“…Population dynamics of T. cinnabarinus Boisduval was inhibited in response to increased tannin levels (a polyphenol compound) in cotton ( Ma et al, 2021 ). Similar to our study, Alizade et al (2016) showed enhanced life history performance and population growth of T. urticae on N-fertilized strawberry plants. Increasing N content of the host plant tissue via chemical N fertilization improved the availability of dietary proteins, which typically benefits herbivores such as two-spotted spider mites ( Alizade et al, 2016 ; Hosseini et al, 2018 ).…”

“…This experiment was performed in a completely randomized design with leaves detached from 20 singly-potted strawberry plants, for each of the five treatments. About 1 month after seedling transplanting, leaves were clipped from clean strawberry plants that were in the 6- to 8-leaf stage and used to examine the life history of T. urticae in whole leaf tests ( Alizade et al, 2016 ). To this end, the youngest fully developed leaf (average size 8.3 × 6.5 cm) of each strawberry plant was placed upside down on water-saturated cotton in a Petri dish (Ø 9 cm) and the Petri dishes were stored in a climate-controlled incubator at 25 ± 1.8°C, 70 ± 10% RH, and 16:8 h (L: D) photoperiod.…”

“…However, the effects of PGPR on aboveground herbivores of strawberry have not yet been investigated. Two-spotted spider mites Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) are ubiquitous herbivores and highly destructive pests of a wide variety of agricultural and horticultural crops and may cause significant yield loss in field- and greenhouse-grown strawberry plants ( Wermelinger et al, 1985 ; Migeon et al, 2010 ; Alizade et al, 2016 ). Severe spider mite infestations may strongly reduce strawberry fruit quality and quantity ( Attia et al, 2013 ).…”

Plants mediate interactions between below- and above-ground microbial and animal communities. Microbial communities of the rhizosphere commonly include mutualistic symbionts such as mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobia and free-living plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that may influence plant growth and/or its defense system against aboveground pathogens and herbivores. Here, we scrutinized the effects of three PGPR, Azotobacter chroococcum, Azospirillum brasilense, and Pseudomonas brassicacearum, on life history and population dynamics of two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae, feeding on aboveground tissue of strawberry plants, and examined associated plant growth and physiology parameters. Our experiments suggest that these three species of free-living rhizobacteria strengthen the constitutive, and/or induce the direct, anti-herbivore defense system of strawberry plants. All three bacterial species exerted adverse effects on life history and population dynamics of T. urticae and positive effects on flowering and physiology of whole strawberry plants. Spider mites, in each life stage and in total, needed longer time to develop on PGPR-treated plants and had lower immature survival rates than those fed on chemically fertilized and untreated plants. Reduced age-specific fecundity, longer developmental time and lower age-specific survival rates of mites feeding on rhizobacteria treated plants reduced their intrinsic rate of increase as compared to mites feeding on chemically fertilized and control plants. The mean abundance was lower in spider mite populations feeding on PGPR-treated strawberries than in those feeding on chemically fertilized and untreated plants. We argue that the three studied PGPR systemically strengthened and/or induced resistance in above-ground plant parts and enhanced the level of biochemical anti-herbivore defense. This was probably achieved by inducing or upregulating the production of secondary plant metabolites, such as phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanins, which were previously shown to be involved in induced systemic resistance of strawberry plants. Overall, our study emphasizes that PGPR treatment can be a favorable strawberry plant cultivation measure because providing essential nutrients needed for proper plant growth and at the same time decreasing the life history performance and population growth of the notorious herbivorous pest T. urticae.

Biology of Mononychelus planki (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Calopogonium mucunoides (Plantae: Fabaceae)

The spider mite Mononychellus planki (McGregor) has been considered a threat to soybean in Brazil, where it is referred to as soybean-green-mite. It has been reported from several countries in the American continent and in the Caribbean, attacking 68 plant species of 12 families, but mostly Fabaceae and Malvaceae. Calopogonium mucunoides Desv. is a common plant of spontaneous occurrence in Brazil, where it is often attacked by M. planki. Both the mite and C. mucunoides seem to be of American origin. The objective of this work was to evaluate the importance of C. mucunoides as a host for M. planki. Duration of the immature phase (11.5 ± 0.9 – 11.9 ± 0.2 days) was comparable to values reported for the mite on soybean, but total fecundity (18.1 ± 0.5 – 18.7 ± 2.3 eggs) was much lower. Values of life table parameters (rm, R0 and λ) were relatively low, reflecting the reduced ability of M. planki to reach high numbers on this plant, possibly as a result of their co-evolution. Yet, the present study suggests the importance of C. mucunoides in maintaining M. planki population under natural conditions, in the absence of soybean, a plant introduced to the Americas.

“…The plants were fertilized with NPK once a wk for 8 consecutive wk, and mono-ammonium phosphate (12-61-0) (36.10 g), ammonium nitrate (12-00-46) (35.16 g), and urea (46-00-00) (13.75 g) diluted in 20 L of water. From the ninth wk, fertilization was suspended to avoid the possible effect of macroelements on twospotted spider mite (Ribeiro et al 2012;Alizade et al 2016). Twenty-five d before the infestation of the plants with twospotted spider mite, the insecticide Dibrol® 2.5 EC was applied (1 mL of the product with L -1 of water, to eliminate the presence of other phytophagous pests.…”
