Abstract

The cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar) (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a key pest in cassava crops withoutany chemical acaricide registered for your controlusing essential oils as a promising tactic. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of clove essential oil, Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perryfor the management of M. tanajoa. The mites were collected from infested cassava in the municipality of Anadia - AL. Twenty-five arenas were used, and each one consisted of a Petri dish containing a leaf disk of alternative host, Heliconia rostrata (Heliconeaceae), with cotton moistened in water on the edges. The leaf disks were sprayed with four different concentrations of clove oil: 1.5; 2.5; 5.5 and 6.5 μL, in addition to the control (water + 0.05% Tween), with five replicates of each, using the Potter tower. After drying, the discs were inoculated with ten females of M. tanajoa. The mortality of the mites was verified after 24 hours, and the data were analyzed by the statistical program Sisvar version 5.6. The concentrations 2.5; 5.5 and 6.5 μL presented mortality of 84%, 96% and 100%, respectively, differing from the other treatments. The lowest concentration presented low mortality. Thus, the essential oil of clove demonstrated high toxicity in M. tanajoa, and, therefore, appears to be a great ally in the alternative control of the mite.
