Amblydromalus limonicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) as a biocontrol agent: literature review and new findings [PDF]

Acarologia, 2013
Amblydromalus limonicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was described in 1956 from citrus in California; its distribution range covers North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. It first caught the attention of biocontrol workers in the 1960s as natural enemy of the spider mites Oligonychus punicae and Tetranychus cinnabarinus in avocados and other ...

Acylsugar tomato lines suppress whiteflies and Amblyseius swirskii establishment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 10, Page 745-753, October 2023., 2023
Secondary metabolites such as acylsugars produced by glandular trichomes in tomato, Solanum lycopersicum (Solanaceae), have arthropod resistant properties. We explored the potential of using acylsugar tomato lines with enhanced defense traits (trichomes and acylsugars) in suppression of sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). We

Cold tolerance of biological control agents Amblydromalus limonicus and Iphiseius degenerans [PDF]

Journal of Applied Entomology
AbstractKnowledge about cold tolerance of non‐native biological control agents is critical to avoid permanently establishing them in new temperate areas outside of their native range. The cold tolerance of the predatory mites, Amblydromalus limonicus and Iphiseius degenerans, was investigated in the laboratory to assess their establishment potential in

Spatial-temporal distribution of phytophagous and predatory mites in the canopy of Jatropha curcas L.

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2018
: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the spatial-temporal distribution of phytophagous and predatory mites in the canopy of Jatropha curcas L. Mite richness, diversity, and abundance were determined, and higher values were observed primarily in

Matching commercial thrips predating phytoseids with the highly diversified climatic conditions of different strawberry production systems [PDF]

, 2017
Flower inhabiting thrips (Order: Thysanoptera) are a major threat to fruit quality in strawberry production around the world. As chemical control is often inefficient, alternative control measures are of broad and current interest.

Intraguild aggressiveness between an alien and a native predatory mite [PDF]

, 2020
The predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus, non-native in Europe, can be used legally in several European countries as greenhouse biocontrol agent against thrips species, although this species is also able to feed on whiteflies and gall mites.

Tomato trichomes are deadly hurdles limiting the establishment of Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) [PDF]

, 2021
[EN] Amblyseius swirskii is a predatory mite widely used for the control of very important pest species, such as whiteflies and thrips, in organic farming and conventional agriculture.

Phytoseiid Mites: Trees, Ecology and Conservation

Diversity
The highly variable ’leafscapes’ of plants across the world represent billions of square metres of mite habitat. The phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae), an extremely species-rich group of mostly generalist predators, are providers of ecosystem ...

Biological Control of Echinothrips americanus Morgan (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Sweet Pepper Using the Predatory Thrips Franklinothrips vespiformis Crawford (Thysanoptera: Aeolothripidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 2, Page 274-277, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Echinothrips americanus Morgan (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), also known as poinsettia thrips, has invaded several parts of the world becoming an important pest in many vegetable and ornamental crops. While biological control methods using predatory mites and bugs have been effective against flower‐dwelling thrips, they have shown limited success ...
