Abstract
The international literature does not provide much information about the incidence of species of mites in nectarine cultivars. The purpose of the present study was to determine diversity and dynamics of populations of mites and their interactions in different nectarine cultivars in the southwestern region of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. These mites were split into 15 families, 22 genders and 28 species. Aculus fockeui (Nalepa & Trouessant) (Eriophyidae) was the most abundant species, with 90.2 % of the mites collected. The populations of A. fockeui displayed specific periods with greater number of individuals. Phytoseiidae showed the highest richness of species. Ricoseius loxocheles (De Leon) and Euseius ho (De Leon) were the most abundant predators. Euseius ho population showed a positive correlation with rainfall.
国际文献对油桃品种中螨类的发病率没有提供太多的信息。本研究的目的是确定巴西圣保罗州西南地区不同油桃品种中螨虫种群的多样性、动态及其相互作用。螨类分为15科22性别28种。福克棘螨(Nalepa & Trouessant)为最多种,占捕获螨总数的90.2%;福克香居群表现出个体数量较多的特定时期。植物科的物种丰富度最高。Ricoseius loxocheles (De Leon)和Euseius ho (De Leon)是数量最多的捕食者。尤西乌斯种群与降雨量呈正相关。
