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...

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...

Ambulatory and aerial dispersal among specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites

Creator:: Jung, Chuleui
Abstract:: Specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites are widely used for biological control of spider mites. Understanding dispersal attributes of these mites is important to implementing more stable, cost-efficient integrated pest management. In this regard, we studied dispersal of phytoseiid mites from a local ambulatory phase of movement within a prey patch...

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...

Prey-stage preference in phytoseiid mites

Creator:: Blackwood, J. Scott
Abstract:: Knowledge of how individual organisms behave in their environment can provide a greater understanding of population dynamics. In a predator-prey system, the choices made by predators when foraging for prey are important aspects of behavior. Particularly in the case of a stage-structured prey population, how the predator selects prey stages...

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...

Biological control of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) on grape emphasizing regional aspects

Creator:: Prischmann, Deirdre A.
Abstract:: During summer of 1998 and 1999, 34 and 10 vineyard sites, respectively, were sampled to assess spider mite pests and associated biological control by phytoseiid mites. Vineyards studied spanned five major valleys in western Oregon where grape production occurs. Leaf samples were taken from site perimeters and centers. One leaf...

Within and between plant dispersal and distributions of adult females and immatures of Neoseiulus californicus and N. fallacis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in bean and apple plant systems

Creator:: Pratt, Paul D. (Paul David), 1970-
Abstract:: Intra- and interplant movement and dispersal of the predator mites Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) and Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) were studied on both lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) and apple (Malus pumila Miller) branch plant systems that were seeded with excess numbers of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. Individuals of either...

Comparative emigration, immigration, and colonization of apple by Metaseiulus occidentalis Nesbitt and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten (Acarina: Phytoseiidae)

Creator:: Dunley, John E.
Abstract:: Dispersal and colonization of young potted apple trees by the spider-mite predators Metaseiulus occidentalis Nesbitt and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten were studied in the Hood River Valley of Oregon. Experimental mini-orchards of 10 four-year old potted apple trees were established at distances of 0, 10, and 100 m downwind from commercial...
