Interaction between Predatory Mite, Amblyseious alstoniae Gupta (Acari:Phytoseiidae) and Yellow Mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks (Acari:Tarsonemidae)
Subscribe/Renew Journal
An experiment was carried out under polyhouse to investigate the interaction between the predatory mite, A. alstoniae and the prey, P. latus. It was found that at 1:10 ratio, A. alstoniae caused maximum reduction of P. latus. The predatory mite preferred to feed more upon eggs as compared to other mobile stages. It was also found that once the population of the prey P. latus was reduced, the population of predatory mite also declined.
