Abstract

INTRODUCTION The use cultivars resistant to arthropod pests is a significant tool used in integrated pest management. Indirectly cultivars on which arthropod show prolonged growth and development may expose the organism to the potential natural enemies resulting in natural control of arthopod population (Sarfraz et al., 2007). In Brazil, little information is available on the host plant resistance to Tetranychus ogmophallos mites, which presents high potential to infest common bean, peanut and soybean plant.

Bonato et al. (2000) verified that T. ogmophallos able to develop on bean and displayed high rates of increase when reared on this plant. In addition, the ability of develop on a wide range host plants, constitutes a factor that raises the status this pest (Bonato et al., 2000). Thus, it is important to analyze the attractiveness and oviposition response of T. ogmophallos on bean genotypes in order to determine the genotypes that are less preferred by mite. In this study we evaluated T. ogmophallos attractiveness and preference oviposition of common bean genotypes.
