“…Our results are the first to use leaf spotting to screen tomato varieties for resistance against T. urticae, although this method has been used to measure damage of the mite to common bean leaves (Škaloudová et al 2006). Additionally, it has been reported that measuring the level of feeding damage can be useful for the evaluation of host-plant resistance (Gimenez-Ferrer et al 1994;Wilson 1994). Similar to the biological and population development observations of the current study, a significantly smaller spotting area was observed on the Beaufort variety, followed by Bt-236 and Troy.…”

The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a serious pest of several crops, particularly tomato. Chemical control of the spider mite on this vegetable has not been very successful due to its rapid development of resistance to acaricides and insecticides. Tetranychus urticae performs differentially among tomato varieties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plant features (the density of non-glandular and glandular trichomes) of seven tomato varieties and the survival, development, oviposition and life table parameters of T. urticae on each variety. In addition, the current study was intended to establish the relationships between damage caused by the mites and the mite population level on different tomato varieties. We used one variety, Beaufort, derived from a cross between the wild tomato Solanum habrochaites Knapp & Spooner and the cultivated tomato Solanum lycopersicum L., and six cultivated varieties: Beril, Bt-236, Impala, Simena, Troy and Y-67. The study revealed that when T. urticae fed on the Beaufort tomato variety, the demographic parameters [r m (0.121), R o (5.79) and GRR (5.79)] were lower than when the mite fed on the other varieties. Additionally, the mite population level on the Beaufort variety was significantly lower compared with those on other tomato varieties. Moreover, the lowest mite survival rate was observed on the Beaufort variety. The densities of non-glandular (Type V) and glandular trichomes (Types IV, VI) on this variety were significantly higher than on the others. The variety's tolerance to mite damage was also found to be higher compared to other varieties. According to the life table parameters, population levels and rates of damage from T. urticae, the tomato variety Y-67 was found to be very susceptible to the mite. Also, the densities of non-glandular (Type V) and glandular (Type VI) trichomes in the susceptible variety were determined to be lower than in the Beaufort and some cultivated varieties. Variety Bt-236 was very similar to Beaufort in terms of the survival rates, damage rates and the density of Type VI glandular trichome on the leaf surface. The damage rate per female mite was highest on Y-67, intermediate on Simena, Troy and Beril, and lowest on the Beaufort, Impala and Bt-236 varieties.

“…Intraspecific variability in cotton morphological, chemical and physiological traits can affect its suitability as host for a range of arthropod herbivores 6–11. Wilson and Sadras12 reviewed cotton traits with putative value for resistance to spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) and reported several morphological traits that could influence the development of mite populations, such as leaf shape,11 hardness13, 14 or hairiness 15.…”

“…According to Sabelis (1985), changes in 584,1900 La Plata, Argentina e-mail: ngreco@cepave.edu.ar development time of phytophagous mites are more important for the population growth than are changes in the rate of oviposition. Nevertheless, several authors have identified resistant varieties by analyzing the injury produced to leaves and the abundance of individuals in developing varietal improvement and pest management strategies (Giménez Ferrer et al 1993, 1994Petrova et al 2000;Wold and Hutchison 2003;Kazak and Kibritçi 2008). Strawberry has numerous cultivars with different degrees of resistance or susceptibility to T. urticae (Lourençao et al 2000;Uselis et al 2006).…”

The performance of Tetranychus urticae and its predator Neoseiulus californicus on ten strawberry cultivars was determined in the laboratory. Development time and survival of T. urticae from egg to adult were recorded on Albión, Aromas, Camarosa, Diamante, Festival, Kp, Sabrosa, Selva, Sweet Charlie, and Whitney. Fecundity of newly molted and mated females was recorded during the first 10 days of oviposition. Predation rate and fecundity of N. californicus were tested on Albión, Aromas, Festival, Kp, Sabrosa, and Whitney. Predator females reared on each cultivar were placed individually in experimental units, and the number of eggs per day was counted during 3 days. Cultivars with high hairiness (Albión, Aromas, and Festival) and cultivars with low hairiness (Sabrosa, Whitney and Kp) were identified, to assess the effect on the performance of both species. Development time, survival from egg to adult, and fecundity of T. urticae differed among cultivars. Festival was classified as moderately resistant, Aromas and Kp were moderately susceptible, and the others were intermediate. The number of prey consumed per day per female of N. californicus differed between cultivars and time. Fecundity of N. californicus did not differ among cultivars; however, it did over time. The development time and fecundity of T. urticae did not differ among high and low hairiness cultivars. The glandular hairiness affected neither consumption nor fecundity of N. californicus. According to detrimental and propitious effect on T. urticae and N. californicus performance, respectively, we concluded that Festival and Albión could be used along with this predator in T. urticae management programs.
