摘要: The two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is one of the most serious pests of strawberry worldwide. Understanding the preference of TSSM for particular cultivars of strawberry and performance on them helps identify host-plant resistance to this pest mite. In this study, we tested preference, developmental duration, fecundity and population levels of TSSM on 14 strawberry cultivars. TSSM showed strong preference for the Chinese cultivars of Yanxiang, Baixuegongzhu, and Jingtaoxiang. Development of TSSM on the cultivars varied from 32.32 to 36.82days; it was longest on the cultivars Hongxiutianxiang and Baixuegongzhu, and shortest on Yanxiang, Jingzangxiang, and Darselect as well as on a wild variety (Wuye). TSSM had high fecundity on the cultivars Yanxiang, Taoxun, Hongxiutianxiang, Jingzangxiang, Albion and Baixuegongzhu as well as on Wuye, whereas egg production was lowest on Sweet Charlie, Portola, Akihime, and Benihoppe. After 28days of plant infestation with 10 pairs of adults, the cultivars Yanxiang, Taoxun, Jingzangxiang, Jingtaoxiang, and Baixuegongzhu had the highest number of mites (>1000 per plant), whereas mite numbers on Albion and Camarosa were low. The population size of TSSM was correlated with fecundity, but no correlation was found between other preference/performance measures. Our study suggests that a rapid increase of population size of TSSM on cultivars of strawberry is related to high fecundity, and also that there are substantial differences in preference and performance across cultivars.
