Biology and Population Dynamics of Two Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus Linnaeus) Under Protected Cultivation
Abstract:Two spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch is the major polyphagous pest on crops and cause considerable yield loss. Cucumber cultivation become possible throughout the year in closed condition with improved agronomic practices. The cultivation of cucumber under controlled condition is threatened by the occurrence of various pests, of which mites occupied greater importance in yield reduction. The influences of weather parameters on population dynamics of T. urticae were studied under protected conditio… Show more
