“…Remarks -The description and measurements of the adult females collected agree with those provided by McMurtry and Moraes (1984) for specimens from South Pacific, by Karmakar et al 2017 for specimens from West Bengal (India) and by Fang et al (2020) for specimens from Vietnam. This species is an important natural enemy of mite pests in China (Wu et al 2009).…”

Several phytoseiid species are excellent biological control agents for suppressing mite pest populations in many crops and preventing yield losses. This paper aims to improve the knowledge of Phytoseiidae diversity in citrus orchards and argan forest in central western Morocco. The surveys were conducted between April and October during three successive years (2017–2019), in nine conventional citrus orchards covering an area of more than 3,000 hectares and on uncultivated plants in argan forest at an altitude ranging from 150 to 700 meters. Twenty-nine species belonging to 15 genera were found, seven of them being new for the Moroccan fauna: Amblyseius largoensis, A. swirskii, Amblyseiella setosa, Euseius batus, E. dossei, Paragigagnathus molestus, and Cydnoseius negevi. Species of nine genera were found on citrus leaves: Neoseiulus, Amblyseius, Amblyseiella, Transeius, Phytoseiulus, Euseius, Phytoseius, Typhlodromus, and Paraseiulus. Stah AlMadina (24.8%), Ouled Abdellah (15.9%), Nour (14.3%) domains contained a high number (more than 60.2%) of individuals in the collected samples. Malva parviflora, Convolvulus althaeoides, Solanum nigrum, Bryonia dioica, Withania somnifera would be interesting companion plants to be associated in the inter-rows in citrus orchards in this region to ensure sustainability, because they host high densities and diversities of Phytoseiidae. A key of females of all recorded Moroccan species until now is provided.

“…A comprehensive report of Indian phytoseiid mites have been provided by Gupta, 2003, later Karmakar andGupta, 2014;Pramanik and Karmakar, 2016;Karmakar et al, 2017 discovered and reported numbers of new species of phytoseiid mites associated with agri-horticultural crops. They stated that phytoseiid mites were most common predators associated with phytophagous mites in the vegetables and are effective biological control agent against T. urticae, T. macfarlanei, P. latus, B. phoenicis and E. orientalis.…”

“…The knowledge of Indian Phytoseiidae is based on several major contributions by Gupta (2003). Recent studies have raised the total number to 243 species belonging to 21 genera in three subfamilies of Phytoseiidae from India (Karmakar and Gupta, 2014;Pramanik and Karmakar, 2016;Karmakar et al, 2017;Karmakar and Bhowmik, 2018;Kar and Karmakar, 2021;Molla et al, 2021;Bhowmik and Karmakar, 2021). So far, there is no consolidated report of predatory mites from vegetable crops (Lahiri et al, 2004;Karmakar and Gupta, 2011) and Haneef and population followed by Typhlodromips syzygii, Euseius ovalis, Paraphytoseius multidentatus, Neoseiulus longispinosus, Neoseiulus pranadae, Euseius alstoniae, Scapulaseius asiaticus, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) sp.…”

Aim: Methodology: Results: Interpretation: A study was carried out to understand the diversity and community structures of phytoseiid and phytophagous mite fauna associated with vegetable crops in West Bengal aiming for the development of better and ecologically sound mite pest management strategy. Mite samples were collected from different agro-climatic zones of West Bengal and the specimens were brought to the AINP on Agricultural Acarology laboratory, BCKV, Kalyani for mounting on glass slides using modified o Berlese’s medium. The slides were then kept on slide wormer at 35-40 C for 5-7 days to process for observation under a phase contrast microscope. A total of fifteen species of phytoseiid mites were recorded belonging to the genera Amblyseius, Euseius, Paraphytoseius, Typhlodromips, Scapulaseius, Neoseiulus, Phytoseius, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) and Indoseiulus. Amblyseius largoensis was observed as predominant mite species followed by Typhlodromips syzygii occupied 19.71 and 15.05 % of total predatory mite population, respectively. The other predatory mites belonging to the family Tydeidae, Bdellidae, Ascidae, Cunaxidae, Cheyletidae and Stigmaeidae were also recorded during the period of investigation. Predatory mites were observed to predate upon different stages of phytophagous mites, mealy bugs and pupae of whitefly. Concerning the phytophagous mites, Tetranychus urticae, Tetranychus ludeni, Schizotetranychus baltazari, Eutetranychus orientalis, Oligonychus andropogoni, Polyphagotarsonemus latus and Brevipalpus phoenicis were found as destructive mite pests in vegetables. Phytophagous mite is a serious concern for successful vegetables cultivation in West Bengal. Predatory mites were found effective against phytophagous mites and other soft bodied insect and they could be utilized for biological control programme to minimize the use of chemical pesticides.

“…A. largoensis merupakan spesies tungau familia Phytoseiidae yang tersebar luas dan melimpah, biasanya ditemukan pada tanaman holtikultura, gulma dan berbagai tanaman yang ada di hutan (Karmakar et al, 2017). A. Largoensis adalah predator generalis yang memakan tungau hama, serangga kecil, termasuk memakan serbuk sari (polen).…”

Tanaman melati gambir (Jasminum officinale) yang terdapat di Kecamatan Bukateja, Desa Cipawon, Purbalingga, Jawa Tengah merupakan salah satu komoditas bernilai ekonomi tinggi, kegunaannya tidak hanya sebagai tanaman hias, tetapi sebgai bahan pengharum the, kosmetik, parfum, dan lain-lain. Salah satu penyebab penurunan produktivitas Melati Gambir di disebabkan oleh adanya serangan hama yaitu tungau. Populasi tungau hama dikendalikan oleh tungau predator. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis tungau predator dan menentukan kelimpahan tungau predator pada tanaman Melati Gambir (J. officinale) di Desa Cipawon, Purbalingga, Jawa Tengah. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey dengan teknik pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling. Terdapat sembilan titik sampling, delapan titik di tepi luar dan satu titik di tengah perkebunan. Setiap sampling diwakili oleh tiga pohon. Sampel berupa daun melati gambir berasal dari 10 tangkai daun terbawah diperoleh sebanyak 270 sampel daun. Masing-masing titik sampling diambil sebanyak tiga kali ulangan dengan interval waktu satu minggu. Variabel yang diamati meliputi jumlah individu dan jumlah spesies tungau predator pada tanaman melati gambir dan parameter yang dihitung yaitu luas daun, sudut duduk daun, panjang dan kerapatan trikoma, temperature, kelembapan serta curah hujan. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan analisis variansi (ANOVA) dengan tingkat kesalahan 20%. Hasil identifikasi tungau predator pada tanaman melati gambir didapatkan dua spesies yaitu Amblyseius largoensis dan Phytoseius amba. A. largoensis sebanyak 76 individu dengan presentase kelimpahan 61,8% dan P. amba sebanyak 47 individu dengan presentase kelimpahan 38,2%. Kelimpahan tungau predator tergolong sedang karena predator mudah dijumpai, setiap tiga daun dijumpai satu predator. Kata Kunci: Cipawon., kelimpahan., melati Gambir., tungau predator.
