RÉSUMÉ

Abstract This study reports the first assessment of endophytic fungi isolated from strawberry leaves and selection of isolates for the control of Duponchelia fovealis, a new pest of strawberries. A total of 400 strawberry leaves of the cultivar 'Albion' were collected in four commercial farms. Leaves were disinfected, cut in fragments, and placed on Petri dishes containing potato dextrose agar media with tetracycline and incubated for 30 days. Following this time, 517 fungal colonies were isolated, and thirteen genera were identified: Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Nigrospora, Fusarium, Trichoderma, Chaetomium, Alternaria, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Ulocladium, Bipolaris, Diaporthe, and Phoma. Eight isolates belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Diaporthe, Paecilomyces, and Cladosporium were selected for pathogenicity bioassays against third instar larvae of D. fovealis. Isolates of Paecilomyces induced the highest mortality rates.


Resumo Este trabalho apresenta a primeira contribuição no isolamento de fungos endofíticos de folhas de morangueiro e na seleção de isolados para controle de Duponchelia fovealis, uma nova praga do morangueiro. Foram coletadas 400 folhas da cultivar 'Albion' em quatro lavouras comerciais de morangueiro. As folhas foram desinfetadas, cortadas em fragmentos e depositadas em placas de Petri contendo Ágar Batata Dextrose como meio, em conjunto com tetraciclina e incubados durante 30 dias. Um total de 517 colônias fúngicas e treze gêneros foram isolados: Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Nigrospora, Fusarium, Trichoderma, Chaetomium, Alternaria, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Ulocladium, Bipolaris, Diaporthe e Phoma. Oito isolados pertencentes aos gêneros Aspergillus, Diaporthe, Paecilomyces e Cladosporium foram selecionados para os bioensaios de virulência contra larvas de 3º instar de D. fovealis. Isolados de Paecilomyces causaram as maiores taxas de mortalidade.

RÉSUMÉ

Background Strawberry is a pseudofruit mainly cultivated in temperate climate regions. Considering its high levels of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds, the consumption of strawberry fruit can be beneficial to health. The Brazilian strawberry production revolves around 3000 tons per year, significantly influencing the food market and generating income to farmers. However, this production can be partially impaired by two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) Tetranychus urticae Koch infestations, due to decreases in the quality and quantity of fruit. Since there are no data in the literature about alterations caused by TSSM infestation in strawberry plants, our work aimed towards evaluating nutritional and physicochemical parameters of TSSM-infested strawberry plants, along with the related chemical treatment (CT) (acaricide) or biological treatment (predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis Banks). Results Strawberry fruit from TSSM-infested plants present the highest levels of acidity and exhibit low levels of anthocyanin and phenolic compounds, while fruit from TSSM-infested plants + biological control using predatory mite shows high levels of soluble solids, phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid, along with a high soluble solid content/titratable (SSC/TA) acidity ratio, which indicates high quality fruit. Conclusions Our results suggest that TSSM infestation decreases fruit quality and that the biological control of TSSM using a predatory mite is a suitable alternative to organic production, since the presence of predatory mite does not affect fruit quality and development.

RÉSUMÉ

The attack of phytophagous mites may induce plants to produce volatiles, which in turn may attract predators. The occurrence of multiple phytophagous infestations on plants may influence predator response. In this paper, we investigated whether the attraction of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) to phytophagous-infested plants would change with the simultaneous presence of two tetranichid mites Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor) and Tetranychus urticae Koch. While the former species is rarely found on strawberry plants and is only occasionally found in association with P. macropilis, the latter is commonly found on strawberry plants and is frequently found in association with P. macropilis. Y-tube olfactometer test assays demonstrated that the predator preferred plants infested with T. urticae, avoided plants infested with O. ilicis, and had no preference for plants infested with both phytophagous mite species. These results indicated that the presence of a non-prey species (O. ilicis) on a given plant can alter the response of the predator to one of its prey (T. urticae). The consequences of the predatory behavior determined in this study on the predator ability to control T. urticae population on strawberry plants are discussed.

RÉSUMÉ

Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) é uma das principais pragas associadas à cultura do morangueiro no Sul do Brasil. O ataque do inseto à cultura resulta no murchamento de fl ores e bronzeamento de frutos. Neste trabalho, foi estimada a temperatura base e as exigências térmicas das fases de ovo, larva e pupa de F. occidentalis em morangueiro. Os insetos foram criados em folíolos da planta nas temperaturas de 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 e 31°C, em câmaras climatizadas (70 ± 10% U.R.; fotofase de 12h). O número de gerações anuais que F. occidentalis completa foi estimado para seis regiões produtoras de morango no Rio Grande do Sul (RS), com base nas exigências térmicas da espécie. A velocidade de desenvolvimento de F. occidentalis aumentou com a elevação da temperatura. A faixa mais adequada para o desenvolvimento da espécie foi entre 25ºC e 28ºC. A temperatura basee a constante térmica para o período ovo-adulto foi de 9,9ºC e 211,9 graus-dia, respectivamente. Com base nas exigências térmicas de F. occidentalis, foram estimados 10,7; 12,6; 13,1; 13,6; 16,5 e 17,9 gerações/ano, respectivamente, para as regiões produtoras de morangueiro de Vacaria, Caxias do Sul, Farroupilha, Pelotas, Porto Alegre e Taquari, RS.


Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is one of the major strawberry pests in southern Brazil. The insect causes russeting and wither in fl owers and fruits reducing commercial value. Inthis work, the thermal requirements of the eggs, larvae and pupae of F. occidentalis were estimated. Thrips development was studied in folioles of strawberry plants at six constant temperatures (16, 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31°C) in controlled conditions (70 ± 10% R.H. and 12:12 L:D). The number of annual generations of F. occidentalis was estimated for six strawberry production regions of Rio Grandedo Sul State based on its thermal requirements. Developmental time of each F. occidentalis stages was proportional to the temperature increase. The best development rate was obtained when insects were reared at 25ºC and 28ºC. The lower threshold and the thermal requirements for the egg to adult stage were 9.9ºC and 211.9 degree-days, respectively. Considering the thermal requirements of F. occidentalis, 10.7, 12.6, 13.1, 13.6, 16.5 and 17.9 generations/year were estimated, respectively, for Vacaria, Caxias do Sul, Farroupilha, Pelotas, Porto Alegre and Taquari producing regions located in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.

RÉSUMÉ

O morangueiro, Fragaria x ananassa, pode ser atacado por diferentes espécies de ácaros fitófagos, dentre elas o ácaro-vermelho, Oligonychus ilicis McGregor, e o ácaro-rajado, Tetranychus urticae Kock. Essas espécies são encontradas juntas, alimentando-se, com maior freqüência, sobre a epiderme adaxial e abaxial das folhas, respectivamente. Neste trabalho estudou-se o padrão de escolha de O. ilicis e T. urticae por sítio de alimentação em plantas de morangueiro. Duas hipóteses foram formuladas: a primeira, que a escolha por sítios de alimentação estaria relacionada à aptidão das espécies; a segunda, que esta escolha seria determinada pela presença do heteroespecífico. Com o objetivo de testar tais hipóteses, avaliou-se a preferência, biologia e sucesso reprodutivo de O. ilicis e T. urticae sobre a face abaxial e adaxial de folhas de morangueiro infestadas ou não pelo heteroespecífico. O. ilicis preferiu permanecer sobre a face adaxial enquanto T. urticae preferiu permanecer sobre a face abaxial de folhas de morangueiro. A preferência pelas faces foliares correlacionou-se com o sucesso reprodutivo das espécies, avaliado pela taxa intrínseca de crescimento populacional (r m). O padrão de escolha não se alterou quando as espécies foram submetidas ao teste de escolha entre as faces foliares previamente infestadas pelo heteroespecífico. É discutida a possibilidade de T. urticae induzir defesas da planta capazes de reduzir a aptidão de O. ilicis e vice-versa. A possibilidade dessas espécies permanecerem juntas sobre plantas de morangueiro aumenta a capacidade de dano à cultura.


Many phytophagous mites can attack strawberry plants, Fragaria x ananassa, among them the southern red mite, Oligonychus ilicis McGregor, and the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. They are found together feeding on the same plant on the upper and underside of the leaves, respectively. Here we studied the choice for feeding sites of O. ilicis and T. urticae on strawberry plants. The first hypothesis tested whether the feeding site choice would be related to the fitness of the species. The second hypothesis dealt whether the feeding site would be determined by the presence of a heterospecific mite. We evaluated the preference, biology and reproductive success of O. ilicis and T. urticae on the under and upper side surface of strawberry leaves infested or not by the heterospecific. O. ilicis preferred to stay on the upper side surface while T. urticae preferred the underside. The preference for the leaf surface correlated with the reproductive success of the species (measured by the intrinsic growth rate). The choice pattern of feeding sites did not alter when the choice test was applied using sites previously infested by heterospecific. Although O. ilicis and T. urticae, apparently, do not interact directly for feeding sites, there is a chance that the first species induces defenses in strawberry plant enabling to reduce the fitness of the second species. The possibility of those species stay together on strawberry plant increases the damage capacity to the culture.
