Biological Control, 2021 Abstract Plant pollen is an important alternative food for generalist phytoseiid mites ensuring survival and supporting population build-up during periods of prey scarcity. However, in the short term predator efficacy can be negatively affected by pollen provisioning as a consequence of predator satiation or when pollen is preferred over prey.

Performance of the predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus on factitious foods
BioControl, 2013 Amblydromalus limonicus Garman & McGregor (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a generalist predatory mite with economic potential to control thrips and whiteflies in protected cultivation. We tested the development and reproduction of A. limonicus on three food sources with potential for use in laboratory production or to support its populations in a crop: fresh ...

BioControl, 2015 Plant pollen is considered a food of high nutritional quality for several natural enemies, such as predatory insects and mites. In periods of prey absence or scarcity, omnivorous predators often exploit plant pollen as an alternative food. In the case of predators feeding on mixed diets, pollen may be consumed supplementary to the main prey.

First record ofAmblydromalus limonicus(Acari: Phytoseiidae) from Spain
International Journal of Acarology, 2012 High populations of Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor, 1956) were recorded for the first time in northeast Spain on cultivated plants belonging to two species, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and apple tree (Malus x domestica Borkh.), and on the weeds Amaranthus retroflexus L. and Parietaria officinalis L.

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2018 Habitat dispersion, diet and density can influence the per capita population growth of predators, and dispersed habitat can provide a spatial refuge that reduces the possibility of cannibalism among predators, thereby increasing their realized population growth rate.

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2020 The chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, is a recently established pest in the USA and poses a serious risk to many economically important ornamental and food crops. In this study the biological control potential of the phytoseiid mites Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman and McGregor) and Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) was compared by ...

Pest Management Science, 2018 AbstractBACKGROUNDManagement of tomato potato psyllid (TPP; Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc)) predominantly relies on insecticides. However, biological control agents (BCAs) could provide viable alternatives to suppress TPP populations. In this laboratory experiment, we assessed the predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor) as a BCA ...
