“…I compared the mean length of immature development and preoviposition period and the mean number of eggs deposited with data for tea pollen taken from Kishimoto et al (2014), which was a favorable food for the six phytoseiid species. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.…”

“…N. californicus and N. womersleyi were reared on bean leaf (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) discs with sufficient prey, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and the four other species were reared on the artificial arenas with tea pollen (Kishimoto, 2005) in the laboratory at 20℃, 16L: 8D and 70-80% RH, as described in Kishimoto et al (2014).…”

“…Thirty adult females of each phytoseiid species were removed from the respective stock culture and allowed to oviposit for 8 h at 25℃ on bean leaf discs with sufficient T. urticae (for N. californicus and N. womersleyi) or with tea pollen and five pieces of 1 cm × 1 cm cotton gauze (for the other four species) (see Kishimoto et al, 2014). Eggs of each species were transferred individually to the "sealed" Satsuma mandarin leaf disc with A. pelekassi as described above.…”

“…A. eharai and N. californicus are dominant species in citrus orchards in Japan (Katayama et al, 2006;Kishimoto et al, 2007;Miyashita et al, 2014;Miyazaki et al 2012). The other species are often abundant on other fruits trees and vegetation surrounding fruit orchards (see Kishimoto et al, 2014).…”

“…Although P. nipponicus has been collected from Hokkaido to Kyushu including citrus-growing areas (Toyoshima et al, 2013), the information of basic biological characteristics of this species is limited (Gotoh et al, 2007;Kishimoto et al, 2014;Sudo et al, 2010;Toyoshima et al, 2008). Thus, as the next step, further studies are needed to accumulate more detailed data on the habitat plants and alternative foods of P. nipponicus.…”

To find candidate native phytoseiid species for the control of the pink citrus rust mite, Aculops pelekassi, the development and oviposition of six phytoseiid species, Amblyseius eharai, Euseius sojaensis, Neoseiulus californicus, Neoseiulus womersleyi, Phytoseius nipponicus and Typhlodromus vulgaris, reared on A. pelekassi were compared at 25℃, 16L: 8D. P. nipponicus was able to utilize A. pelekassi as food and almost all larvae developed into adults and most of the females oviposited well. However, A. pelekassi was inadequate food for the other phytoseiid species. Thus, P. nipponicus is expected to be a prospective candidate phytoseiid species for the control of A. pelekassi, if the method for the establishment of P. nipponicus populations on citrus trees will be developed.

BACKGROUND: A wide range of supplementary food resources can be offered to generalist predatory mites to improve their survival and reproduction and enhance their persistence in the environment. We investigated the relative suitability of different pollen types for the survival and reproduction of Neoseiulus californicus and its life history on a mixed diet of pollen and prey. We also evaluated the population dynamics of Tetranychus urticae in the presence of N. californicus with or without pollen, and in comparison to Phytoseiulus macropilis.RESULTS: Survival and reproduction of N. californicus adults were satisfactory on exclusive diets of T. urticae, cattail pollen, palm pollen and bee pollen. However, mites did not reproduce when fed only pollen during both immature and adult stages. Both predatory mites successfully controlled T. urticae. Although the specialist P. macropilis was more efficient in suppressing the pest population in the short term, it abandoned plants at low prey densities, whereas N. californicus performed better and persisted longer under prey scarcity. CONCLUSION: N. californicus is an efficient biological control agent of T. urticae and the provision of supplementary food could retain them in the crop prior to the arrival of the pest or in periods of prey scarcity.

BACKGROUND A new physical control method using ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) lamps and light‐reflecting sheets (UV method) significantly suppressed a spider mite population on greenhouse strawberries. Although UV‐B radiation may adversely affect the survival of phytoseiid mites, previous research has suggested that Neoseiulus californicus can improve its survival on exposure to UV‐B irradiation by consuming antioxidants contained in tea and peach pollen. In this study, we evaluated strawberry pollen as an alternative food source for N. californicus and examined whether antioxidants in the pollen mitigated UV‐B damage to N. californicus. RESULTS The fecundity of N. californicus females reared on Tetranychus urticae decreased on shifting their diet to pollen. By contrast, females reared continuously on strawberry pollen produced as many eggs as females reared continuously on T. urticae. Survival and fecundity after UV‐B irradiation were higher in females on the pollen diet. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity analysis revealed that the high antioxidant activity of strawberry pollen was due to four hydroxycinnamoyl spermidine derivatives. CONCLUSION Strawberry pollen was an adequate alternative food source for N. californicus. Feeding on strawberry pollen, which contains spermidine derivatives with high antioxidant activity, mitigated UV‐B damage. This shows the potential of combining the UV‐method with N. californicus for controlling T. urticae in strawberries.
