Impact of Trellis and Cultivar Selection on Broad Mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus, Establishment in Blackberry
2026
Overview
Broad mite ( Polyphagotarsonemus latus ) is an emerging pest of blackberry ( Rubus subgenus Rubus ) primarily managed with miticides, little work has evaluated cultural control strategies. This study assessed the influence of cultivar and trellis system on broad mite establishment in Arkansas in 2022 and 2023. Plots containing rotating cross-arm (RCA) and T-trellis systems were evaluated; however, meaningful infestations occurred only in 2022. During that outbreak year, blackberry grown on the RCA averaged 1.9 motile mites per leaflet compared with 3.2 on the T-trellis. Cultivar effects were observed, with ‘A2625’ averaging 1.2 motile mites per leaflet compared with 2.7 and 3.2 for ‘Ouachita’ and ‘Osage’, respectively. Weekly monitoring indicated earlier population growth in ‘Osage’, with damaging infestations occurring ∼2 weeks before other cultivars. These findings suggest trellis design and cultivar selection may influence broad mite population dynamics under outbreak conditions and could contribute to integrated pest management programs.
