Survey was conducted in mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh during 2011-2012 to study the mite diversity in 16 different vegetables and ornamental crops. These ecosystems were surveyed to collect the prey and predatory mites at different locations. A total of 32 species in 15 genera and 7 families were observed during this study, out of which 6 species were of phytophagous mites belonging to 2 genera and 2 families, whereas 26 species were of the predatory mites belonging to 13 genera and 5 families. Among phytophagous mites, three species viz. Tetranychus urticae Koch, T. ludeni Zacher, T. hypogeae Gupta were most commonly found and recorded on different crops. Among predatory mites, 4 genera viz. Amblyseius, Euseius, Neoseiulus and Amblydromella were most common. Maximum numbers of predatory mite species were recorded on rose, cucumber and brinjal. Five genera of predatory mites viz. Paraphytoseius, Pennaceius, Typhlodromips, Typhlodromalus and Lasioseius were the new record in the state.Keywords

Study was conducted on carnation (var. Master) during 2013 and 2014 under polyhouse. Infestation of Tetranychus ludeni Zacher was recorded. One species of predatory thrips viz. Scolothrips sexmaculatus Pergande was recorded in association with T. ludeni. Infestation of T. ludeni remained active throughout the year. Maximum population was recorded during June in both the years. Population was 13.2±1.24 and 14.4±1.57 mites/sample. Activity of S. sexmaculatus was recorded from June to August. Both species were recorded for the first time on this crop from North India. Population of T. ludeni and S. sexmaculatus was positively correlated with temperature whereas negative correlation with relative humidity. This study will be useful in bio control of phytophagous mites in IPM programme.Keywords

The study was carried out during 2013 and 2014 on tomato (var. Solan gola) in open field. Infestation of Tetranychus ludeni Zacher was recorded. Predatory mite viz. Neoseiulus sp. nr. neoghanii was observed in association with T. ludeni. Maximum population of T. ludeni was recorded during June month both years with population 2.6±0.58 (2013) & 2.3±0.42 (2014) mites/leaf. N. sp. nr. neoghanii was observed in June and July month. Population was 0.2±0.2 mites/leaf both years. Populations of T. ludeni and N. sp. nr. neoghanii showed a positive correlation with average temperature and negatively correlated with relative humidity. Occurrence of these species on this crop was the first report from this region. The study will be useful in bio control programme in near future.Keywords
