the stage specific functional response of the acarophagous ladybird beetle stethorus gilvifrons mulsant to varying densities of citrus brown mite eutetranychus orientalis (klein) eggs was examined in a simplified castor bean leaf arena under laboratory conditions. all stages of s. gilvifrons were individually isolated for 24 hours with different prey densities at 30âºc and a photoperiod of 14: ...

This preliminary communication presents the first record of predaceous thrips Scolothrips longicornis Priesner, 1926 (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Slovakia. As a well known predator of numerous spider mites, e.g. Tetranychus urticae or Eutetranychus orientalis it has been considered as a suitable biological control agent recently. Tetranychids mites are harmful agriculture pests, causing damage ...

We report the first occurrence in Africa, Burkina Faso, of an exotic spider mite, Tetranychus truncatus, including new host records. Due to morphological variation specimens we observed, used molecular and approaches obtain a reliable identification this alien species. Sampling events also disclosed two mite records for Eutetranychus orientalis urticae several plant

abstract during 2008-2009 species composition of injurious mites associated with common broad leaf trees and ornamental shrubs in green spaces of mashhad region was surveyed. as result, 13 mite species belonging to 10 genera and 3 families, eriophyidae, tetranychidae and tenuipalpidae were collected and identified. in bellow list, the new records for razavi khorasan and iran are indicated with ...

Abstract Many studies have emphasized the importance of interspecific competition in shaping natural ecosystem communities. In contrast, few investigations explored role agricultural environments after arrival an invasive pest species. We evaluated ecological impact produced by Texas citrus mite, Eutetranychus banksi (McGregor), on resident spider mites Panonychus citri (McGregor) and orientali...

functional response of stethorus gilvifrons mulsant to varying densities of different developmental stages of eutetranychus orientalis klein was examined in a simplified castor bean leaf disc arena under the laboratory condition. one s.gilvifrons female was isolated individually for 24h with different prey densities (4,8,12,24,48,96,120) at 300c and photoperiod of 14:10 (l:d) h. the number of p...
