Effects of prey mite species on life history of the phytoseiid predators Typhlodromalus manihoti and Typhlodromalus aripo

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2003
The effects of prey mite suitability on several demographic characteristics of phytoseiid predators and the relationship of these effects to the potential of phytoseiid predators to control herbivorous mite populations are well documented. Evidence has also accumulated in the last 20 years demonstrating that phytoseiid predators utilize herbivorous ...

Interactions in an acarine predator guild: impact on Typhlodromalus aripo abundance and biological control of cassava green mite in Benin, West Africa

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2003
To determine the impact of an acarine predator guild on the abundance of a shared herbivorous prey and its principal exotic predator, a series of surveys were conducted in ca. 200 cassava fields in swamp and non-swamp areas in southwestern Benin, West Africa.

Living at the threshold: Where does the neotropical phytoseiid mite Typhlodromalus aripo survive the dry season? [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2007
The establishment of the neotropical predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo in sub-Saharan Africa has resulted in broadly successful biological control of the cassava green mite Mononychellus tanajoa throughout the cassava belt of Africa. In some mid-altitude areas and drier lowland savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa, which are characterized by cool or hot ...

Effects of the entomopathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae and the predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo on cassava green mite densities: screenhouse experiments

BioControl, 2013
To improve biocontrol of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa, a series of screenhouse experiments were conducted on cassava to determine the effects of single and combined releases of the predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo and the entomopathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae on the suppression of M. tanajoa.

Within-Plant Migration of the Predatory Mite Typhlodromalus aripo from the Apex to the Leaves of Cassava: Response to Day–Night Cycle, Prey Location and Prey Density [PDF]

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2008
Under attack by herbivores, plants produce a blend of "herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPV)" that help natural enemies of herbivores locating their prey, thereby helping plants to reduce damage from herbivory. The amount of HIPV emitted by plants increases with herbivore density and is positively correlated with the intensity of the olfactory ...

Native phytoseiid mites as indicators of non-target effects of the introduction of Typhlodromalus aripo for the biological control of cassava green mite in Africa

Biological Control, 2007
Abstract The need to evaluate non-target effects of classical biological control of arthropod pests has received considerable attention in recent years. We determined with repeated field surveys the changes in abundance and distribution of the phytoseiid mite fauna in cassava fields resulting from the introduction of the neotropical phytoseiid ...
