Population-level effects of abamectin, azadirachtin and fenpyroximate on the predatory mite Neoseiulus baraki

Abstract: The coconut production system, in which the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis is considered a key pest, provides an interesting model for integration of biological and chemical control. In Brazil, the most promising biological control agent for the coconut mite is the phytoseiid predator Neoseiulus baraki. However, acaricides are widely used to control the coconut mite, although they frequently produce unsatisfactory results. In this study, we evaluated the simultaneous direct effect of dry residue contact and c… Show more

“…One hundred female predatory mites were released on each PVC disc, and were daily provided with epidermal fragments of coconut perianth (ca. 1 cm 3 ) containing between 80 and 100 coconut mites ( A. guerreronis ) at different developmental stages . The mites were reared under controlled conditions of 27.0 ± 0.5 0 C and 75.0 ± 10.0% relative humidity (RH), with a 12‐h photoperiod; the same conditions were used for all bioassays.…”

“…This response minimizes acaricide exposure and therefore will benefit the predatory mite survival when fleeing the chemical challenge. This response takes place even though the predatory mite is able to sustain the physiological cost associated with higher tolerance to acaricides compared with the coconut mite . This behavioural outcome and consequences have been reported in other insect species and have potential management implications .…”
