Rearing of coconut mite Aceria guerreronis and the predatory mite Neoseiulus baraki in the laboratory

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2007
A method was developed for the rearing of coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae), and its predatory mite Neoseiulus baraki (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on embryo culture seedlings of coconut (Cocos nucifera) in the laboratory. Seedlings in the ages of

Targeting hidden pests: acaricides against the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis

Journal of Pest Science, 2016
The control of hidden pest species with pesticides depends on the accurate timing of the application to reach the life stages during their only moment of vulnerability, which is when the pests (temporarily) leave their hiding places. A curious case involves the colonization of the coconut perianth, a bract-protected region of the fruit, by the coconut ...

Distribution of Aceria guerreronis and Neoseiulus baraki among and within coconut bunches in northeast Brazil

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2011
Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae) is considered a major pest of coconut in many countries in the Americas, Africa and parts of Asia. Neoseiulus baraki Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is one of the predatory mites most commonly found in association with A. guerreronis in parts of northeast Brazil.

Occurrence and seasonal prevalence of the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis (Eriophyidae), and associated arthropods in Oman

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2013
The coconut palm is an important crop in the sub arid coastal plain of Dhofar, Oman, for the high demand for its nut water and its use as ornamental plant. Damage of coconut fruits by the eriophyid mite Aceria guerreronis Keifer was first reported in that region in the late 1980s, but background information about the ecology of the pest in Oman was ...

Management of Coconut Eriophyid Mite (Aceria guerreronis K.) to Revive Coconut Cultivation in Bangladesh

2023
Coconut mite injures the tender portion of young nuts and suck sap. Initially the damage appears as a triangular yellowish brown patch extending distally on the fruit surface from beneath the perianth. The injury ultimately leads to warting and longitudinal fissures on the nut surface. The growth of nut is prevented and ultimately the usual size of the

A review of the status of the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis (Acari: Eriophyidae), a major tropical mite pest

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2012
The coconut mite (CM), Aceria guerreronis Keifer, has spread to most coconut production areas worldwide and it has been considered one of the most notorious and important pests of coconut fruits in many countries. Although CM has been reported to damage coconuts for over 40 years in the Americas and Africa it continues to cause considerable losses in ...

A method to test the pathogenicity of fungi to Aceria guerreronis with particular reference to Hirsutella thompsonii

Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2004
Abstract A simple method has been devised for testing the pathogenicity of fungal pathogens, especially Hirsutella thompsonii, against the coconut eriophyid mite, Aceria guerreronis. Except one or two bracts of the inner whorl of the perianth, under which an active and healthy population of the mite was thriving, the rest of the five or four bracts ...

Chemosensory cues of predators and competitors influence search for refuge in fruit by the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2018
Organisms are adapted to recognize environmental cues that can provide information about predation risk or competition. Non-vagrant eriophyoid mites mainly avoid predation by using habitats that are difficult for predators to access (galls or confined spaces in plants) such as the meristematic region of the coconut fruit, which is inhabited by the ...

Status of coconut mite Aceria guerreronis and biological control research in Sri Lanka

2010
The coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis (Acari: Eriophyidae), invaded Sri Lanka in 1997, and subsequently spread in many areas infesting 17% of the total coconut extent by 2005. It is more prevalent in the dry zone than in the intermediate and wet zones. Within each year, populations fluctuated with high peaks in June-August and relatively low levels in ...
