| Resumo: | Citrus leprosis is one of the most critical diseases in citrus orchards in Brazil. The use of predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae may represent a promising alternative for controlling Brevipalpus yothersi, the main vector of the citrus leprosis virus. The study was carried out to evaluate the potential use of Amblydromalus limonicus for the biological control of B. yothersi, verifying predation rates on different life stages (eggs, larvae, and adults) of leprosis mite and observing predator oviposition rates resulting from its feeding behaviour. |
| Descrição: | Citrus leprosis is one of the most critical diseases in citrus orchards in Brazil. The use of predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae may represent a promising alternative for controlling Brevipalpus yothersi, the main vector of the citrus leprosis virus. The study was carried out to evaluate the potential use of Amblydromalus limonicus for the biological control of B. yothersi, verifying predation rates on different life stages (eggs, larvae, and adults) of leprosis mite and observing predator oviposition rates resulting from its feeding behaviour. The predator showed a high predation rate for eggs and larvae of B. yothersi, consuming in average 76.8 eggs and 69.5 larvae of the mite per predator female per day, for the highest prey density (80) per arena. This feeding resulted in oviposition rates of up to 1.75 and 2.0 eggs per female predator per day, for eggs and larvae of B. yothersi, respectively. In the case of B. yothersi adults, the predation rates were very low (≤0.25 adults per predator female per day). The results indicate that A. limonicus has potential for use as a biological control agent for the citrus leprosis mite. |
