Resumo
Dentre as pragas que atacam o cafeeiro (Coffea spp.), destacam-se algumas espécies de ácaros fitófagos que podem causar perdas consideráveis, como por exemplo, Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1917) (Acari: Tetranychidae) e Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), vetor do vírus da mancha-anular do cafeeiro (CoRSV). Estudos recentes têm indicado que ácaros da família Stigmaeidae, principalmente dos gêneros Agistemus e Zetzellia, são importantes inimigos naturais de ácaros-praga, como B. phoenicis e O. ilicis. Objetivou-se, no presente trabalho, avaliar o efeito de diversos compostos químicos (inseticidas, acaricidas e fungicidas), utilizados em cafeeiro e/ou citros (ou em fase de registro) no Brasil, sobre o ácaro-praga B. phoenicis e o predador Agistemus brasiliensis Matioli, Ueckermann & Oliveira, 2002 (Acari: Stigmaeidae). Foram avaliados diversos agroquímicos, utilizando-os em suas concentrações recomendadas para o controle de pragas ou doenças em cafeeiro ou citros. As aplicações foram realizadas em torre de Potter. Avaliou-se a toxicidade sobre adultos de ambas as espécies, além do efeito dos compostos sobre a taxa de crescimento instantânea (r i ) dos ácaros. Abamectina, cipermetrina+profenofós, deltametrina+triazofós, diafentiurom, fenpropatrina, espirodiclofeno e etoxazol foram altamente prejudiciais a B. phoenicis e A. brasiliensis. Ciflumetofem e malationa causaram redução populacional de B. phoenicis, mas não afetaram o crescimento populacional de A. brasiliensis. Tiofanato-metílico afetou o crescimento populacional das duas espécies, mas foi mais prejudicial a A. brasiliensis. Oxicloreto de cobre reduziu apenas o crescimento populacional do ácaro predador.
Among the pests that attack coffee plants (Coffea spp.), it stands out some species of phytophagous mites which can cause significant losses, such as, Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1917) (Acari: Tetranychidae) and Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), vector of the coffee ringspot virus (CoRSV). Recent studies have indicated that stigmaeid mites, mainly of the genera Agistemus and Zetzellia, are important natural enemies of pest mites such as B. phoenicis and O. ilicis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of various chemical compounds (insecticides, acaricides and fungicides) used in coffee and/or citrus plantations (or under registration) in Brazil on the mite pest B. phoenicis and the predator Agistemus brasiliensis Matioli, Ueckermann & Oliveira, 2002 (Acari: Stigmaeidae). Various pesticides were tested, using the concentrations recommended for the control of pests on coffee or citrus plants. The applications were performed in a Potter spray tower. It was evaluated the toxicity of chemicals on the adults of both mite species, besides the effect of compounds on the instantaneous growth rates (r i ) of the mites. Abamectin, profenophos + cypermethrin, deltamethrin + triazophos, diafenthiuron, fenpropathrin, spirodiclofen and etoxazole were harmfull to B. phoenicis and A. brasiliensis. Cyflumetofen and malathion caused population reductions in B. phoenicis, but did not affect the population growth of A. brasiliensis. Thiophanate-methyl affected the population growth of both species, but was more toxic to A. brasiliensis. Copper oxychloride reduced only the population growth of the predaceous mite.
