Abstract Background The geothermal greenhouses in Southern Tunisia are an important axis of agricultural development. This sector faces many abiotic and biotic constraints that could threat its sustainability. Thus, the heated encounter destructive pests such as whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae)...

Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot, 1827) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is an effective and common beneficial species that feeds on many of Tetranychid mites. Although it has been detected in Turkey, there are few studies this predatory species. In study, weekly leaf samples were taken to represent the growing area soilless strawberry greenhouse Akdeniz University 2020 2021. examinations, was determined F....

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is an economically important pest of ornamental plant in Iran. The population abundance and spatial distribution were studied on five Rosa cultivars including Maroussia, Wendela, Elderado, Wenedetta, and Hot Lady during two growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 in greenhouse. The k parameter, index of dispersion, Lloyd’s m...

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, usually lives in kin groups under common webs. Because only the first mating results in fertilisation in female T. urticae, adult males guard quiescent deutonymph females, those at the stage immediately before maturation, to ensure paternity. Therefore, the cost of precopulatory guarding time seems considerable for males. Moreover, the fitness i...

BACKGROUND The spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is the major strawberry pest in Brazil. The main strategies for its control comprise synthetic acaricides and predatory mites. The recent register of a commercial formula of azadirachtin (Azamax(®) 12 g L(-1) ) can be viable for control of T. urticae. In this work, the effects of azadirachtin on T. urticae and its compatibility with predatory mit...
