Biology and predation of the Japanese strain of Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

TL;DR: The life history characteristics and predation of the Japanese Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) strain on the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, were studied in the laboratory under 60–70% RH and 16L: 8D conditions to assess the effectiveness of theJapanese N. califORNicus strain as an important biological control agent against T. uricae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytoseiid mites under environmental stress

TL;DR: The effects of environmental stressors on various biological and ecological aspects of phytoseiid mites, such as development, survival, reproduction, and predation, and the mites’ adaptation strategies to these stressors are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of contact, oral and persistent toxicity of selected pesticides on Cotesia plutellae (Hym., Braconidae), a potential parasitoid of Plutella xylostella (Lep., Plutellidae)

TL;DR: Effect of contact, oral and persistent toxicity of field doses of selected pesticides on immature and mature stages of this useful wasp were determined and beneficial performance of wasps seems to be adversely affected as host parasitism was recorded as being significantly different.
Journal ArticleDOI

Night-interrupting light inhibits diapause induction in the Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida (Acari: Tetranychidae).

TL;DR: The results suggest that the longest consecutive dark period and the dose of night-interrupting light should both be considered when a lighting-based physical control is applied to inhibit diapause induction and consequent overwintering of T. kanzawai in commercial agricultural fields.
