Brazilian citrus farming, which holds global leadership, has stood out for promoting socioeconomic growth, contributing to the national trade balance and, mainly, as a direct and indirect generator of jobs in rural areas. Some pests are economically important because they are vectors of pathogens in citrus, such as Diaphorina citri (HBL) and Brevipalpus yothersi (CiLV-C). Vegetable agribu…
Agriculture is one of the most important strategic sectors for society, generating food for the population and income for a large number of people linked to different agricultural production chains. Some pests, diseases and weeds still cause great damage to the sector, making agricultural production unfeasible when they occur in high infestations in certain regions. Chemical control has s…
Instituto Biológico (IB) is a research center coordinated by the São Paulo Agribusiness Technology Agency (APTA), the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of the State of São Paulo (SAA) and its mission is to "Develop and transfer scientific and technological knowledge for the agricultural business in the areas of animal and plant health, its relations with the environment, aiming at imp…
One of the factors that hamper the production and marketing of various agricultural crops of economic importance in Brazil is the attack of various species of pest mites, with emphasize to those of the families Tetranychidae (e.g.: Tetranychus, Panonychus) and Tenuipapidae (e.g.: Brevipalpus). The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, causes serious damage in several crops, i…
The mites Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes) have cosmopolitan distribution and live on more than 450 species of host plants. They are considered pests of economically importance on crops such as citrus, coffee, various fruit trees and ornamentals. B. phoenicis is associated with the transmission of several viruses, including the Citrus leprosis virus (CiLV) and Coffee ringspot virus (CoRSV…

Citrus cultivation is of great socioeconomic importance, being responsible for generating employment and income for a large number of people involved in the chain, in addition to generating foreign exchange in excess of US$1.5 billion per year for Brazil, due to the export of concentrated and frozen orange juice. Orange orchards can host a range of mite species, some of which are consider…
This project aims to develop sustainable strategies for pest management in citrus and vegetable crops in São Paulo state, using predatory mites. Although Brazil is a global leader in orange juice production, its citrus industry faces increasing challenges from pests such as the psyllid Diaphorina citri and the citrus leprosis mite Brevipalpus yothersi. Similarly, vegetable crops are affec…

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), considered one of the mite pests of greatest economic importance worldwide, causes serious damage in several crops. The use of predatory mites to control the spider mite is one of the most promising strategies for the pest control in commercial production systems for fruits, vegetables and ornamentals. The use o…
