Au Québec, la stratégie de lutte contre le tétranyque rouge du pommier (Panonychus ulmi) et le tétranyque à deux points (Tetranychus urticae) dans les vergers de pommier (Malus pumila) repose actuellement sur l'emploi d'acaricides coûteux. Par ailleurs, les consommateurs exigent de plus en plus des fruits exempts de pesticides. Dans ce contexte, l'utilisation de méthodes de lutte non chimiques suscite un grand intérêt auprès des pomiculteurs. Depuis plusieurs années, les efforts de recherche et les essais conduits aux États-Unis et en Europe ont donné un large essor à l'utilisation de souches d'acariens prédateurs résistants à certaines classes de pesticides. Au Québec, des expériences de lutte biologique avec l'acarien prédateur Amblyseius fallacis [Acarina: Phytoseiidae] ont été entreprises depuis quelques années. Cet article se propose d'exposer la problématique de la lutte contre les acariens nuisibles dans les vergers québécois ainsi que les perspectives d'avenir de l'utilisation de la lutte biologique contre ces ravageurs.

AbstractMore than 40 species of insects and arachnids attack Panonychus ulmi (Koch), Tetranychus urticae Koch, T. canadensis (McGregor), Bryobia arborea Morgan and Anderson, or Aculus cornutus (Banks) in peach orchards of the Niagara Peninsula. The most effective predators attacking P. ulmi are Typhlodromus caudiglans Schuster, Haplothrips faurei Hood, Stethorus punctillum Weise, and Chrysopa spp. Peach orchards lack the predatory mirids characteristic of apple orchards. A condition, presumably disease, caused heavy mortality in one year. Endemic densities of P. ulmi are maintained in that state by predators, chiefly T. caudiglans, that subsist to a considerable extent on other sources of food, whereas epidemics of P. ulmi are reduced largely by other predators, chiefly H. faurei and S. punctillum, that increase in numbers by feeding on the mite during its period of rapid population growth but exert their greatest effect later in the season by destroying the winter eggs.

AbstractNymphal and adult Diaphnidia capitata (Van Duzee) have long been recognized as predators of Panonychus ulmi (Koch) and Tetranychus urticae Koch. The eggs and oviposition sites preferred by this species are described herein to supplement available descriptions of the eggs of mirid predators of spider mites.

Para conhecer os estímulos olfativos à curta distância que Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) usa para encontrar seu alimento, isto é, os ácaros fitófagos Panonychus ulmi (Koch) e Tetranychus urticae Koch, estudaram-se as respostas deste ácaro predador em relação aos aleloquímicos voláteis oriundos tanto das duas espécies de presa como de sua planta hospedeira, Malus domestica (Borkham). Na extremidade de um braço da trilha em Y foi introduzido um disco de folha sadia de macieira (= controle) e na outra um dos oito tipos de estímulo (= tratamento) seguintes: 1) folha sadia, 2) folha sadia com a presa, 3) folha sadia com cairomônios da presa, 4) folha sadia com a presa e seus cairomônios, 5) folha atacada limpa, 6) folha atacada com a presa, 7) folha atacada com cairomônios da presa e 8) folha atacada com a presa e seus cairomônios. Para cada tratamento, observou-se a direção do deslocamento do ácaro predador e analisou-se sua porcentagem de resposta. Para localizar P. ulmi, N. californicus orientou-se pelos estímulos oriundos de folhas sadias com a presa e seus cairomônios (T4), folhas atacadas com cairomônios da presa (T7) e folhas atacadas com a presa e seus cairomônios (T8). Com relação a T. urticae, o ácaro predador respondeu significativamente aos estímulos oriundos de folhas sadias com cairomônios da presa (T3) e de folhas sadias com a presa e seus cairomônios (T4), assim como de todas as combinações com folhas atacadas (T5-8). Estes resultados demonstram que os voláteis emanados pelos ácaros fitófagos, por seus subprodutos e pela planta por eles atacada, em conjunto ou isoladamente, são importantes fontes de informação para N. californicus localizar T. urticae à curta distância. Por outro lado, somente a combinação de dois ou mais estímulos olfativos parece sinalizar a localização de P. ulmi para o ácaro predador, principalmente se os cairomônios de suas fezes, ovos e exúvias estiveram incluídos em tal mistura.

Two factors, in addition to temperature, could affect the assessment of Amblyseius fallacis as a natural enemy of Tetranychus urticae infesting alfalfa. These are initial prey density and sampling of the predator–prey populations during daylight hours. The influence of these factors was determined by propagating predator–prey populations having different initial prey densities on alfalfa in the greenhouse, recording the subsequent variation in the numbers of the two species during daylight hours, and comparing estimates of the rates at which prey entered and were removed from the populations. A. fallacis was able to reduce prey density before webbing of the alfalfa plants occurred. Prey consumption by the predator populations was judged capable of inducing the observed decline in prey numbers.

Populations of the two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae, and its acarine predator, Amblyseius fallacis, were propagated on alfalfa in the greenhouse at constant temperatures in the range 65 to 85 °F (18.3–29.4 °C). The predator limited the initial increase in prey abundance only at temperatures above about 70 °F (21.1 °C). At 80 and 85 °F (26.7 and 29.4 °C) fluctuations in prey and predator numbers increased in amplitude as propagation continued. The age structure of the predator population reared at 75 °F (23.9 °C) differed from that of populations propagated at the other temperatures.
