DETECCIÓN DE POLYPHAGOTARSONEMUS LATUS Banks SOBRE CAMELIA EN GALICIA

Polyphagotarsonemus latus has a large host range and is widely distributed in subtropical and mild areas Polyphagotarsonemus latus female clarified for identification under the microscope around the world. In summer 2007 it was detected in Galicia on Camellia japonica plants growing in the nursery, producing stunted growth, curling of young and tender leaves (usually to leaf underside) and bronzed leaves on the underside. Since P. latus life cycle is very short, in the nursery, measures were rapidly carried out, isolating affected plant species from healthy plants, and applying acaricides to control mite populations. This mite was not detected again in our region.
