The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is an economically important pest of ornamental plant in Iran. The population abundance and spatial distribution were studied on five Rosa cultivars including Maroussia, Wendela, Elderado, Wenedetta, and Hot Lady during two growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 in greenhouse. The k parameter, index of dispersion, Lloyd’s m...

medicinal plants were used from past to present. different small arthropods such as acari were found on these plants. therefore a study on the acari fauna associated with some medicinal plants (family: asteraceae) in hamedan region was carried out during 2008–2009. in this survey, 23 species belonging 18 genera from 15 different families of the subclass acari were collected and identified. two ...

although host plant resistance is the healthiest, most reliable and cheapest way of pest control, to achieve a successful integrated pest management, pest-resistant plant varieties should be compatibity with the biological control agents. throughout the present study, the performance of the predatory mite, phytoseiulus persimilis، on four common bean cultivars (naz, khomein, akhtar and g11867) ...

two spotted spider mite (tssm), tetranychus urticae koch, is an important pests on bean in markazi province (center of iran). to evaluate the bioacaricidal activity of extracts of three essential oils of thyme (thymus vulgaris), lavender (lavandula officinalis)  and eucalyptus (eucalyptus camaldulensis) against t. urticae on cherry bean (vigna unguiculta subsp. sinensis), five different concent...

the entomopathogenic fungus beauveria bassiana (bals.) vuill. is one of the important arthropod pathogens that can play an important role in the regulation of mite populations in agricultural ecosystems. in this study, the combined effect of a native isolate of fungus b. bassiana (eut105) and ether-extract of plant, ginkgo biloba was evaluated against the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus ur...

In this study, which was conducted to determine predation potential of Typhlodromus recki Wainstein, 1958 (Acari: Phytoseiidae) at Ege University, Faculty Agriculture, Department Plant Protection in 2018-2019. Functional response and egg production the predatory mite, T. fed on different biological stages (egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph adult male) two-spotted spider mite (green form), Tetr...

The prey preference of polyphagous predators plays an important role in suppressing different species of pest insects. In this study the prey preference of the predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was examined between nymphs of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) and first instar larvae of the western flower thrips, F...
