| Summary: | Amblyseius sp. was found as a natural enemy of spider mites. Amblyseius can adjust to live together with other mite predators in the development of spider mites. When conditions are favorable for the proper flow between source plants and protected plants, weeds and hedges can be of "natural ecological protection and potential sources" for phytoseiid species populations. Host species greatly affect predator performance. Predator activity increases significantly at higher temperatures. The level of predation is also affected by irradiation. There are two phytoseiid mites that have the ability to prey on A. fockeui even though the ability of A. sojaensis is somewhat lower than that of A. barkeri (Hughes). A. californicus together with a complex of indigenous predacious mites, kept Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) density below economic damaging levels on time fruits. |
