Abstract

The aim of our examinations was to show the effect of temperature on the appearence of tomato - russet mite (Aculops licopersici M. ) in summer - autumn crop of tomato production and the damages that cause. The examination were conductet in greenhouses with area of 0,1 - 0,5 ha in the areas of the villages Kuklis, Prosenikovo, Piperovo and Monospitovo. Control was made in the period from July till October in interval of ten days. Leaves from ten tomato plants were collected and the number of adult tomato - russet miteswas counted. The damages estimated by occupation of the leaves with tomato-russet mite (Aculop licopersici M.) was not noticed. It could be said that high temperatures and high relative humidity of the air in the greenhouses are one of the main reasons for the mass appearance of the mite. The other reason to mention is not on time treating with acaricides by the farmers, because of the stagnation of the price of the tomatoes on the market.
