Alternative food sources could sustain predator populations by influencing their performances including predation, development, and reproduction in periods of shortage or scarcity prey under laboratory fields conditions. The aim this study was to explore suitability cattail pollen (Typha orientalis) as an alternative source for different stages Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae...
