| prey consumption rates and compatibility with pesticides of four predatory mites from the family phytoseiidae attacking thrips palmi karny (thysanoptera: thripidae). | predatory mites (amblyseius swirskii athias-henriot, typhlodromips montdorensis schicha, neoseiulus cucumeris (oudemans) and iphiseius degenerans berlese) were investigated for their potential to act as control agents for thrips palmi karny. prey consumption rates and compatibility with pesticides were assessed. | 2012 | 22517790 |
| an evaluation of three predatory mite species for the control of greenhouse whitefly (trialeurodes vaporariorum). | within integrated pest control programmes, the use of high mite inoculations to control hot spots of whitefly is desirable for many growers. in this experiment, two species of predatory mites established as commercial biological control agents, typhlodromips montdorensis and amblyseius swirskii (acari: phytoseiidae), were compared with another, more recently introduced species, amblydromalus limonicus, for their ability to control dense populations of greenhouse whitefly (trialeurodes vaporarior ... | 2014 | 24706366 |
| intraguild predation and feeding preferences in three species of phytoseiid mite used for biological control. | the ecological impact of introduced biological control agents on native species of arthropods is a matter of considerable debate. this study investigated the ability of the non-native predatory mite neoseiulus californicus to feed on the native typhlodromus pyri and vice versa, as both species now co-occur in uk orchards. typhlodromips montdorensis is a candidate for introduction into the uk as a glasshouse biological control agent. the ability of t. montdorensis to feed on the widely used n. ca ... | 2005 | 16180071 |
| compatibility of spinosad with predaceous mites (acari) used to control frankliniella occidentalis (pergande) (thysanoptera: thripidae). | spinosad is a biopesticide widely used for control of frankliniella occidentalis (pergande). it is reported to be non-toxic to several predatory mite species used for the biological control of thrips. predatory mites typhlodromips montdorensis (schicha), neoseiulus cucumeris (oudemans) and hypoaspis miles (berlese) have been used for control of f. occidentalis. this study investigated the impact of direct and residual toxicity of spinosad on f. occidentalis and predatory mites. the repellency of ... | 2011 | 21452165 |
