“…High oviposition rates on pollen have been reported for other Euseius species (Bouras and Papadoulis 2005;Broufas and Koveos 2000;Fouly et al 2013) and are typical for type IV predatory mites (McMurtry et al 2013). The egg-laying capacity of A. swirskii and A. limonicus on pollen is lower with about 2 eggs per day for A. swirskii feeding on T. latifolia pollen (Park et al 2011) and for A. limonicus feeding on iceplant pollen (McMurtry and Scriven 1965).…”

Euseius gallicus is a new phytoseiid species recently described from southern France that has shown potential as a biocontrol agent for thrips and whitefly in rose, if pollen is supplied as an additional food source. To investigate if the use of E. gallicus provides improved thrips and whitefly control, we conducted laboratory experiments examining the biology of E. gallicus and a semi-field experiment comparing the biological control efficiency of E. gallicus with that of Amblydromalus limonicus and Amblyseius swirskii, two phytoseiid species commonly used for biological control of thrips and whitefly in roses. Euseius gallicus had high oviposition rates on Typha latifolia pollen (3.9 eggs/day) and on young whitefly eggs (3.6 eggs/day). Oviposition on first instar Frankliniella occidentalis larvae was lower (1.5 eggs/day). Euseius gallicus predated 2.6 first instar thrips larvae per day; however, predation of thrips larvae was nearly zero when T. latifolia pollen was offered as a supplementary food source. Euseius gallicus females did not enter diapause under short-day conditions, and juvenile development was completed at 13 . When released in combination with T. latifolia pollen on roses in the semi-field trial, E. gallicus developed the largest population of the predatory mites tested; however, despite reducing the whitefly population, it had no control effect on the thrips population.

“…A longer developmental time was reported of the predatory mite, Agistemus longisetus Gonzalez when it was fed on eggs of scale insect, P. zizyphi (15. days) (Momen, 2001). Fouly et al (2013) found that life cycle duration of E. scutalis was averaged 5.20 and 6.19 days, 6.40 and 7.23 days, 7.30 and 7.85 days for male and female when fed on palm pollen, immature stages of T. urticae and B. tabaci, respectively. The female lived for a longer period than that of male, where longevity was 23.3 and 17.11 days for female and male, respectively.…”

“…Many authors studied the biology of this predator on various kinds of diets, e.g. tetranycid mites, insects and pollens (Meyerdirk and Coudriet, 1986;Bounfour and McMurtry, 1987;Kasap and Sekeroglu, 2004;Osman et al, 2010;Al-Shammery, 2010;Fouly et al, 2013).…”

Euseius scutalis developed and oviposited when provided with egg stage of Parlatoria ziziphi as prey under laboratory conditions of 28 ± 2°C and 70 ± 5% relative humidity (RH). Euseius scutalis was significantly affected by food source but a slight difference was noticed between females and males. The efficiency of the predator increased as it advanced in its development. Egg incubation period of female and male lasted 2.11 days. The life cycle lasted 8.04 and 7.32 days for female and male, respectively. The female lived for a longer period than that of the male, where longevity was 23.3 and 17.11 days for female and male, respectively. The number of prey eggs consumed per individuals was 16.11 and 10.30 eggs for total immature stages. The female predator devoured 43.81 prey eggs during the oviposition period (11.46 days) and deposited 0.91 eggs per day.

“…T/S respectively. Fouly et al (2013) recorded that in oviposition, an average female lives for 1.00, 2.04 and 1.57 days when E. scutalis female was provided with pollen grains, T. urticae and B. tabaci, respectively.…”

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.
