“…Tetranychus ludeni Zacher, 1913 (Acari: Tetranychidae), a polyphagous species in the tropics and with a worldwide distribution, infests more than 250 plant species (Gotoh et al, 2015). This mite occurs in the field during most of the year, especially in hotter and drier seasons (Silva et al, 2017). Damage by T. ludeni is due to suction of leaf content, characterized by small yellowish spots, followed by necrotic spots on the entire leaf that dry and fall (Soares et al, 2014), reducing the photosynthetic area (Soares et al, 2012).…”
