Comprehensive Assessment Of Two Compounds And Spraying Equipment For Controlling Citrus Brown Mite Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein) ( Acari : Tetranychidae ) On Citrus Trees At Qalubia Province

Egg Production of the Citrus Red Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Lemon and Mandarin Orange

Environ.Enlomol.17(4): 715-721 (1988) ABSTRACT The suitability of lemon, Citrus limon (L.) Burm. cv. Lisbon, for egg production by the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor), was compared with that of mandarin orange, Citrus unshiu Markovitch cv. Satsuma in the field and laboratory over a 15-moperiod. The two plant specieswere most suitable during the spring (April-June), when mites gener...

Analysis of Transcriptome Differences between Resistant and Susceptible Strains of the Citrus Red Mite Panonychus citri (Acari: Tetranychidae)

BACKGROUND The citrus red mite is a worldwide citrus pest and a common sensitizing allergen of asthma and rhinitis. It has developed strong resistance to many registered acaricides, However, the molecular mechanisms of resistance remain unknown. we therefore used next generation sequencing technology to investigate the global transcriptomes between resistant strains and susceptible strains. R...

Effects of reducing sample size on density estimates of citrus rust mite (Acari: Eriophyidae) on citrus fruit: simulated sampling.

The consequence of reducing sample size on the accuracy and precision of estimates of citrus rust mite, Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead), densities on oranges was investigated. The sample unit was a 1-cm2 surface area on fruit. Sampling plans consisting of 360, 300, 200, 160, 80, 48, 36, or 20 samples per 4 ha were evaluated through computer simulations by using real count data from 32 data se...

(60)Co-γ irradiation affects the enzymatic antioxidant system of the citrus red mite Panonychus citri (Acari: Tetranychidae).

Radio-(60Co), which emits γ rays, has been used worldwide in pest control. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of effective-low-power 60Co-γ irradiation on the enzymatic antioxidant system of the citrus red mite Panonychus citri. One day old female adults were exposed to 0.4 kGy 60Co-γ irradiation and on the, 6th h, 1st day, 2nd day, and 5th day post treatment, the mites were...
