“…Majority of the Phytoseiidae mites are polyphagous and feed on different prey and non-animal diets like pollen grains (El-Banhawy et al 2000, 2001Knapp et al 2013). Other studies on T. aripo diets, reported that this species was able to develop and reproduce on CGM under laboratory conditions (Gnanvossou et al 2003(Gnanvossou et al , 2005.…”

“…They are also thought capable of reproducing on non-prey items including pollen plant exudates, artificial diets and honeydew (Dosse 1961;Ramarkers 1990;Abou-Awad et al 1992;James 1993;Tanigoshi et al 1993;Momen 2004). Presence of a supplementary food in addition to a principal prey can even increase predator's fecundity (McMurtry and Scriven 1964;Ragusa and Swirski 1977;Abou-Awad et al 1998;El-Banhawy et al 2001).…”

The predacious mites, Typhlodromus mangiferus Zaher and El-Borolossy and Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot), reproduced successfully on mango powdery mildew Oidium mangiferae Berthet in absence or presence of spider mite prey Oligonichus mangiferus (Rahman and Sapra) under laboratory conditions of 25 + 18C and 60-65% R.H. Adult female of both predators consumed protonymphs of O. mangiferus at different experimental densities. The consumption rate increased with increasing prey densities up to 25 protonymphs/female/ day and decreased significantly at 35 and 50 protonymphs/female/day for the two predatory mites. Addition of powdery mildew conidia to each prey density significantly reduced consumption of spider mites at 35 and 50 protonymphs/ female/day. Mean eggs/female/day by T. swirskii and T. mangiferus was 0.30 and 0.72 when reared on powdery mildew conidia compared with 1.64 and 1.57 when fed on powdery mildew and tetranychid prey, respectively. This increase in reproduction would have compensated the reduction in protonymph prey consumption due to the presence of mildew conidia. Mite-mildew interactions are discussed.

“…Genus Petrobia Murray (F:Tetranychidae ) contains more than 30 species of which several polyphagous species are important pests. Kandeel et al(2007) This species is considered a generalist predator and it was preying on several pests including tetranychid, eriophyid mites, nymphs of white flies and thrips (El- Banhawy, et. al.,2001).…”

he present work was conducted to study the effect of temperature on development, fecundity and food consumpution of Amblyseius cydnodactylon (Shehata & Zaher) under laboratory conditions. The biology of A. cydnodactylon may be a considerable value for controlling P. tritici in Egypt. The results showed that the developmental period increased with temperature decrease. Fecundity, longevity and lifespan were longer at 25°C and lower at 35°C. At 25°C developmental period was short with higher fecundity and maximum longevity, where as it was the most suitable temperature for development of A. cydnodactylon , while 35°C was the least suitable.The results on food consumption showed a significant effect of temperature on developmental stages of A. cydnodactylon . The larvae of this predator did not feed during the experiment, and predation activity started just after the mites entered the protonymphal downloaded stage. Feeding capacities of protonymph and deutonymphal stages were in a similar trend. These were increased with increasing temperature from 20•C to 25•C, and then decreased at 30•C and finally, increased again at 35•C. The highest means for total prey consumption of females were recorded during oviposition, when they devoured an average of 103.0, 189.3, 109.0 and 79.0 prey at 20, 25, 30, and 35•C, respectively. The highest and lowest values of the mean prey consumption by postoviposited females was observed at 25•C (6.4 prey) and 20•C (2.1 prey), respectively. During adulthood, the highest number of prey consumed was at 25•C (201.9 prey), which decreased to 116.6, 110.8 and 86.9 individuals at 30, 20 and 35•C، respectively.
