Pest Mite

Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida (Tetranychidae) is one of the most important pest mite in Indonesia. This mite is known as the pest of many crops, including cassava. Neoseiulus longispinosus Evans (Phytoseiidae) is a predatory mite commonly found on plant infested by kanzawa spider mite. This predatory mite has high potential to be developed as biological control agent of T. kanzawai. The aim of this research is to elucidate the effective density and release time of N. longispinosus to control T. kanzawai on cassava. The research was conducted in the greenhouse, using cassava of Mentega cultivar. T. kanzawai were introduced into the cassava plants two weeks after planting, with density 5 female adults/plants. N. longispinosus were introduced 1, 2, and 3 weeks after T. kanzawai introduction with predator:prey ratio of 0:5, 1:5, 2:5, dan 3:5, respectively. Population of T. kanzawai and N. longispinosus, and also plant damage were observed at 6 weeks after planting. N. longispinosus could suppress T. kanzawai population and the highest suppression occurred at the interaction between 3:5 ratio and the release time at one week after T. kanzawai infestation. There was no significant effect of N. longispinosus release at various release ratio and time on attack intensity of T. kanzawai.

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is an important mite pest worldwide. It often leads to reduced crop yields or poor marketability of the produce and has already developed resistance to many acaricides. In this study, the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus (EPF), Acremonium hansfordii, to T. urticae and its side effects on the predatory mite Neoseiulus barkeri were compared. The toxicity of A. hansfordii was evaluated on T. urticae at 1.0×104, 1.0×106, 1.0×108 conidia/mL concentrations and predatory mite N. barkeri at 1.0×108 conidia/mL under experimental conditions at 25±1°C, 75±5% RH and 16L: 8D photoperiod. The effects of EPF on the development of the F0 and F1 generation of predatory mites were also assessed at 1.0×108 conidia/mL concentration. The results showed that the corrected mortality of T. urticae at three tested concentrations were 36.67%, 53.67% and 66.33% within 11d, and the median lethal time were 14.39 d, 9.84d and 7.99d, respectively. The corrected mortality of N. barkeri was only 3.9% after 11d at 1×108 conidia/mL concentration. Some hyphae of A. hansfordii were detected on the surface of treated T. urticae but not on N. barkeri body after 7d. After N. barkeri females were treated with 1.0×108 conidia/mL, the preoviposition period of the F0 generation was prolonged 1.56 times and the other life history parameters have no significant differences; similar patterns were also shown in the F1 generation. A. hansfordii showed strong pathogenicity against T. urticae but did not significantly adversely influence N. barkeri. Therefore, the combination of A. hansfordii and N. barkeri has the potential to be used for the control of T. urticae in the future.
