  • Enhancing pest mite biological control by Typhlodromus pyri (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Pacific Northwest vineyards

    Creator:
    Gadino, Angela Noelle
    Abstract:
    The predatory mite Typhlodromus pyri (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is the predominant species in cool climate Pacific Northwest vineyards and a principal predator of pest mites including the grapevine rust mite Calepitrimerus vitis (Acari: Eriophyidae). In recent years vineyards have been experiencing C. vitis population outbreaks leading to increased economic damage from...
