J. Agric. Entomol. l(}(3):197-203 (July 1993) ABSTRACT Based on data from apple trees without the presence of any predatory mites, the effect of the pyrethroid lambdacyhalothrin on population density of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is reported. Results show that significantly (P < 0.05) higher numbers of T. urticae were found in pyrethroid·treatcd trees relative to the ...

Scolothrips longicornis Priesner is one of the important predators of tetranychid mites with a wide distribution throughout Iran. Life table and population growth parameters of S. longicornis feeding on two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus turkestani Ugarov & Nikolski were investigated under laboratory condition (26±1oC, 65±5% R.H. and 16L: 8D). To carry of these experiments, S. longicornis col...
