- Intervention effect Intercropping cassava with maize had no significant effect on M. tanajoa populations during the intercropping, dry and postdry seasons.
- Intervention effect The acaricide spray reduced M. tanajoa densities by 50% relative to those of the predator and the control (no predator and no spray) treatments.
- Intervention effect The exotic phytoseiid Amblyseius manihoti reduced M. tanajoa densities by 20% below the control treatment by the end of the experiment.
- Association Cultivar Agric supported 2-3 times more mites per leaf than cultivar TMS 30572 on cassava.
- Recommendation A pest management strategy combining resistant cultivars and an efficient exotic predator is suggested to control M. tanajoa on cassava.
