Abstract

Changes of hosts in T. urticae is associated with notorious lost of reproduction potentialities. At 25°C, the fecundity of females which are always reared on Solanum nigram (75.7 eggs) fell to 1.07 eggs when they were reared on Citrus. It is the same for the longevity of females in this mite. The females permanently feeding on Citrus have a longevity of 16 9 days compared with only 9 days in females from Solanum nigrum that were transferred to Citrus. Similar changes operated at 20°C produce the same results The practical consequences of these experiences on the swarming of mites in the field of Citrus were analysed.
