Mite species of the vegetable crops in Ordu Province with first report of Amblyseius rademacheri Dosse, 1958 (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) in Turkey

Abstract

Turkey has suitable ecological conditions to grow a wide variety of vegetables. This research was conducted to investigate mite species on cultivated vegetables that include bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL., Fabaceae), corn (ZeamaysL.,Poaceae), cucumber (Cucumis sativusL., Cucurbitaceae), eggplant (Solanum melongenaL., Solanaceae), leek (Allium porrumL., Alliaceae), lettuce (Lactuca sativaL., Asteraceae), onion (Allium cepaL., Alliaceae), pepper (Capsicum annuumL., Solanaceae), potato (Solanum tuberosumL., Solanaceae), radish (Raphanus sativusL., Brassicaceae), tomato (Solanum lycopersicumL., Solanaceae), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai., Cucurbitaceae) and zucchini (Cucurbitasp., Cucurbitaceae) during 2013-2015 in Ordu Province in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. The samples were taken at weekly intervals from April to October each year. A total of 2030 mite specimens were collected and examined during the study. A total of 43 mite species belonging 15 families and 30 genera were identified. Among them, Tetranychus urticaeKoch, 1836 (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) was found to be the most common phytophagous mite, while Amblyseius swirskiiAthias-Henriot, 1962 (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) was the most abundant predator. In addition, Amblyseius rademacheriDosse, 1958 (Mesostigmata: Pyhtoseiidae) was reported for the first time in Turkey. This new record redescribed and illustrated based on the specimens collected from Solanum melongenaL. (Solanaceae). An identification key for the Turkish Amblyseiusis also provided.
