| typhlodromus pyri and euseius finlandicus (acari: phytoseiidae) as potential biocontrol agents against spider mites (acari: tetranychidae) inhabiting willows: laboratory studies on predator development and reproduction on four diets. | typhlodromus pyri scheuten and euseius finlandicus (oudemans) are important predators of phytophagous mites. the present laboratory study aimed to determine whether both species can develop and reach maturity feeding on spider mites occurring on willows, i.e., schizotetranychus schizopus (zacher), schizotetranychus garmani pritchard & baker, and tetranychus urticae koch, and on brassica napus l. pollen. the predators' development, reproduction and demographic parameters were significantly affect ... | 2016 | 26530991 |
