“…Many investigators have documented reduced yield resulting from spider mite damage to cotton (Canerday and Arant 1964;Furr and Pfrimmer 1968;Mistric 1969;Roussel et al 1951). The degree of yield loss in the susceptible Acala SJ-2 was a function of mite density.…”

A spider mite-resistant and a spider mite-susceptible variety of cotton were planted in the field in a replicated design. An acaricide (dicofol) and an insecticide (acephate) were used to manipulate numbers of spider mites and their natural enemies. In general, numbers of spider mites remained low until just before midseason when 650°D air temperature had accumulated. At 650°D, mite numbers began to increase more sharply and reached significantly (P

“…Light to moderate infestations of the other spe cies may be of little significance. Roussel et al (1951) reported a reduction in seed cotton yield of 45 per cent resulting from attack by Allonychus hraziliensis (Mc Gregor). Canerday and Arant (1964a, b) reported that the yield of cotton was reduced to 14 to 44 per cent by T. cinnabarinus and 13 to 22 per cent by T.…”

The literature pertalOlOg to the bionomics of some of the mos t important tetranychids is r~viewed. Considerable attention is paid to the possihiliries of spider mites reaching pest le~els /as a 'resu lt of environmental factors. It is concluded that more infor--m ation is needed on economic injury levels of various species on d ifferent crops and under various climatic conditions. The in-I fluences of cultural practices and their interactions as related to population development of tetranychids also need more i tu dy. Furthermore, work is need~d on the influence of climatic conditions on development of retranychid mite populations together with possible predictability 'of outbreak situations. Finally; we need to know more about ·th)e fundamental relations between the host-planr-qualiry and spider mite development, and the, impact of spider mites on the development .of their .host p lants.

“…The tumid spider mite was first described in 1900 from a water hyacinth in Florida (Banks, 1900). Since then it has been reported from Georgia (Flechtmann and Hunter, 1971), Tennessee (Rodriguez et al, 1957), Louisiana (Roussel et al, 1951), Texas (Ivy and Scales, 1954), Arizona and California (Bibby and Tuttle, 1959). It was also found in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Guam, and Trinidad (Pritchard and Baker, 1955), as well as in Hawaii (Prasad, 1967).…”

“…The tumid spider mite is a polyphagous spider mite with over 70 host plants belonging to the Leguminosae, Malvaceae, Compositae, and Gramineae (Saba, 1974). T. tumidus has been considered a serious pest of Vegetables and ornamentals in Florida (Saba, 1974;Reinert, 1975;Reinert and Neel, 1977;Hamlen and Wettstein, 1978), as well as cotton in Louisiana (Roussel et al, 1951). The feeding injury to various crops in greenhouses in south Florida were evident throughout the year (Saba, 1974).…”

Development, survivorship, and reproduction of the tumid spider mite (Tetranychus tumidus Banks) on coconut palm were evaluated at 6 constant temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35°C). The developmental periods of immature stages ranged from 39.6 d at 15°C to 7.4 d at 30°C. The mite failed to develop beyond the larval stage at 10°C. The lower temperature developmental thresholds for egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph and the combined immature stages were estimated at 11.1, 12.9, 12.1, 11.1, and 11.9°C, respectively. The upper temperature thresholds of 25.9-35.9°C for development of immature stages were determined from a nonlinear biophysical model. The percentages of survivorship of immature stages varied from 56.4 to 93.7% within 15-35°C. The average longevity of adult females ranged from 48.7 d at 15°C to 7.9 d at 35°C. The average oviposition per female lifespan varied from 86.02 to 61.75 eggs within the temperature range of 20-30°C. However, oviposition was greatly reduced to 19.44 and 20.54 eggs at 15°C and 35°C, respectively. The largest rm (0.289) and Ro (59.67) occurred at 30°C. Populations reared at 15 and 35°C had lower Ro values of 12.74 and 12.99, respectively. The lowest rm value (0.042) was recorded at 15°C. The mean generation time of the population ranged from 60.7 d at 15°C to 11.7 d at 35°C. It was evident that the development, survivorship and reproduction of T. tumidus were significantly affected by temperatures. ;The optimal temperature for T. tumidus population growth was 30°C.
