Distribution patterns of coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis, and its predator Neoseiulus aff. paspalivorus in coconut palms

Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2003
Distribution patterns and numerical variability of the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae) and its predator Neoseiulus aff. paspalivorus DeLeon (Phytoseiidae) on the nuts of 3- to 7-month-old bunches of coconut palms were studied at two sites in Sri Lanka.

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 ...

Evidence for suppressing coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis by inundative release of the predatory mite, Neoseiulus baraki

Biological Control, 2010
Abstract In this paper, we report the first evidence for the suppression of coconut mite Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae) populations by augmenting the natural population of the predatory mite, Neoseiulus baraki (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) by an inundative release with laboratory-bred N. baraki.

The coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis, in Benin and Tanzania: occurrence, damage and associated acarine fauna

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2011
The coconut mite Aceria guerreronis (Eriophyidae) is considered the most important pest of coconut fruits in Africa; however, quantitative knowledge about its distribution and abundance is lacking. We conducted four diagnostic surveys-three in Southern Benin and one along the coast of Tanzania-to determine the distribution of A.

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

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
