Abstract

Phytonemus pallidus fragariae Zimmerman (Trombidiformes: Tarsonemidae) is an important pest in strawberry cultivation worldwide, causing considerable economic losses with yield reductions ranging from 22 to 100%. This study investigated the population parameters of P. p. fragariae on three commercially important strawberry cultivars: Albion, Monterey, and San Andreas, using an age-stage, two-sex life table approach. All experimental procedures were conducted under the controlled conditions of 25 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 5% RH, and a 16:8 h (light: dark) photoperiod. The results showed that some developmental times and life table parameters of P. p. fragariae differed among the cultivars. Total pre-adult duration was longest on Albion (8.23 days), followed by Monterey (7.65 days) and San Andreas (7.10 days). Fecundity was highest on Albion (11.85 eggs/female), while no differences were observed in net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, and finite rate of increase among cultivars. However, the mean generation time was longest on Albion (13.85 days) and shortest on San Andreas (12.10 days). The findings indicate that the Albion cultivar is more suitable for development and reproduction. P. p. fragariae than the Monterey and San Andreas cultivars. This study provides initial insights into the life table parameters of P. p. fragariae on specific strawberry cultivars, enhancing our understanding of pest-host interactions. The data generated helps develop more effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies targeting this pest in strawberry production systems.

不同草莓品种苍白绒螨生命表参数的比较研究。

白僵菌（Phytonemus pallidus fragariae Zimmerman）是危害世界草莓栽培的重要害虫，产量减少22% ~ 100%，造成重大经济损失。本研究采用年龄阶段两性生命表法，对3个具有重要商业价值的草莓品种Albion、Monterey和San Andreas的种群参数进行了研究。所有实验过程均在25±2°C， 65±5% RH, 16:8 h（光：暗）光周期的控制条件下进行。结果表明，不同栽培品种间花椒的某些发育时间和生命表参数存在差异。成年前持续时间最长的是阿尔比恩（8.23天），其次是蒙特雷（7.65天）和圣安德烈亚斯（7.10天）。不同品种间的净繁殖率、内在增长率和有限增长率均无显著差异，以Albion最高（11.85粒/雌）。然而，平均生成时间最长的是阿尔比恩岛（13.85天），最短的是圣安德烈亚斯岛（12.10天）。结果表明，Albion品种更适合于发育和繁殖。蒙特利和圣安德烈亚斯品种。本研究初步揭示了不同草莓品种上fragariae的生命表参数，增强了我们对害虫与宿主相互作用的认识。所产生的数据有助于制定更有效的害虫综合管理（IPM）战略，针对草莓生产系统中的这种害虫。

期刊介绍： Experimental and Applied Acarology publishes peer-reviewed original papers describing advances in basic and applied research on mites and ticks. Coverage encompasses all Acari, including those of environmental, agricultural, medical and veterinary importance, and all the ways in which they interact with other organisms (plants, arthropods and other animals). The subject matter draws upon a wide variety of disciplines, including evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, toxicology, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and pest management sciences.
