Comparative Demography of the Spider Mite,Tetranychus ludeni, on Two Host Plants in West Africa

Abstract: It is well recognized that the quality of host plants affects the development and survival of plant-feeding arthropods. The effects of two leafy vegetable crops, amaranth, Amaranthus cruentus L. (Caryophyllales: Amaranthaceae) and nightshade, Solanum macrocarpon L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) were examined on the development and demographic parameters of the spider mite, Tetranychus ludeni Zacher (Acari: Tetranychidae). This mite was recently identified as a pest of the two leafy vegetables which are widely used i… Show more

“…Extrinsic factors include temperature, humidity, light, predation level, intra-and interspecies competition, and various host plant features, such as strain, plant and soil nutrition, and plant age (Wrensch, 1985;Adango et al, 2006). Fitness of spider mites on different host plants is influenced by the nutritional value and defenses of the plant; important factors include secondary chemicals, leaf nutrition, leaf age, and leaf surface structure.…”

“…Biswas et al (2004) registraron para T. cinnabarinus sobre Solanum melongena L., 1753, una duración de 1,5 días para el período larval, 1,3 días para las protoninfas y 1,9 días para las deutoninfas entre 21-31 ºC. Adango et al (2006) obtuvieron para T. ludeni, alimentado con Amaranthus cruentus L., 1759, y Solanum macrocarpon Linnaeus 1753, una duración para las larvas de 1,9 y 2,0 días; para las protoninfas de 1,6 y 1,8 días y para las deutoninfas de 1,9 y 2,1 días, respectivamente, a 27 ºC, 70% HR y 12:12 h (L:O). Noronha (2006) …”

“…La longevidad obtenida para esta especie a 26,3 ± 3,9 ºC y 69,4 ± 19,5% HR fue de 18,4 días (Morros y Aponte 1994). Adango et al (2006) obtuvieron para T. ludeni una duración para los períodos de preoviposición, oviposición, posoviposición y longevidad (hembras) de 1,3; 15,6; 1,9 y 28,3 días sobre A. cruentus y de 1,2; 12,9; 0,8 y 24,9 días sobre S. macrocarpon. Biswas et al (2004) obtuvieron para T. cinnabarinus una duración para el período reproductivo entre 9,1 y 15,3 y longevidad entre 15,0 y 29,9 días sobre S. melongena.…”
