Biological control of spider mites by the predatory mite Neoseiulus fallacis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in ornamental nursery systems

Creator:: Pratt, Paul D.
Abstract:: We identified and evaluated a phytoseiid predator as a biological control agent of multiple spider mites pests that occur in ornamental nurseries. When comparing species, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) had a wider prey range than Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt), a higher probability of overwintering than Neoseiulus califomicus McGregor and was equally or...

Improvement of biological control agents : laboratory selection for fast larval development in the convergent lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens guerin-Méneville (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Creator:: Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar Ramiro
Abstract:: Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville was selected for rapid development through five generations at four constant temperatures (18, 22, 26, and 30°C). Two levels of selection were used: intense and moderate. Differences in developmental rate, survivorship, live adult weight, aphid consumption, adult longevity, and fecundity were measured for both groups and an...

Characteristics of Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul (Acari: phytoseiidae) as a biological control agent of Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) (Acari: tetranychidae)

Creator:: Horton, Rene N.
Abstract:: The life history, temperature, humidity, and feeding requirements of the phytoseiid predator mite, Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul were tested in the laboratory. Occurance of the mite in the field during different times of the year was investigated as well. Effects of temperature and humidity on egg hatch, the feeding...

Biological control of Tetranychus urticae (Koch) on peppermint by Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) : density relationships, overwintering, habitat manipulation and pesticide effects

Creator:: Morris, Mark Alan, 1954-
Abstract:: Several aspects affecting population trends and overwintering of Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) on peppermint were examined. Neoseiulus fallacis was the most abundant phytoseiid predator mite found in peppermint surveys throughout the western U.S. Results of pesticide exclusion and cage studies showed that N. fallacis controlled Tetranychus urticae (Koch) on peppermint in...

Ecology of the predatory mite, Pergamasus quisquiliarum Canestrini (Acari: Mesostigmata)

Creator:: Groth, Eric M.
Abstract:: Pergamasus quisquiliarum Canestini is a polyphagous predatory mite that has been shown to feed on the economically important arthropod, Scutigerella immaculata Newport (Symphyla: Scutigerellidae), Collembola, Diptera larvae, Enchytraeid worms, and miscellaneous other soil organisms. This study examined the feeding behavior of P. quisquiliarum, the effects of cover cropping and tillage...

Enhancement of biological control with beneficial insectary plantings

Creator:: Colley, Micaela Ruth
Abstract:: Five field experiments were conducted to evaluate the relative attractiveness of potential beneficial insectary plants to aphidophagous hover flies and parasitic Hymenoptera and the effectiveness of interplanting selected flowering plants in a broccoli field to enhance biocontrol of the cabbage aphid and green peach aphid. In 1996 we established a...

Modification of phyllosphere environments to enhance establishment of Gliocladium roseum, an antagonist of Botrytis cinerea

Creator:: Bennett, Robert J. (Robert Joe), 1953-
Abstract:: Radial colony growth of three isolates of Gliocladium roseum and three isolates of Bottytis cinerea were measured on 1/4 strength potato dextrose agar amended with concentrations of NaHCO₃ ranging from 0-2% (w/v). Compared to the control, reductions in colony diameter of the B. cinerea isolates ranged from 60-79% and 73-89%...
