“…Another important factor regarding vegetation cover as reservoir for phytoseiid mites is due to the similar seasonal activity pattern of their populations in the inter-row vegetation and on vine leaves [ 132 ]. This may enhance the possible dispersal potential of predatory mites from cover crops onto vine leaves, which was already shown for phytoseiid mites on peach [ 133 ] and citrus trees [ 134 ].…”

Viticultural practices and landscape composition are the main drivers influencing biological pest control in vineyards. Predatory mites, mainly phytoseiid (Phytoseiidae) and tydeoid mites (Tydeidae), are important to control phytophagous mites (Tetranychidae and Eriophyidae) on vines. In the absence of arthropod prey, pollen is an important food source for predatory mites. In 32 paired vineyards located in Burgenland/Austria, we examined the effect of landscape composition, management type (organic/integrated), pesticide use, and cover crop diversity of the inter-row on the densities of phytoseiid, tydeoid, and phytophagous mites. In addition, we sampled pollen on vine leaves. Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten was the main phytoseiid mite species and Tydeus goetzi Schruft the main tydeoid species. Interestingly, the area-related acute pesticide toxicity loading was higher in organic than in integrated vineyards. The densities of phytoseiid and tydeoid mites was higher in integrated vineyards and in vineyards with spontaneous vegetation. Their population also profited from an increased viticultural area at the landscape scale. Eriophyoid mite densities were extremely low across all vineyards and spider mites were absent. Biological pest control of phytophagous mites benefits from less intensive pesticide use and spontaneous vegetation cover in vineyard inter-rows, which should be considered in agri-environmental schemes.

“…Such a phenomenon is not exclusive of this system. Phytoseiid dispersal has been documented in other woody perennial crops, including apples and peaches (Raworth et al ., ; Wari et al ., ). In both cases, N. californicus was found dispersing from either bare ground or grass and wild cover to the canopy.…”

1 The abundance and frequency of Anaphothrips obscurus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) increased in a cover of Festuca arundinacea (Poaceae) when this plant was used to improve the biological control of the clementine key pest Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae). 2 To unveil the ecological role of A. obscurus in this system, we re-explored field data and performed laboratory studies aiming to determine its demographic parameters and feeding habits, as well as its role as a prey of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) occurring in the Spanish citrus agreoecosystem. 3 Field studies indicate that T. urticae populations decreased, whereas those of A.obscurus and phytoseiids, as a whole, increased. 4 Reproductive and demographic parameters of macropterous and brachypterous morphs of A. obscurus were different and confirmed the host status of F. arundinacea. 5 Anaphothrips obscurus could compete with T. urticae as a result of its higher intrinsic rate of increase in F. arundinacea. However, A. obscurus zoophagy on T. urticae eggs and the host status of citrus can be discarded. 6 Anaphothrips obscurus can be a prey for Euseius stipulatus, Neoseiulus barkeri and Neoseiulus californicus (three phytoseiids preying on T. urticae), suggesting that apparent competition between A. obscurus and T. urticae could occur in citrus orchards.

a mis padres, por educarme en el valor del esfuerzo personal para lograr mis fines y por apoyarme incondicionalmente en este proyecto y en muchos otros que he iniciado a lo largo de mi vida, y que me han llevado a ser quien soy, y a mi hermana, siempre dispuesta a echarme una mano y a darme palabras de ánimo, a Joaquín y Mª Dolores, por estar siempre donde haga falta, a Rubén, compañero de vida y lucero en la oscuridad, y por supuesto a Marco, mi pequeño torbellino de caracoles dorados, capaz de hacer que salga el sol incluso en mis días más nublados. A todos vosotros quiero expresaros mi agradecimiento desde el corazón.
