“…In each bed, ten pits (1 0.75 0.5 m) were made, and each pit was filled with litter (200 g) collected after fauna extraction. Five commonly occurring oribatid species (out of the total 166 species collected during the study), namely Hoplophorella calotropica (Haq and Xavier 2005), Meristacarus wynadensis (Haq and Clement 1995), Haplacarus porosus (Haq and Clement 1995), Lohmannia sp. and Drymobatoides malabaricus (Clement and Haq 1982), were chosen from stock cultures maintained in the laboratory.…”

“…Colony replenishment was possible only on preferred food, which is proved by the occurrence of H. porosus in the Calicut University campus. M. wynadensis and H. porosus were originally collected from a heavily littered slope of Wayanad forest (Haq and Clement, 1995), indicating that undisturbed litter accumulated on hill slants and bases are their preferred habitats. Lohmannia sp.…”

Agricultural production through known farming practices relies on artificial fertilizers. Increasing frequency of pest outbreaks and pesticide hazards together with great dependence on artificial fertilizers became a tremendous problem for people and the environment. In this context, it is timely to adopt safe organic farming practices by using oribatid mites, an approach referred to as oricultural farming practice . Oribatid mites play several vital roles in soil ecosystems, of which biodegradation and subsequent soil enrichment deserve special mention. The present study revealed that several species of oribatid mites are instrumental in biodegradation because they consume large amounts of plant materials and digest them with enzymes (such as cellulose and cellobiase) produced by microbial colonies in mite guts. Large quantities of organically rich faecal pellets laid by the mites increase soil fertility, plant growth and productivity. Okra plants (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, 1794) cultivated by using oriculture farming practice were significantly taller, had flowers earlier, and their pods were larger in comparison with the control plants. This clearly warrants wide usage of oricultural farming practice to increase crop productivity.

“…The work of Seniczak et al (2012) describes in greater detail the body morphology, discusses the quetotaxia of legs, and provides illustrations of the larva, protonymph and tritonymph. Haq and Adolph (1981), Sengbusch (1958), Sengbusch and Sengbusch (1970), Sengbusch (1954) have maintained this species in laboratory conditions and have generated information about its developmental time and feeding. However, no details are provided for each stage of development, adult lifetime, preoviposition period, details of quiescence, and molt.…”

Allogalumna (Acrogalumna) longipluma (Berlese, 1904) es una especie de amplia distribución, se reporta por primera vez en territorio mexicano. Los ejemplares fueron colectados en muestras de suelo de bosque de encino-pino y huerta sembrada con aguacate (Persea americana) en el municipio de Uruapan, Michoacán. El objetivo de este trabajo es proporcionar mayor información sobre la biología, comportamiento y morfología de todos los estadios de desarrollo en condiciones de laboratorio. El ciclo de vida desde la oviposición hasta la muerte del adulto fue de 217 ± 69.9 días, el estado de huevo tuvo la mayor duración 10.1 ± 1.8 días, seguido de la tritoninfa 9.4 ± 2.6; la vida adulta fue la de mayor variabilidad. Se describen e ilustran los cambios de tamaño, morfología, esclerotización, sistema octotáxico y quetotaxia del cuerpo de juveniles y adultos.
