indicate that a preventative strategy does not play a definitive role in T. pacificus management on almond. Additionally, acaricides with the active ingredient, abamectin, are heavily relied on as preventative treatments. We assessed populations of T. pacificus from the mid and southern San Joaquin Valley and found increased tolerance to a medium level of resistance to the acaricide.

Abstract Six acaricide treatments were evaluated for control of a summer population of YSM in Mt. Vernon, WA on a 6-yr-old ‘Meeker’ planting. Treatments were replicated 4 times on 9 X 30 ft plots arranged in a RCB design. Sprays were applied on 15 Aug with a tractor-mounted (PTO) plot sprayer equipped with 6, 5 gal capacity stainless steel tanks individually valved to an over-the-row boom. The boom was equipped with 13 D4-45 TeeJet nozzles operating at 200 psi to deliver 150 gpa at 2.5 mph. Female counts were periodically made by randomly collecting 20 terminal leaflets from both sides of the row and brushing them onto glass plates with a mite-brushing machine and counting mites.

Abstract:

Greenhouses contain a vast array of insect, mite, and disease pests primarily managed by applications of conventional and biorational pesticides including insecticides, miticides, and fungicides. However, biorational pesticides have a narrow range of pest activity. As a result, greenhouse producers tank mix to broaden application activity. Research has demonstrated that tank mixing can result in either synergistic or antagonistic interactions for targeted pests. However, the impact of tank mixing insecticides and fungicides on predatory mites, Neoseiulus cucumeris, used to manage western flower thrips, Franklinella occidentalis, is unknown. The objective of this research was to determine how mixtures of four different pesticides (Conserve, Avid, Cleary's, and Decree), alone and in all possible combinations affect predatory mite survival in a laboratory bioassay. Individual 2-day-old adult mites, isolated in a cell of a bioassay tray, were exposed to one of the 15 pesticide treatments, or a water control. Treatments were replicated 15 times. Trays were held in an environmental chamber and mite mortality was assessed after 24 hours. Mite mortality was differentially impacted by some pesticide treatments when compared with the water control. One pesticide mixture, Conserve + Cleary's, significantly reduced mite survival compared to other pesticide treatments or the water control. Up to 70% of the mites exposed to this treatment died. The combination of Conserve + Cleary's should be avoided as a tank mixture when the biological control agent, Neoseiulus cucumeris, is used to manage western flower thrips.

Abstract:

Populations of mites from the Tetranychidae family are characterized as high-resistant to acaricides, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the pesticide load on the agrocenoses ecosystem. Carnivorous arthropods from the Phytoseiidae family can be used as an alternative pest control. Our research aimed at improving the methods of breeding, storage and use of predatory mites against Tetrahychus urticae Koch. In 2015–2018, work was being undertaken to define the optimum thickness of the substrate layer (2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 cm) for breeding the food object – Acaris farus Oud. We also assessed the effect of the fodder substrate composition (wheat bran – control, wheat bran + soybean meal – experimental variant) on the population density of Amblyseius andersoni Chant. In 2016–2019, experiments on the storage of Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, Neoseiulus cucumeris Oud. and Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot at 4 °C (control – no storage) were carried out. In 2018–2019, to control Tetrahychus urticae Koch. in the soybean field, a mixture of N. cucumeris and A. andersoni was used according to the method of introduction into natural foci of prey. The optimum thickness of the substrate layer was found to be 4 cm. In this case, it was possible to obtain 6,983 mites in 1 cm3 for 7 days. Soybean meal addition increased the number of A. andersoni by 22.3 % compared to control (263 ind. vs 204 ind. per cm3). 30–45 days – an effective storage period for N. barkeri, 30 days – for N. cucumeris, no more than 10 days – for A. swirskii. On average, in 2018–2019, N. cucumeris and A. andersoni mixture reduced the number of T. urticae. The number of spider mites in the control variant was 14.6, in the experimental one – 5.3 ind./leaf. No predatory activity was observed on eggs. To prevent the development of spider mites, it is necessary to use N. cucumeris and A. andersoni at least twice with an interval of 5–7 days.
