“…In line with our study, the pollen of R. communis provided better nutrition for the reproduction of Typhlodromus negevi Swirski & Amitai than the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), and also the scales Insulaspis pallidula (Green) (Homoptera: Diaspididae) and Phoenicoccus marlatti Cockrerell (Homoptera: Phoenicoccidae) (Momen et al 2009). However, the phytoseiid, Proprioseiopsis cabonus (Schicha and Elshafie), failed to complete its life cycle when fed exclusively on R. communis pollen (Momen 2011).…”

Amblyseius largoensis and Typhlodromus ornatus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are generalist predatory mites that naturally inhabit coconut plantations and other tropical crops. We assessed the suitability of two coconut pest mites, Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) and Aceria guerreronis (Acari: Eriophyidae); the storage mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Acari: Acaridae); honey; and the pollens of castor bean, Ricinus communis, and cattail, Typha domingensis, and their mixture, as food sources for the mass rearing of A. largoensis and T. ornatus. Both pollens, supplied singly or mixed, generated the highest progeny production by both A. largoensis and T. ornatus, and were therefore selected for further life table studies. The pollen diets did not influence the survival of A. largoensis whereas there was higher survivorship of T. ornatus fed on the mixed pollen diet than on R. communis pollen alone. The maximum oviposition rate of both A. largoensis and T. ornatus occurred at the beginning of adulthood, irrespective of the pollen diet. Overall, the life table parameters indicated that the pollen of R. communis for A. largoensis, and R. communis with the mixed pollen diet for T. ornatus, were the best regarding population growth and reproduction. Collectively, our results indicate that A. largoensis and T. ornatus can survive and reproduce excellently when fed solely on R. communis or on the mixed pollen diet. In addition, these results point to the potential of pollen supplementation for the enhancement of the efficiency of these predators in conservation biological control.

“…Till now, very large number of predatory and/or parasite taxa been used to control pest infestations that caused massive economic losses (Smagghe and Diaz, 2012). Predatory phytoseiid mites have reported to be successful control means for spider mites (Negm et al, 2014;Alatawi et al, 2018), eriophyids (Momen et al, 2004(Momen et al, , 2014Momen and Abdel-Khalek, 2008;Abou-Elella et al, 2014;Melo et al, 2015;Abdel-Khalek and Momen, 2022;Ferreira et al, 2022), whiteflies (Teich, 1966;Nomikou et al, 2001Nomikou et al, , 2002Nomikou et al, , 2003, thrips (Messelink et al, 2006;Arthurs et al, 2009;Sanad and Hassan, 2019), aphids (Messelink et al, 2013), and they were proven to fed alternative sources as pollen (van Rijn and Tanigoshi, 1999;Abou-Elella et al, 2014;Delisle et al, 2015 b;Rahmani et al, 2021;Xin and Zhang, 2021), fungi (Zemek and Prenerová, 1997;Momen and Abdelkhader, 2010), or other factitious food/artificial diet to be mass produced (Janssen and Sabelis, 2015;Delisle et al, 2015 a, b;Momen et al, 2020;Xin and Zhang, 2021).

The study was aimed to conduct the population dynamics and diversity indices for three major pest species in order to design an IPM protocol in two experimental sites (Om Saber, Beheira Governorate 30°29′50.6″N, 30°46′18.8″E), and (Kom Oshim, Fayoum Governorate 29°34′40.9″N, 30°55′38.3″E). The resulted data showed statistically significant fluctuation, population dynamics, abundance, distribution, and diversity indices of the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), the silver leaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the onion thrips Thrips tabaci Lindman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) which recorded on four plant species belonging to Brassicaceae (Siberian (Russian) kale Brassica napus var. pabularia L. and Italian (Tuscan) kale Brassica oleracea var. palmifolia), and Lamiaceae (Spearmint Mentha spicata L. and Saudi Mint Mentha longifolia L.). The proposed IPM program consisted of predatory mites; Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, and Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski & Amitai) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), a green pesticide, and an entomopathogenic compound. It was concluded that abiotic and biotic factors together help in explaining why various pest species build their communities rapidly and increase their parameters that become above the EIL. Such factors are hypothesized to affect the plant-arthropod, predator-herbivore, predator-predator, and tri-trophic interactions. And it recommends the application of such protocol should consider the timing of tacking an action and merging tactics together to get the maximum efficiency.

“…Although there is ample literature of factitious and alternative food for phytoseiid predatory mites, no information is available for the suitability of these foods for Cosmolaelaps keni Hafez, El-Badry and Nasr. For example, the eriophyid mite, Aceria dioscoridis (Soliman and Abou-awad) (Acari: Eriophyidae) infested the weed banker plant Pluchea dioscoridis L. was performed as a perfect unnatural prey for various predatory mites of the family Ascidae and Phytoseiidae (Momen et al, 2011(Momen et al, , 2014.…”

The predatory mite Cosmolaelaps keni is a native laelapid mite in Egypt. Development and adult longevity durations as well as fecundity of C. keni reared on five types of prey, Bactrocera zonata, Spodoptera littoralis and Corcyra cephalonica eggs (as insects prey), Aceria dioscoridis and Caloglyphus rodriguez (as mites prey) were determined under laboratory conditions. Cosmolaelaps keni was able to feed, develop and sustain oviposition on all examined insect and mite species. The mean developmental period of C. keni on B. zonata and S. littoralis eggs was significantly shorter than those fed C. cephalonica eggs and both mite species. Deutonymphs of C. keni were consumed similar number of insect eggs, while during the oviposition period, more B. zonata eggs were consumed. A diet of C. rodriguez provided the shortest oviposition period and longevity, while C. cephalonica eggs showed the longest period in this respect. During the oviposition period, preying on B. zonata and C. cephalonica eggs gave the highest fecundity rates for the predatory mite compared to S. littoralis and C. rodriguez. The sex ratio of C. keni progeny was in female-biased. Bactrocera zonata eggs as a prey gave the highest rate of oviposition as shown by the maximum fertility, net reproductive rate and gross reproductive rate as well as the shortest generation time compared to other tested prey; therefore B. zonata eggs were appropriate factitious prey for oviposition and mass rearing of the predatory mite C. keni.
