“…The rapid population growth of T. urticae in the control treatment was expected, given the high biotic potential of T. urticae. Indeed prevailing conditions in protected cultivation such as greenhouse often favor the development of T. urticae (Kim and Park, 2006). The present study indicated that the potential of the predator to reduce the population of T. urticae determined by the predator:prey ratios at the time of predator release.…”

“…In recent years, especially greenhouse vegetables and floriculture, as well as the control of the red spider species in the open field, primarily Phytoseiulus persimilis and other phytoseiid species have been used (Loginova et al, 1987;Jarasik, 1990;Jarasik and Pliva, 1990;Easterbrook, 1992;Zang and Sanderson, 1995;Boom et al, 2002;Lanzoni et al, 2017). Kim and Park (2006) reported that Tetranychus urticae was effectively controlled by the release of predatory mites at a rate of 3 predator/m 2 . Limited studies were conducted in mass production of P. persimilis and it use in control of Tetranychus cinnabarinus on greenhouse growing strawberries (Kılınçer et al, 1992 (Kazak et al, 2000) in Turkey.…”

The effectiveness of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae), as a suppressive agent of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), was evaluated on greenhouse cucumber at predator:prey release ratios of 1:5, 1:15, and 1:30. Releases at each predator:prey ratio were made at 30 T. urticae densities per leaf. Evaluation was initiated 4 days after the release. On the under side of the leaves which were selected randomly from the lower, middle, and upper parts of the plants, the eggs and active forms of T. urticae and P. persimilis were counted using 10X hand magnifier for each treatment. In control treatments without predatory mite and acaricide application, population of T. urticae was constantly increased and reached 140 active forms/leaf in August. Subsequently the population decreased when the plants died. At ratios of 1:5, P. persimilis reached 8 active forms/leaf while T. urticae populations reached 11 active forms/leaf. At ratios of 1:15 P. persimilis population increased (3.4 active form per leaf) and T. urticae population decreased (1.6 active forms per leaf) in September and the latter one was kept by P. persimilis at low levels thereafter. Plant damage also was significantly reduced at these densities. P. persimilis population decreased when prey (T. urticae) population decreased. Our work demonstrates the potential of P. persimilis to provide effective control of T. urticae on a greenhouse-grown cucumber at a moderately low predator:prey ratio (1:15) in Tokat Province, Turkey.

“…It has been used in the biological control of T. urticae in strawberry through massive releases in areas such as North America (Strand, 1994), Northern Europe (Scopes, 1985), the Mediterranean Sea (Benuzzi and Antoniacci, 1995) and Korea (Kim and Park, 2006). According to Naher and Haque (2007), P. persimilis is the most commercialized and widely released phytoseiid predator in greenhouses.…”

(Boisduval). Eggs, larvae and protonymphs of T. cinnabarinus may be optimal food for C. picanus, which obtained survival rates of 100%, 97% and 93%, respectively, on them. The survival of P. persimilis was around 6.7% with diets based on eggs, larvae and protonymphs, showing a high mortality level by dehydration when fed with eggs. The time of the postembryonic development was signifi cantly shorter (p < 0.05) for C. picanus than for P. persimilis when they were fed with eggs, larvae and deutonymphs of T. cinnabarinus. When fed with eggs and a combination of different stages of T. cinnabarinus, the intrinsic rate of growth (r m ) was signifi cantly higher (p < 0.05) for C. picanus (0.289 and 0.307, respectively) than for P. persimilis (0.019 and 0.025, respectively). The values of the fi nite rate of growth (λ) were also signifi cantly (p < 0.05) higher for C. picanus (1.34 and 1.36) than for P. persimilis (1.02 and 1.03) when they were nourished with eggs and a mixed diet, respectively. The high values of r m and λ found for C. picanus in the experimental conditions are indicators of the possible control that this phytoseiid mite, as a predator of T. cinnabarinus, would potentially offer under the conditions of lower relative humidity encountered in the arid zone of the desert of Chile.
