The two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is an important polyphagous pest worldwide. It is able to adapt to a wide variety of environments and has a high reproduction rate. In practice, farmers try to reduce losses by using synthetic acaricides. However, frequent and inadequate applications of acaricides have made this mite resistant to many active ingredients, creating the need to search for alternative control strategies. The aim of this research was to identify and to evaluate an indigenous strain of a fungus, which eliminated a T. urticae colony in a greenhouse. The isolated fungus was identified through a morphological and molecular characterization as Cladosporium cladosporioides. Thereafter, the mites were treated with five concentrations of C. cladosporioides conidia (2x104, 2x105, 2x106, 2x107, and 2x108 conidia ml-1) and a positive control (commercial Beauveria bassiana strain, 1x106 conidia ml-1). After 10 d, all treatments achieved at least 50% control; the concentrations 2x107 and 2x108 spores ml-1 controlled 73.3% and 81.7%, respectively, surpassing the commercial strain slightly (72.3%). TL50 ranged between 5 (2x108 spores ml-1) and 8 (2x104 spores ml-1) d, and LC50 was 1.95x106. The possible acaricidal effect of this strain on these mites is discussed.
El ácaro bimaculado Tetranychus urticae es una plaga polífaga importante a nivel mundial. Es capaz de adaptarse a una amplia variedad de entornos y tiene una alta tasa de reproducción. En la práctica, los agricultores intentan reducir las pérdidas utilizando acaricidas sintéticos. Sin embargo, las aplicaciones frecuentes e inadecuadas de acaricidas han hecho que este ácaro sea resistente a muchos ingredientes activos, lo que genera la necesidad de buscar estrategias de control alternativas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar y evaluar una cepa nativa de un hongo, que erradicó una colonia de T. urticae en el invernadero. Se identificó el hongo aislado mediante caracterización morfológica y molecular como Cladosporium cladosporioides. Posteriormente, los ácaros se trataron con cinco concentraciones de conidias de C. cladosporioides (2x104, 2x105, 2x106, 2x107 y 2x108 conidias ml-1) y un control positivo (cepa comercial de Beauveria bassiana, 1x106 conidias ml-1). Después de 10 d, todos los tratamientos lograron un control de al menos el 50%; las concentraciones de 2x107 y 2x108 esporas ml-1 controlaron 73,3% y 81,7%, respectivamente, superando levemente la cepa comercial (72,3%). El TL50 varió entre 5 (2x108 esporas ml-1) y 8 (2x104 esporas ml-1) d y la LC50 fue de 1,95x106. Se discute el posible efecto acaricida de esta cepa para controlar ácaros.
