The present study aimed to clear the fluctuation dynamics for both Tetranychus urticae Koch and the associated predatory mite Amblyseius gossypii ElBadry to show their active periods that advantageously in controlling T. urticae biologically. It was occurred on guava trees (Psidium guajava L). Guava trees were seven years old in an orchard in Beer El-Abd city, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt were studied during April 2019 to March 2021. Observation was done fortnightly on both mite species density per leaf by selecting ten guava trees each of four accessions and five branches from each plant with the help of 20x hand lens. Both year the population of T. urticae showed its highest density through two essential periods in early and mid-summer, while the predatory mite, A. gossypii began its activity with the beginning of the prey activity. At winter season, the population of both the prey and the predator dropped.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
