Abstract

Twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, populations on June-bearing strawberries, Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ‘Totem,’ declined rapidly in early summer in western Washington in a manner similar to that observed on strawberry cultivars grown in other locations. A mite population decline also occurred on greenhouse-grown plants maintained in liquid culture. With these plants, nitrogen supply and sampling date had highly significant effects on leaf nitrogen content, but only sampling date had a detectable effect on spider mite numbers. Heavy infestation of mites on greenhouse-grown strawberry plants rendered newly formed and noninfested leaves on these plants less susceptible to future mite attack than leaves on plants that had been kept free of mites. This suggests that induced resistance may be a factor in fluctuation of spider mite populations on strawberry.
