Antibiosis of strawberry genotypes to the spotted spider mite

ABSTRACT: The spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch, 1836), is one of the most important pests strawberry production systems worldwide. Because plant resistance an integrated management strategy, present study investigated effects 12 genotypes on biological characteristics this pest under laboratory conditions (25 ± 2 °C and RH 60 10%; 12:12-hour photophase). experiment was carried using treatments (genotypes), divided into 20 replications each, in a completely randomized design. response variables were parameters mite its survival rate. development T. influenced by different genotypes. Camarosa cultivar together with Selection 05 2017-04-03 negatively affected urticae. 02 genotype had greatest susceptibility to which allowed fast high reproductive differently as function genotype, being unfavorable development, suggesting possible based antibiosis.
