the spider mite, t. turkestani, is considered as one of the most important polyphagous pests of many crops. its reproductive ability, developmental time, preimaginal mortality and reproduction rate were determined on kidney bean at 20, 25 and 30°c,70±5% rh and 16l:8d. female longevity and immature developmental period (6.74 and 5.8 days, respectively) were shorter at 30°c than at 20 and 25°c. t...
