Aculops lycopersici on Solanum nigrum
The mean fecundity of the populations / species was not significantly different P (= 0.055)
( Table 2), but we can note that the highest fecundity for T. (A.) recki collected on M. suaveolens
(1.00 eggs/ female) and the lowest for T. (A.) recki collected on D. stramonium (0.35 eggs/ female). Significant differences were only significant at day 1 P (=0.02) ( Table 4, Figure 3e View Figure 3 ).
The values obtained were much lower than the ones reported for N. cucumeris when fed with A. lycopersici by AlAzzazy et al. (2018) (2.12 eggs/ female/ day), for Euseius concordis (Chant)
by Moraes and Lima (1983) (1.7 eggs/ female/ day), Amblydromalus limonicus Garman & McGregor ( Van Houten et al. 2013a, b) (3.6 eggs/ female/ day) and Amblyseius swirskii AthiasHenriot ( Momen and AbdelKhalek 2008 ; Park et al. 2010 ; Van Houten et al. 2013a, b) (2.00,
1.7 and 2.4 eggs/ female/ day, respectively). Castagnoli et al. (2003) reported a decreasing r m from F1 to F3 generations (0.21 to 0.08) for N. californicus feeding on A. lycopersici . Some preliminary measurements (data not shown) indicate a consumption of 50 eriophyids mites /
day by T. (A.) recki (population from M. suaveolens ). This value is much higher than the one reported by AlAzzizy et al. (2018) for N. cucumeris (consumption ranging from 12.82 to
21.69 A. lycopersici per day).
Considering each predator separately, T. evansi was the less favourable food source.
However, no distinction between the populations/species was observed when the prey was T.
urticae or A. lycopersici . Only, a higher fecundity was observed for N. californicus fed on T.
urticae than on A. lycopersici ( Table 2).
