Abstract

The pink citrus rust mite, Aculops pelekassi (Keifer) (Acari: Eriophyoidea), is an important pest in the citrus orchards of Jeju, Korea. This study was performed to investigate the seasonal population abundance of A. pelekassi, and the effects of humidity and citrus leaf age on the multiplication of this pest. Relative humidity (RH) significantly affected the longevity and fecundity of A. pelekassi. Longevity was 7.5, 14.5 and 14.6 d and fecundity was 5.4, 21.5, and 27.1 eggs at 33, 75 and 84% RH, respectively. The leaf age of citrus significantly affected the multiplication of A. pelekassi. The population abundance on 40 day-old leaves was much higher more than 3 times that on 10-day old leaves at 4 weeks after introduction. Overwintered A. pelekassi adults between the bud scales of the citrus trees became active in late April; they were found on newly emerged leaves, followed by their settlement on young fruits in mid-June. The population levels of A. pelekassi peaked on the leaves in late June to July, and on the fruits in early August. The results obtained in this study should be useful for the control of A. pelekassi in citrus orchards in Jeju.

귤녹응애(Aculops pelekassi (Keifer))는 제주감귤의 중요한 해충이다. 본 연구는 귤녹응애의 연간 발생소장을 구명하고자 수행하였으며, 습도와 잎의 연령이 밀도증식에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 상대습도는 통계적으로 유의하게 귤녹응애 성충의 수명 및 산란에 영향을 주었다. 상대습도 33, 75, 84%에서 수명은 각각 7.5, 14.5, 14.6일 이었고, 산란수는 5.4, 21.5, 27.1개 이었다. 감귤 잎의 연령에 따라 귤녹응애의 증식정도는 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 연령이 40일된 잎에서는 귤녹응애 밀도증식이 가장 높았으며, 4주 후에는 10일된 잎에서 증식된 것과 비교하여 3배 이상 높았다. 눈 인편 틈에서 월동한 귤녹응애 성충은 4월 하순부터 활동을 시작하여 5월 중순경부터 봄에 발아하여 전개되는 잎(봄 잎)에서 발생하기 시작하였고, 6월 중순에는 과실에서 발생이 시작되었다. 잎에서 발생소장은 6월 하순에서 7월 발생최성기를 보였고, 과실에서는 8월 상순 발생 최성기를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 감귤원에서 귤녹응애 방제에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
