| mite diversity (acari: tetranychidae, tydeidae, iolinidae, phytoseiidae) and within-tree distribution in citrus orchards in southern spain, with special reference to eutetranychus orientalis. | mite diversity of selected citrus orchards in andalusia (southern spain) was studied during 2002-2007. the following species were found: eutetranychus orientalis, tetranychus urticae, panonychus citri (tetranychidae), tydeus californicus, lorryia formosa (tydeidae), pronematus ubiquitus (iolinidae), euseius stipulatus, typhlodromus phialatus, neoseiulus californicus, euseius scutalis, phytoseiulus persimilis, paraseiulus talbii and neoseiulus cucumeris (phytoseiidae). eutetranychus orientalis wa ... | 2017 | 29022207 |
| population studies of arthropods on melia azedarach in seville (spain), with special reference to eutetranychus orientalis (acari: tetranychidae) and its natural enemies. | eutetranychus orientalis has become an important pest of the ornamental tree melia azedarach in the city of seville (spain). trees suffer total defoliation at the end of summer. studies were conducted in a regular plantation of this tree in the miraflores park in 2008 and 2009, to determine the arthropod faunal composition, with particular interest in the possible natural enemies of e. orientalis. eutetranychus orientalis accounted for 98.3% of the arthropods found on the leaflets. two species o ... | 2011 | 21755411 |
| new mite invasions in citrus in the early years of the 21st century. | several mite species commonly attack cultivated citrus around the world. up to 104 phytophagous species have been reported causing damage to leaves, buds and fruits, but only a dozen can be considered major pests requiring control measures. in recent years, several species have expanded their geographical range primarily due to the great increase in trade and travel worldwide, representing a threat to agriculture in many countries. three spider mite species (acari: tetranychidae) have recently i ... | 2013 | 23135361 |
| consumption rate, functional response and preference of the predaceous mite iphiseius degenerans to tetranychus urticae and eutetranychus orientalis. | the functional response of females of the phytoseiid mite, iphiseius degenerans (berlese), to increasing densities of females of its prey, tetranychus urticae koch and eutetranychus orientalis klein, on bean leaves, were studied under laboratory conditions. our results indicated that the predator consumed significantly more items of e. orientalis than of t. urticae at all densities treatments. daily consumption of the predator increased with increasing prey density until a plateau was reached-ma ... | 2012 | 22527836 |
