Commercial Availability of Predatory Mites [PDF]
EDIS, 2005 Predatory mites such as Neoseiulus californicus McGregor (Fig. 1) and Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Fig. 2) feed on important fruits and ornamental pests such as the twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch), broad mite ...

Phytophagous and predatory mites in slovenia
Acarologia, 2013 A chronology and review of previous publications on the occurrence and description of plant-inhabiting mites in Slovenia is presented. The list of mites recorded in Slovenia includes six species of Tetranychidae, which were first recorded by Janezic in 1951 and 1975.

In search of artificial domatia for predatory mites [PDF]
Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2018 Banker plants can enhance biological pest control by providing both floral resources and appropriate oviposition sites, e.g. through acarodomatia, to predator species. The use of materials mimicking domatia i.e. artificial domatia may be an economically favourable alternative to the use of banker plants bearing domatia. The aim of the present study was

Minimal Pruning and Reduced Plant Protection Promote Predatory Mites in Grapevine
Insects, 2017 Improving natural pest control by promoting high densities of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is an effective way to prevent damage by pest mites (e.g., Eriophyidae, Tetranychidae) and other arthropod taxa that can cause serious damage to vineyards.

Molecular identification of predatory mites
, 2009 An army of different predatory mites are at the front line of biological pest control. They all seem to share an indentical appearance, but they differ mutually in biological characters and functionality. Dutch Research Institute PPO Lisse has created a DNA fingerprint of the various species of predatory mites currently deployed in greenhouse ...

Predatory mites avoid ovipositing near counterattacking prey
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2001 Attacking prey is not without risk; predators may endure counterattack by the prey. Here, we study the oviposition behaviour of a predatory mite (Iphiseius degenerans) in relation to its prey, the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). This thrips is capable of killing the eggs of the predator.

Comparison of thread-cutting behaviour in three specialist predatory mites to cope with complex webs of Tetranychus spider mites [PDF]
, 2009 Anti-predator defenses provided by complex webs of Tetranychus mites can severely impede the performance of generalist predatory mites, whereas this may not be true for specialist predatory mites.
