“…They found 28 species of predatory mites from Mangrove vegetation and agri-horticultural crops. Another study made by Kar and Karmakar (2021) reported 3 new species of phytoseiid mite from Sundarban. The present study on the predatory mites occurring on MAPs from Sundarban Biosphere Reserve revealed the occurrence of 41 species from 19 genera, 7 families and 2 orders.…”

A regular survey was conducted in different places of Sundarban Biosphere Reserve (SBR) region of West Bengal on 32 different medicinal and aromatic plants. A total of 41 species of predatory mites belonging to 19 genera, 7 families, under 2 orders were observed during this study. Collection data, distribution and keys are given for all taxonomic categories. Many of the species and habitats reported here are new records. Ecological and behavioral remarks on all the predatory mite species reported from Sundarban Biosphere Reserve are also presented.

“…The knowledge of Indian Phytoseiidae is based on several major contributions by Gupta (2003). Recent studies have raised the total number to 243 species belonging to 21 genera in three subfamilies of Phytoseiidae from India (Karmakar and Gupta, 2014;Pramanik and Karmakar, 2016;Karmakar et al, 2017;Karmakar and Bhowmik, 2018;Kar and Karmakar, 2021;Molla et al, 2021;Bhowmik and Karmakar, 2021). So far, there is no consolidated report of predatory mites from vegetable crops (Lahiri et al, 2004;Karmakar and Gupta, 2011) and Haneef and population followed by Typhlodromips syzygii, Euseius ovalis, Paraphytoseius multidentatus, Neoseiulus longispinosus, Neoseiulus pranadae, Euseius alstoniae, Scapulaseius asiaticus, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) sp.…”

Aim: Methodology: Results: Interpretation: A study was carried out to understand the diversity and community structures of phytoseiid and phytophagous mite fauna associated with vegetable crops in West Bengal aiming for the development of better and ecologically sound mite pest management strategy. Mite samples were collected from different agro-climatic zones of West Bengal and the specimens were brought to the AINP on Agricultural Acarology laboratory, BCKV, Kalyani for mounting on glass slides using modified o Berlese’s medium. The slides were then kept on slide wormer at 35-40 C for 5-7 days to process for observation under a phase contrast microscope. A total of fifteen species of phytoseiid mites were recorded belonging to the genera Amblyseius, Euseius, Paraphytoseius, Typhlodromips, Scapulaseius, Neoseiulus, Phytoseius, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) and Indoseiulus. Amblyseius largoensis was observed as predominant mite species followed by Typhlodromips syzygii occupied 19.71 and 15.05 % of total predatory mite population, respectively. The other predatory mites belonging to the family Tydeidae, Bdellidae, Ascidae, Cunaxidae, Cheyletidae and Stigmaeidae were also recorded during the period of investigation. Predatory mites were observed to predate upon different stages of phytophagous mites, mealy bugs and pupae of whitefly. Concerning the phytophagous mites, Tetranychus urticae, Tetranychus ludeni, Schizotetranychus baltazari, Eutetranychus orientalis, Oligonychus andropogoni, Polyphagotarsonemus latus and Brevipalpus phoenicis were found as destructive mite pests in vegetables. Phytophagous mite is a serious concern for successful vegetables cultivation in West Bengal. Predatory mites were found effective against phytophagous mites and other soft bodied insect and they could be utilized for biological control programme to minimize the use of chemical pesticides.
