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

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 ...

The stealthiness of predatory mites as spider mite biological control agents [PDF]
Biological Control, 2019 Abstract Adult spider mite females that are aware of predatory mites can reduce predation by dispersing from patches invaded by predators or by shifting their oviposition site onto webs where eggs are predated less than on leaf surfaces. Therefore, the stealthiness of predatory mites stalking spider mite females should largely determine the success ...

A Fundamental Step in IPM on Grapevine: Evaluating the Side Effects of Pesticides on Predatory Mites [PDF]
Insects, 2015 Knowledge on side effects of pesticides on non-target beneficial arthropods is a key point in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Here we present the results of four experiments conducted in vineyards where the effects of chlorpyrifos, thiamethoxam ...

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two-spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis). [PDF]
Pest Manag SciLight‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Side effects of abamectin and hexythiazox on seven predatory mites
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Use of acaricides has become a common practice to control pests all over the world including Saudi Arabia. In spite of killing the targeted pests, such insecticides also effect growth of predatory mites.
