Dominated Spider Species and the Predation Assessment on <i>Apolygus lucorum</i> (Hemiptera: Miridae) in a Tea Plantation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.
