Evaluation of the Fosfina for the control of Carpoglyphus lactis (L.) (Astigmata: Carpoglyphidae) in raw sugar to bulk
Main Article Content
Abstract
From the acariosis alert in bulk raw sugar imported from Cuba by R. P. China, populations of Carpoglyphus lactis have been detected in various samples and sites in the country. The objective of the work was to determine the effectiveness of Phosphine (PH3), for the control of the mite. Stainless steel containers were used, the C. lactis infestation was carried out directly and in biotrampas, at 0, 15, 30 and 45 cm deep. Two variants were mounted one treated with PH3 to 5 tabletas • m-3 and a control. The concentration of PH3 was measured at 0 cm, 20 cm and 40 cm and the gas return (UNIPHOS 250 pm and UNIPHOS 350). Samples of 5 g and 1 kg of sugar were taken to determine the number of mites and PH3 residues. The effectiveness was determined by Abbott. A variance and bifactorial analysis was performed, with Tukey significance test or Kruskal-Wallis test with two-to-two Mann Whitney U comparisons and linear regression to define relationship between time and concentration (p = 0,01). PH3 concentrations were similar at all depth levels, always above 300 ppm. No residues were detected. The effectiveness against C. lactis was 93.31 ± 1.15 %, 8 days after treatment, similar in sugar and bio-traps. The largest population of C. lactis was recorded in the first superficial centimeters (0 -15 cm), an important indicator for the implementation of sugar sampling systems.
