    Predatory capacity of Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

    Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is present naturally in many plants, as a natural enemy with a high predatory potential. The mite Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is a polyphagous pest and is the vector of the coffee ring spot virus in coffee plants. This work was made to evaluate the predatory capacity of C. externa larvae on B. phoenicis through bioassays. The experiments were done under laboratory conditions, using 3-cm diameter arenas made up of Catuai coffee leaves (Coffea arabica L.). Fifty mites were placed in each arena for each development phase and green lacewing larva (1st 2nd and 3rd instar), with 16 replicates. The evaluation period was of 4 hours. First instar larvae showed better predatory capacity when compared to those of second and third instars regardless the mite developmental stage. Preference of first instar larvae of C. externa was for eggs, followed by larvae, nymphs and finally by adults of B. phoenicis. Therefore, results indicate that larvae of C. externa can act as an auxiliary organism in regulating B. phoenicis populations in coffee trees agroecosystems.

    Selectivity of agrochemicals on predatory mites (Phytoseiidae) found on coffee plants
    (Editora UFLA, 2006-04) Reis, Paulo Rebelles; Franco, Renato André; Pedro Neto, Marçal; Teodoro, Adenir Vieira
    An evaluation on the effect of agrochemicals to the predatory mites Euseius alatus DeLeon, 1966, Euseius citrifolius Denmark & Muma, 1970, Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant, 1959) and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma, 1972 (Phytoseiidae) is presented in this paper. These predators are frequently associated to Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), vector of the coffee ring spot virus, and to Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1917) (Acari: Tetranychidae) on coffee plants. The residual contact bioassay of spraying in glass surface was used. Twenty-six currently used agrochemicals or those with potential to be used in Brazilian coffee production were tested. Spraying was conducted using a Potter tower at a pressure of 15 lb/pol2; each cover glass received 1.68 ± 0.36 mg/cm2 of the tested products. Adverse effect on the predatory mites was calculated taking into account the mortality of females and the effect in the reproduction during eight days. Tested products were ranked in four toxicity classes according IOBC/WPRS, by the total effect caused to the mite. Five products (fenbutatin oxide, hexythiazox, spiromesifen, spirodiclofen and emamectin) were innocuous or slightly noxious to all predators, whereas three products (abamectin, sulfur and endosulfan) were innocuous or slightly noxious to three of the four predators.
