“…Variation in armyworm presence is likely due to temperature and crop phenology (Ni et al 2003). Acosta-Guadarrama et al (2017), in their research on spatial distribution of thrips and its control through the predator A. swirskii in avocado, pointed out that the spherical model was the best fit for the dataset, indicating that aggregations of insects occur in certain areas of the plot with respect to the other points. The models that best fitted the data-sets (spherical and gaussian), are indicative that O. punicae does not have an established spatial behavior, because climatic factors such as: temperature, humidity, exposure to sun, among others influence the spatial distribution of the mite; therefore the present study is of great interest because it details the patterns of movement and permanence at specific points where preventive management programs can be performed at the aggregations and thereby maintain low infestation levels with economic savings.…”

“…There have been numerous investigations in spatial distribution modelling of insects, diseases, and mites in avocado. In relation to insects, Acosta-Guadarrama et al (2017) carried out a study using geostatistical techniques to study spatial distribution of Thrips spp. (Thysanoptera) and assessment of its control by the predator Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in avocado crops.…”

“…In Coatepec de Harinas, State of Mexico, producers carried out biological control of Trips spp. using Amblyseius swirskii (Acosta-Guadarrama et al, 2017). This methodology has also been used to control the red spider mite (Oligonychus punicae Hirst) in two municipalities of the State of Mexico; this has resulted in the optimization of the use of agricultural inputs, causing less environmental damage (Lara-Vázquez et al, 2018).…”

Objective: To characterize the avocado production system in Huatusco, Veracruz. Design/Methodology/Approach: Interviews based on the snowball method were applied to avocado producers in Huatusco, Veracruz. Meanwhile, fruit and water samples were used to perform a multiresidue analysis of pesticides. Results: The monoculture plantations are rainfed. They have a density of 100-150 trees ha-1. The Hass variety predominates in Andosols, with 5-100% slopes. Most of the producers (92%) carry out conventional management, applying pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Herbicides and brushcutters are used to control weeds. No pesticides were detected in the water samples, while Imidacloprid, Thiabendazole, and alpha-Cypermethrin were identified in a fruit sample, with 0.0038 ± 0.0014 mg/kg, 0.0022 ± 0.0009 mg/kg and 0.0703 ± 0.000 mg /kg concentrations, respectively. These concentrations fall within the limits allowed in Mexico. Study Limitations/Implications: A detailed and frequent sampling of avocado fruits should be carried out to determine pesticide residues. It is also necessary to analyze samples of running water near the orchards to prevent pollution. Findings/Conclusions: The empirical knowledge of the producers about the type of soil is more precise than the scientific classification: they identify five classes of soils beyond Andosols. Additionally, there is a marked inequality in land tenure, since large-scale producers (25% of all producers) own 86% of the established area. Although, in a preliminary sampling, pesticide concentrations did not exceed the limits of residues allowed in the avocado pulp, the number of pesticide applications should be reduced.

Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom) is a serious pest of melon crops and is commonly found in the main producing areas of melon in Brazil (North and Northeast regions). This pest causes significant losses, damaging plants through feeding and tospovirus vectoring. Thus, the proper management of F. schultzei is crucial to prevent economic losses, and knowledge of the within-field distribution patterns of F. schultzei can be used to improve this pest management. This study aimed to determine the within-field distribution (through semivariogram modeling and kriging interpolation) and the factors associated with F. schultzei abundance in open-field yellow melon crops. We surveyed four yellow melon fields located in Formoso do Araguaia (Tocantins state, North Brazil) for thrips abundance in various crop stages (vegetative, flowering, and fruiting) in 2015 and 2016. Twelve models were fitted and it was determined that F. schultzei counts were strongly aggregated. The median spatial dependence was 4.79 m (range 3.55 to 8.02 m). The surface maps generated by kriging depicted an edge effect in fields 3 and 4. In addition, correlation analyses indicated that air temperature and presence of surrounding cucurbits are positively associated with F. schultzei abundance in yellow melon fields. Altogether, these insights can be combined for spatially based pest management, especially when the conditions (cucurbits in the surroundings and warmer periods) are favorable to F. schultzei.
