CHILDERS Texas AgriLife Extension and Texas A&M University, 2401 East Highway 83, Weslaco, TX, 78596; E-mail: [email protected] 2 University Of Florida, Citrus Research and Education Center, 700 Experiment Station Rd., Lake Alfred, FL 33850. * In: Moraes, G.J. de & Proctor, H. (eds) Acarology XIII: Proceedings of the International Congress. Zoosymposia, 6, 1–304. Abstract Damages caused by pests to leaves can indirectly affect populations of other associated arthropods. The relative abun - dance of mites was compared across young healthy leaves, mature healthy leaves and mature leaves damaged by the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, on grapefruit in Florida and Texas. The spider mite Eotetranychus sex - maculatus (Riley) (Tetranychidae) was significantly more abundant on mined leaves in Florida, whereas in Texas tetranychids were found sporadically. Predaceous phytoseiid mites (Phytoseiidae) were significantly more abundant on mature mined leaves than on mature leaves without mines. Iphiseiodes quadripilis (Banks) (n= 139), Typhlodromalus peregrinus (Muma) (n= 122) and Euseius mesembrinus (Dean) (n= 18) were the most abundant phy - toseiids in Florida; E. mesembrinus was the dominant species in Texas [>90% of identified specimens (n=13)]. Although relatively high numbers of predaceous stigmaeid mites (Stigmaeidae) were found in some occasions in Florida, they had a patchy distribution, resulting in no significant differences between mined and unmined leaf types in most sampling dates.

From these specimens, 37 known species belonging to 3 subfamilies were Navsari 396450, Gujarat, India identified. Out of all 37 species proportion of Amblyseius longispinosus (Evans) specimens was the highest (18.8%) followed by Amblyseius alstoniae Gupta (14.8%) and Amblyseius finlandicus (Oudemans) (13.2%). Among different agro-ecosystems, fruit crops supported maximum numbers of species (22 species) as compared to field crops (11 species), vegetable crops (9 species), ornamental crops (9 species), narrow and broad leaf weeds (8 species) while, no phytoseiid species were recorded on wild vegetations and in leaf litter. Total 11 species were recorded from field crops, 9 species from vegetable crops, 22 species from fruit crops, 3 species from weeds and 6 species from ornamentals. Maximum numbers of species were recorded during February-March and May-June months during the survey period.

  • (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in the UK
    Establishment potential of non-native glasshouse biological control agents, with emphasis on Typhlodromips montdorensis (Schicha) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in the UK by Ian Stuart Hatherly A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Biosciences The University of Birmingham September 2004 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Typhlodromips montdorensis is a non-native predatory mite used for control of red spider mite and thrips, but is not yet licensed for use in the UK. Current legislation requires that non-native glasshouse biological control agents may not be introduced into the UK without a risk assessment of establishment potential outside of the glasshouse environment. This work focuses on the application of a recently developed protocol to assess the establishment potential of T. montdorensis in the UK. Further, the use of alternative prey outside the glasshouse by, Macrolophus caliginosus is examined, and interactions between Neoseiulus californicus, Typhlodromus pyri and T. montdorensis are investigated. Laboratory results demonstrate that T. montdorensis has a developmental threshold of 10.7°C, lacks cold tolerance and is unable to enter diapause when tested under two different regimes.

ABSTRACT Amblyseius swirskii and Phytoseiulus longipes are targeted as biological control agents for the horticultural pest Tetranychus urticae. This study applies a standardised protocol to evaluate the risk of establishment of introduced species and investigates temperature related behavioural thresholds for all three species. Laboratory results demonstrate a low level of cold tolerance in A. swirskii and no diapause. Field studies recorded 100% mortality within two weeks of outdoor winter exposure. Amblyseius swirskii has a higher activity threshold temperature than it’s target prey T. urticae. Amblyseius swirskii lacks cold tolerance and is unlikely to establish outdoors and thus can be considered a ‘safe candidate’ for release. Laboratory results demonstrate that P. longipes can not diapause yet is more cold tolerant than A.
