Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of single and combination treatments of Phytoseiulus persimilis, Neoseiulus californicus, and Acramite (bifenazate) for control of twospotted spider mites in strawberries
TL;DR: Findings indicate that all three combination treatments are promising options for TSSM control in strawberries for growers in northern Florida and other strawberry producing areas of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
The residual and direct effects of reduced-risk and conventional miticides on twospotted spider mites, tetranychus urticae (acari: tetranychidae) and predatory mites (acari: phytoseiidae)
TL;DR: Acramite® was the most effective acaricide in reducing TSSM populations in both the laboratory and greenhouse experiments and there appeared to be more predatory mites on the Vendex®-treated plants than on the Acramite‐treated plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Predatory Mites and Acramite for Control of Twospotted Spider Mites in Strawberries in North Central Florida
Elena M. Rhodes,Oscar E. Liburd +1 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that N. californicus releases and properly timed Acramite applications are promising options for twospotted spider mite control in strawberries for growers in north Florida and other areas of the southeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Based on the metrics in this study, the yeast and sugar-based attractants were the most effective lures, and further work is needed to improve early season monitoring, elucidate the effects of physiological status on bait attraction, and understand how abiotic factors influence bait attraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining the spatial distribution of flower thrips in southern highbush blueberries by utilizing geostatistical methods.
TL;DR: Two commonly used interpolation methods, inverse distance weighting (IDW) and ordinary kriging (OK), were compared and produced maps with similar accuracy in both years, which indicates that thrips spatial distribution patterns, including “hot spots,” can be modeled using either interpolation method.
