Determination of damage threshold of cassava green mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on different cassava varieties for pest management
(2014)
Density threshold has been least considered in efforts to control cassava green mite (CGM) of
the Mononychellus species. Nine cassava varieties of varied cyanogenic contents were evaluated for
CGM density threshold. Mite ...
Cassava Variety Tolerance to Spider Mite Attack in Relation to Leaf Cyanide Level
(2013)
Cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz is grown in the tropics as an important staple root crop. The major herbivore pest is cassava green mite (CGM) of the Mononychellus species. The pest mite Mononychellus progresivus Doreste ...
Effect of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus progresivus, on the development and reproduction of the introduced predatory mite, Phytoseiulus longipes (Acari: Tetranychidae; Phytoseiidae), at different temperatures
(© 2012 Systematic & Applied Acarology Society, 2012-11)
The cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus progresivus Doresta allowed for a limited development of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus longipes Evans at three experimented temperatures. When the predators were confined with ...
Typhlodromalus aripode leon (acari: phytoseiidae) development and reproduction on major cassava pests at different temperatures and humidities: an indication of enhanced mite resilience
(2014)
Both prey type and abiotic conditions limit performance of phytoseiid predators. The exotic predatory
mite, Typhlodromalus aripo developed and reproduced when maintained on eggs and active stages of the cassava ...
Management of cassava green mite Mononychellus progresivus (Acari: Tetranychidae) in different agro-ecological zones of Kenya
(2015)
The cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus progresivus Doreste, causes serious leaf damage on cassava
leading to low root yield in the dry savanna regions of Africa. A study to compare effectiveness of the predatory
phytoseiid ...
