Full textThe availability of biological control agents in Brazil is still low. This is due in part to the difficulties found in the production of those organisms, which often hampers their use. Phytoseiidae is a family of predatory mites commonly used as biological control agents of mite and small insect pests. Currently, these agents are mainly reared on infested plants with their natural prey. This type of rearing, although efficient, requires large areas, which increases production cost. To facilitate production, alternative food sources have been used. The aim of this study was to determine alternative food for mass production of the phytoseiids Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers, Euseius concordis (Chant) and Neoseiulus anonymus (Chant and Baker). Initially, an oviposition test was conducted with 15 mite species of the cohort Astigmatina, five types of pollen and one species of bacteriophagous nematode. Amblyseius tamatavensis was the only one that presented satisfactory levels of oviposition when fed with astigmatins, reaching 2.6 eggs/female/day when fed with Thyreophagus n. sp. and 2.1 eggs/female/day when fed with Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Troupeau, 1879). Among the types of pollen, Ricinus communis L. induced the highest levels of oviposition, reaching 1.7 to 1.2 eggs/female/day for E. concordis and A. tamatavensis, respectively. Neoseiulus anonymus did not have satisfactory levels of oviposition on any type of pollen. Regarding the nematode (Protohabditis sp.), only A. tamatavensis had satisfactory level of oviposition on this prey (1.2 eggs/female/day). Based on these results, fertility life tables were constructed only for A. tamatavensis fed with Thyreophagus n. sp. and with A. ovatus. As in the oviposition test, the best performance was obtained with Thyreophagus n. sp., on which the following life table parameters were obtained: rm (0.19), T (12.8), Ro (11.47) and λ (1.2). Considering these promising results, a preliminary test for the mass rearing of A. tamatavensis was initiated using the method described by Freire and Moraes (2007). When 200 predators were initially introduced to each rearing unit, the number of predators increased 34 times within 30 days. This result indicated that A. tamatavensis may be mass produced with the use of Thyreophagus n. sp. as prey.

Full textThe present classification of the family Phytoseiidae is not based on solid phylogenetic studies and therefore, many taxonomic questions still arise, concerning the validity of supra-specific and specific taxa identified to-date. This thesis thus aimed to answer such questions for two genera, Phytoseiulus and Neoseiulella, using for the first time molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses. Biogeographic analyses have been also carried out. Results obtained by both morphological and molecular approaches are congruent and seem to show that both genera are not monophyletic: Phytoseiulus seems paraphyletic whereas Neoseiulella seems polyphyletic. These results are different from those obtained with previous revisions of these two taxa. Furthermore, this study allowed to conclude on five synonymies within the genus Neoseiulella. The observation of nearly the totality of the species belonging to the genus Neoseiulella permitted to redefine this genus, excluding three species and discussing some synonymies. Lastly, an identification key of the adult females was proposed for the valid species of the genus Neoseiulella. Further experiments, including molecular investigations, are however still required in order to obtain more reliable conclusions on the evolutionary relationships of the studied taxa

Full textThe State of Amazonas is the second largest producer of orange in the northern region of Brazil, with potential to expand its production. However, supply is still insufficient; about 60% of the citrus consumed in Amazonas come from other regions. The importation of fruits from other regions facilitates the introduction of new pests and pathogens. However, the leprosis, caused by a virus transmitted by Brevipalpus yothersi Baker, the leprosis mite, has still not been cited as a problem for the state. The small amount of the leprosis mite and the presence of predatory mites in the orchard may be the explanation for this. The objective of this work was to evaluate the occurrence of the leprosis mite and other mites associated with it in Manaus region, and the possible effect of pollen of plants commonly found in citrus orchards of this region in the maintenance of phytoseiid predators in this crop. From 1,614 mites collected in citrus plants, 616 belong to predominantly predatory groups, 541 to predominantly phytophagous groups and 457 to groups of varied feeding habits. Among the phytophagous species, B. yothersi was the only representative of Tenuipalpidae, with 192 specimens. Greater diversity was observed for the Tetranychidae, represented by four species. Among predators, Phytoseiidae was the most diverse family, represented by 14 species, and most abundant, with 694 specimens. The two most abundant phytoseiid species, Amblyseius aerialis Muma and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark and Muma, were selected for laboratory evaluations, consisting in the determination of oviposition rates on pollen of 14 plant species, one type of pollen commercially available and pollen collected by two bee species. Higher oviposition levels of A. aerialis were obtained when it was fed with oil palm, cattail, coconut and commercial pollen (1.5, 1.9, 0.9 and 0.9 egg/female/day, respectively). For I. zuluagai, highest oviposition levels were obtained when fed oil palm, coconut, cattail, peach palm and American oil pollen (1.6, 1.5, 1.2, 1.0 and 0.9 egg/female/day, respectively). These types of pollen are potentially useful as alternative food sources for those predators, and these plants may play an important role in the maintenance of low populations of B. yothersi in citrus orchards in Manaus region.

The predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has great potential as a biological control agent of spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). However, chemical control may adversely affect the effectiveness of this predator. An alternative that would exploit the potential presented by P. macropilis as natural enemy of spider mite would be the selection of individuals resistant to pesticides from major collections in the areas of cash crops, since these individuals would be under constant selective pressure of one or more pesticides. Thus, the objective was to identify individuals of P. macropilis resistant to acaricides abamectin and dimethoate and possible fitness cost linked to this resistance. It took account of these two pesticides with insecticide-acaricide action because they are more invested in strawberry crops in the state of Minas Gerais for the control of spider mite. To that end, this dissertation were evaluated: i) the lethal toxicity of the acaricides abamectin and dimethoate on two populations of P. macropilis, coming from a conventional farming in the region of Barbacena-MG and the other from a greenhouse on the campus of Universidade Federal de Viçosa, ii) the instantaneous rate of increase (ri), rate of predation on spider mite and capacity foraging to volatile plant infested with spider mite for the two populations of P. macropilis. It was concluded that the population collected in conventional system in the region of Barbacena showed resistance to dimethoate and that this resistance is not associated with fitness cost compared to susceptible individuals.
O ácaro predador Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) possui grande potencial como agente de controle biológico do ácaro-rajado Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). No entanto, o controle químico pode interferir negativamente na efetividade deste predador. Uma alternativa que permitiria explorar o potencial apresentado por P. macropilis como inimigo natural do ácaro-rajado seria a seleção de indivíduos resistentes aos principais pesticidas a partir de coletas em áreas de cultivos comerciais, pois estes indivíduos estariam sob pressão seletiva constante de um ou mais pesticidas. Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar indivíduos de P. macropilis resistentes aos acaricidas abamectina e dimetoato e o possível custo adaptativo ligado a esta resistência. Levou-se em consideração estes dois pesticidas com ação acaricida-inseticida por serem os mais aplicados em cultivos de morangueiro no estado de Minas Gerais para o controle do ácaro-rajado. Para tanto, nesta dissertação foram avaliados: i) A toxicidade letal dos acaricidas abamectina e dimetoato sobre duas populações de P. macropilis, uma oriunda de cultivo convencional da região de Barbacena-MG e a outra proveniente de casa de vegetação do campus da Universidade Federal de Viçosa; ii) A taxa instantânea de crescimento populacional (ri), taxa de predação sobre o ácaro-rajado e capacidade de forrageamento a voláteis de plantas infestadas com o ácaro-rajado para as duas populações de P. macropilis. Concluiu-se que a população coletada em cultivo convencional na região de Barbacena apresentou resistência a dimetoato e que esta resistência não está associada a custo adaptativo em relação a indivíduos susceptíveis.

O café constitui um dos principais produtos agrícolas mundiais devido às grandes rendas econômicas que gera nos países onde é cultivado. Nesta cultura, comumente podemos observar pragas como Brevipalpus phoenicis e doenças como Hemileia vastatrix que podem ocasionar grandes perdas econômicas, caso medidas de controle não sejam tomadas. O controle destas pragas e doenças usualmente é feito com a aplicação de agrotóxicos, que podem ocasionar problemas tanto nas pragas que se deseja atingir (resistência) como nos inimigos naturais que podem ser afetados indiretamente. O controle biológico torna-se uma opção viável para a diminuição do uso de agrotóxicos e o ácaros predadores fitoseídeos são objeto de muitas pesquisas sobre sua capacidade de explorar diversos recursos na sua alimentação e sua aplicabilidade nesse tipo de controle. O predador Ricoseius loxocheles (Ácari: Phytoseiidae) tem a capacidade de se alimentar e carregar esporos de ferrugem do cafeeiro e por ser membro de uma família de ácaros predadores possui potencial para agente de controle biológico. No entanto, pouca informação existe sobre sua função ecológica no sistema cafeeiro. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do estudo foi determinar a capacidade predatória de R. loxocheles sobre B. phoenicis e o desempenho do fitoseídeo em diferentes fontes alternativas de alimento avaliando sua sobrevivência e reprodução. Os resultados mostraram que o ácaro B. phoenicis não representa uma presa potencial para o fitoseídeo R. loxocheles, já que o sucesso reprodutivo desse ácaro predador foi negativo quando unicamente tinha a presença da praga, ocasionando a morte do fitoseídeo. O crescimento populacional (ri) de R. loxocheles foi positivo em mudas de café infectadas por ferrugem. Adicionalmente, foi demonstrado que o ácaro aproveita diversos recursos alimentícios alternativos, como ferrugem de café, ferrugem de trevo e o pólen de taboa para seu sucesso reprodutivo. Das fontes testadas, apenas o pólen apícola foi o único recurso não viável que reduziu a oviposição e ocasionou a sua morte.
Coffee is one of the main crops in the world, due to the large economic importance that generates in the countries where it is cultivated. This culture is commonly attacked by some pests and diseases, such as Brevipalpus phoenicis and Hemileia vastatrix, respectively, that can produce great economic losses if a not appropriate control is used. The control of these pests and diseases is usually done applying chemicals products that can cause several problems: the target pests can become resistant and the natural enemies can be also indirectly affected. So, biological control becomes a viable option for the reduction of pesticide use, considering that the phytoseiids has been the subject of many studies due their ability to explore various food sources. The phytoseiid mite Ricoseius loxocheles (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has the ability to feed and carry coffee leaf rust spores. However, the little information about this behavior limits to understand their role in agricultural systems, especially in the coffee crops. Then, the objective of this study was to evaluate the predatory ability of R. loxocheles on B. phoenicis and the performance (survival and reproduction) of this phytoseiid on different food sources. The results showed that B. phoenicis does not represent a potential prey for R. loxocheles, considering that the reproductive success of this predatory mite was negative when this pest was the diet, resulting in the death of the phytoseiid. Population growth (ri) of R. loxocheles was positive on coffee plants infected by the rust, but the mite had also good population performance on several alternative food resources, such as coffee rust, rust clover and the cattail pollen for their reproductive success. However, from all alternative food sources tested bee pollen was the only non-viable resource that reduced oviposition of R. loxocheles and caused the death of the phytoseiid mite.

Full textStrawberry, Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne, has been extensively cultivated in southern Minas Gerais. Pest and disease outbreaks have caused losses to growers in this region. Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), has been considered a major pest of strawberry in this region, where it is mainly controlled with the use of synthetic acaricides, producing results not always satisfactory, apparently due to the selection of resistant populations. Mites of the family Phytoseiidae are the predominant predators of other mites in crops and on plants of the natural vegetation. About 2,700 phytoseiid species are presently known, of which nearly 200 have been found in Brazil. These are also found on strawberry in southern Minas Gerais, but nothing is known about their occurrence in plants of the natural vegetation surrounding these crops. Some studies have been conducted in that region for the implementation of practical biological control of twospotted spider mite on strawberry. The objectives of this study were: a) to compare twospotted spider mite population levels on representative plantations of organic and conventional production systems; b) to determine the similarity of the phytoseiid fauna on strawberry crops grown organically and in the natural vegetation surrounding them; c) to demonstrate the ability to grow strawberry without the use of pesticides in this region. For the first part of the study, two strawberry growers were selected in each of three municipalities, one adopting the conventional growing system and the other the organic producing system. Difference between mean two-spotted spider mite population levels in those systems was not statistically significant. Neoseiulus califonicus (McGregor), Neoseiulus anonymus (Chant) and Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) were found on strawberry plants and also in the natural vegetation. The results suggested that N. anonymus may be more appropriate than N. californicus for spider mite control in Cambuí. In the second part of the study, the effect of different treatments on spider mite population in were evaluated in crop established in Inconfidentes, state of Minas Gerais. The treatments consisted of the application of the fungi Isaria fumosorosea Wize and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill , of N. anonymus , of the adjuvant KBRAdj , of abamectina and a control treatment. Despite the low levels of occurrence of mite in all treatments, the number of two-spotted spider mite in the plots where N. anonymus was released was significantly lower than in the plots treated with Abamectina. This work led to the following conclusions: a) the population density of the mite is approximately the same in plantations of organic and conventional production systems; b) the diversity of predatory mites in fields of organic cultivation is higher than in fields of conventional cultivation; c) the vegetation in the vicinity of strawberry fields is important as reservoir of the predatory mites found in strawberry fields; d) Strawberry production in southern Minas Gerais can be done without the use of synthetic acaricides.

Resumo: Phytoseiidae é uma família de ácaros considerados predadores, sendo alguns desses amplamente utilizados em programas de controle biológico em várias regiões do globo terrestre. No entanto, considerada a diversidade do grupo, pouco se sabe a respeito das características ecobiológicas das espécies. Dessa maneira, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo geral investigar os parâmetros biológicos de duas espécies: Amblyseius aerialis Muma e Amblyseius chiapensis DeLeon, através de dois experimentos. O primeiro, para observar a oviposição dessas espécies com diferentes alimentos, incluindo varias possíveis presas, e o segundo para avaliar todo ciclo biológico com o alimento mais favorável. No primeiro caso, o objetivo foi observar os alimentos utilizados, e se há ou não semelhanças no padrão das dietas desses dois fitoseídeos. No segundo, o objetivo foi determinar os parâmetros de desenvolvimento e reprodução das espécies, visando à possibilidade do seu uso como agente de controle biológico em relação à presa utilizada como alimento. Os testes de oviposição consistiram da avaliação da oviposição média em um período de seis dias. Os dados mostram um padrão de alimentação diferente para as duas espécies avaliadas, principalmente em relação aos prováveis alimentos preferenciais, uma vez que dois dos alimentos mais favoráveis à oviposição de A. chiapensis - Tetranychus urticae Koch e Lorryia formosa Cooreman- proporcionaram oviposições praticamente insignificantes para A. aerialis.

Abstract: Phytoseiidae is a family which includes mites considered predators, some of which are widely used in biological control programs around the world. However, considering the diversity of the group little is known about the biological features. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the biological parameters of two species: Amblyseius aerialis Muma and Amblyseius chiapensis Cooreman, through two experiments. The first to observe the oviposition of these species with different foods, including several probable prey, and a second to evaluate the whole biological cycle with the most favorable food. In the first case the objective was to observe the foods used, and whether or not there are similarities in the pattern of the diets of these two phytoseiids. In the second, the objective was to determine the development and reproduction parameters of the species, aiming their use as biological control agent in relation to prey used as food. The oviposition tests consisted of evaluation of oviposition in a period of six days. The results showed a different feeding pattern for the two species tested, especially in relation to the probable preferential foods, since two of the foods most favorable to oviposition of A. chiapensis - Tetranychus urticae Koch and Lorryia formosa Cooremanprovide almost negligible ovipositions for A. aerialis. To evaluate more detailed biological parameters, each species of phytoseiid was submitted to a biological test offering the prey that provided the best result in the oviposition test as food. Our results show that both A. aerialis and A. chiapensis are predators capable of developing and ovipositing feeding on prey Raoiella indica Hirst and T. urticae, respectively. Due to the wide geographical distribution and frequency in which both predators are found in nature, we suggest that they may play an important role in the natural control of these preys. About the applied biological control, A. chiapensis presents as a potential

O cafeeiro apresenta perdas econômicas devido a pragas e doenças. Entre as pragas, os ácaros fitófagos merecem atenção devido à redução da área fotossintética. Além dos danos dos ácaros, alguns patógenos também atacam plantas de café como a ferrugem-do-cafeeiro, Hemileia vastatrix (Uredinales). Este patógeno causa perdas de produtividade de 30% em algumas variedades de Coffea arabica. Ácaros da família Phytoseiidae normalmente controlam populações de ácaros fitófagos e podem desenvolver-se e reproduzirem usando diversas fontes alimentares, além dos ácaros presa. Dentro da família Phytoseiidae, que é composto por ácaros carnívoros e os que se alimentam de pólen, em levantamentos foi encontrado a espécie Ricoseius loxocheles (De Leon) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) sobre áreas de necrose causada pela ferrugem do cafeeiro, durante sua fase reprodutiva. Existem poucas informações sobre o seu desenvolvimento, parâmetros biológicos e hábitos alimentares. Avaliou-se a taxonomia, desenvolvimento, parâmetros de sobrevivência e reprodução de R. loxocheles alimentando-se de urediosporos da ferrugem do cafeeiro e sua capacidade predatória e sucesso reprodutivo sobre Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1971). Uredosporos da ferrugem-do-cafeeiro apoiaram a sobrevivência, desenvolvimento e reprodução do ácaro fitoseídeo estudado e este não foi capaz de predar O. ilicis. A sobrevivência e oviposição de R. loxocheles só foi observada quando este ácaro alimentou-se de ferrugem. Em arenas sem o fungo esses parâmetros foram iguais as arenas sem alimento. A reprodução tem a exigência nutricional mais elevada do que o desenvolvimento. R. loxocheles alimentados com ferrugem obteve parâmetros reprodutivos mais elevados do que outros fitoseídeos alimentados em outros fungos, alguns ácaros ou pólen. Conclui-se que este ácaro é um fitoseídeo generalista e são necessários mais estudos para medir a capacidade de alimentarem-se em outras fontes alimentares, tais como ácaros fitófagos pragas do cafeeiro. É possível que R. loxocheles tenha um papel no controle da ferrugem do cafeeiro, uma vez que se alimenta de uma grande quantidade de uredosporos da ferrugem.
Coffee crops have economic losses due pests and diseases. Among them, the phytophagous mites deserve attention due to the reducing photosynthetic area caused on the leaves. Besides of mite damages, some pathogens also attack coffee plants, as the coffee rust fungus, Hemileia vastatrix (Uredinales). This pathogen cause yield losses around 30% in some varieties of Coffea arabica. Predatory mites from the Phytoseiidae family normally control phytophagous mites and can develop and reproduce using various alternative food sources than their primary prey, tetranychid mites. Within the Phytoseiidae family that is composed by carnivorous and pollen-feeding mites, we surveyed in the field the species Ricoseius loxocheles (De Leon) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on the necrosis area caused by coffee rust during its reproductive phase. Searching in the literature showed that there is little information related to this mite development, biological parameters and feeding habits. So, this study was carried out to assess the taxonomy, development, survivorship and reproduction parameters of R. loxocheles feeding on coffee rust fungus, its predation capacity on Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1971) and its reproductive success. Coffee rust supported the survival, development and reproduction of the phytoseiid mite and that it was not able to feed on different stages of O. ilicis. Survival and oviposition of R. loxocheles was only observed when this mite was in arenas with fungi. In arenas without fungi these parameters were equal as arenas without food. It is known that reproduction has a higher nutritional requirement than development. The fertility of R. loxocheles fed on coffee rust is highest that the other phytoseiid fed in others fungi or some mites or pollen. We suggest that this mite is a phytoseiid generalist and it is necessary more studies to measure the ability of this mite specie to feed on other food sources, such as herbivore mites pests of coffee crops. It is possible that R. loxocheles has a role in the control of coffee rust since it feeds on a large amount of rust uredospore.

Full textA lichia é uma fruta de grande valor econômico. A cultura da lichia pode ser muito danificada pela infestação do ácaro Aceria litchii (Keifer), sua principal praga. Pouco se conhece sobre os padrões de ocorrência e de diversidade de comunidades de ácaros associados a essa cultura no Brasil, sendo que esse conhecimento é básico e imprescindível na elaboração de propostas de manejo dessa praga. O presente trabalho teve por objetivos acompanhar a ocorrência de A. litchii em plantas de lichia no município de Casa Branca, estado de São Paulo, caracterizar os sintomas de danos decorrentes do seu desenvolvimento e identificar possíveis agentes de controle biológico dessa praga. A ocorrência de A. litchii e os danos provocados foram acompanhados em quatro árvores adultas, de 12 anos de idade, da variedade Bengal. Para isso, mensalmente, de cada planta, foram coletadas quatro extremidades de ramo com aproximadamente 0,5 m de comprimento, no período de agosto de 2008 a agosto de 2009. Os ácaros predadores foram avaliados em dois ramos de 0,30 m de comprimento. As variáveis consideradas para A. litchii foram: porcentagem de folhas atacadas, número de galhas nas folhas, número de ácaros em galhas presentes em folhas e gemas. Os predadores foram montados em lâmina de microscopia, identificados e contados. Nas galhas foram observadas formas brancas e vermelhas, ambas identificadas como A. litchii. A maior quantidade das duas formas foi registrada em outubro de 2008, com o número de formas vermelhas superando o de brancas. Ambas foram registradas em maior quantidade em folhas novas. Formas brancas em folhas novas apresentaram correlação negativa com o aumento da temperatura e da evapotranspiração. A infestação de A. litchii resultou em intensa erinose. Inicialmente surgiram eríneos claros na página inferior das folhas novas, que...
The lychee is a fruit of great economic value. The culture of litchi can be very damaged by the infestation of the Aceria litchii (Keifer) mite, their main pest. Little is known about the patterns of occurrence and diversity of communities of mites associated with this crop in Brazil, and this knowledge is basic and essential in preparing proposals for the management of this pest. The work objectives were study the occurrence of A. litchii on litchi plants in the municipality of Casa Branca, state of Sao Paulo, to characterize the symptoms of damage resulting from its development and identify possible biological control agents of this pest. The occurrence of A. litchii and the damage caused were observed in four adult 12-year-old trees of the Bengal variety. For this four branch extremities, approximately 0.5 m long, were collected every month from each plant from August 2008 to August 2009. The predators mites were evaluate on two branches, 0.3 m long. The variables considered for A. litchii were: percentage of attacked leaves, number of galls on the leaves, number of mites present in galls on leaves and buds. Predators were mounted on microscope slide, identified and counted. In the galls were observed red and white forms, both identified as A. litchii. The greatest amount of both forms was recorded in October 2008, with the number of the red forms overcoming of the white forms. Both were recorded in larger amounts in young leaves. White forms in young leaves were negatively correlated with increasing temperature and evapotranspiration. The infestation of A. litchii resulted in intense erinose. Initially erineos were clear on the underside of young leaves, and were gradually darkening and taking the leaf surface. Galls with erineos clear were positively correlated with the number of white forms in young leaves, indicating that these... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
