“…Cada predador das espécies avaliadas predou pelo menos 5,2 ovos de B. tabaci por dia Aleuroglyphus ovatus apresenta elevado potencial biótico, podendo ser obtido em grandes quantidades sobre grãos armazenados em espaços reduzidos (XIA et al, 2009) e a preços baixos. A utilização de Astigmatina usualmente requer menores gastos para a produção do predador.…”

Predatory mites of the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) for the control of biotype B of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Brazil The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is considered a major agricultural pest. Its control is mainly done with the use of insecticides, which however have not provided satisfactorily. An alternative could be the use of predatory mites of the family Phytoseiidae as control agents. The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot is an effective control agent of this pest in other countries, nonetheless this species has not being found in Brazil. Its introduction could enable the biological control of whitefly in the country. However, preliminary studies carried are still necessary to evaluate its effectiveness as a control agent of B. tabaci biotype B, found in Brazil. One population of A. swirskii collected in the Republic of Benin and the other commercially available in the Netherlands, have been recently introduced to Brazil for studies. On the first study reported in this paper, two populations were compared in relation to their ability to prey and oviposit when fed with B. tabaci eggs of different ages and with other food sources. The best performance was presented by the Netherlands population, but for both populations, higher predation and oviposition levels were observed on younger eggs (< 24h). In the second study, we evaluated the biotic potential of the same population when fed with B. tabaci eggs or pollen of Typha domingensis Persoon as well as the effect of both populations on the larvae of Euseius concordis (Chant), phytoseiid commonly found in Brazil. The intrinsic rate of population increase was relatively high on both food types, being slightly higher on eggs of B. tabaci than on pollen (respectively 0.29 and 0.25 female/female/day). Adults females of both populations preyed on their on larvae and also the highest levels of E. concordis, regardless of the presence of pollen. In the third study, we evaluated the potential of Brazilian populations of phytoseiids as predators of B. tabaci, as well as their performance on other food sources. The phytoseiid species evaluated were Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor), Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant), Amblyseius largoensis (Muma), Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers and Neoseiulus tunus (De Leon). All species preyed on eggs of B. tabaci, but best results were observed for A. herbicolus, A. tamatavensis and N. tunus. The results suggest that these species are promising as control agents of B. tabaci. In the fourth study, we evaluated the biotic potential of A. tamatavensis when fed on eggs of B. tabaci and its performance in controlling this pest in young bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants. The intrinsic rate of population increase was comparable to that of A. swirskii fed with the same prey. On the other hand, the release of this predator resulted in a reduction of 60 to 80 % in pest density, suggesting that A. tamatavensis is promising as a control agent B. tabaci. We c...

“…At favorable temperatures and 90 to 100 percent relative humidity, the T. putrescentiae female can lay an average of 437 eggs [42][43]. This revealed that temperature is an essential factor controlling the developmental time and life cycle of Tyrophagus similis.…”

Mite pests are cosmopolitan and reported from many parts of the world. T. putrescentiae was previously described as saprophagous species that feeds on different fungi including moulds (Eutorium, Penicilium) Fusarium, Alternaria, Geotrichum, Mucor and Trichophyton. Oyster Mushroom is a low investment, low risk, low labour intensive, and moderate profit enterprise. Mites have been found to damage mushrooms right from spawning to harvest of the crop. Moreover, mites themselves pollute the mushrooms by the multitude of faeces that they excrete all over, making the mushrooms uneatable as a food, causes allergies and other diseases. Considering the above facts, efforts have been made to assemble the available literature in this article.

“…Both species exhibited a biphasic declined in respiratory rate as the temperature was reduced, giving sharp fall in respiratory response between 30 and 20 o C and a moderate fall between 15 and 5 o C. Population increase of S. oryzae was completely inhibited at 15 o C, while a small number of S. zeamais emerged. Xial et al (2009) examined the effect of four constant temperature (20, 24, 28 and 32 o C) on the physiological properties (survival, development time, sex ratio, fecundity and longevity of females) in the laboratory at 85% RH. The total development time, longevity shortened as temperature increased.…”

ِLaboratory experiments was conducted to evaluate the adverse action of six plant powders (red pepper, nigella, kidney bean, green peas, cumin and clove), three chemical insecticides (pirimiphos methyl ,spinosad and lufenuron) and four environmental temperatures (10,15,25 and 40 o C)against the insect species under study, Trogoderma granarium using an incubator. Two types of packages ,glass jars and plastic bags were also used for investigating the effect of package kind on the tested insect under the four tested temperatures The capacity of packaging were studied to prevent tested insect from infesting wheat grain ,two assay methods were used ,package of one layer and package of two layers. Percentage of damage was estimated. The results revealed that the two layer bags greatly reduced the damage of wheat grain by T. gnanarium adults compared to that of one layer only. Results demonstrated that the high mortality percentages of T. granarium adults were found in polyethylene bags after 3 and 7 days of exposure periods at 40 ,25,15 and 10 o C respectively. The highest mortality was found with 10 o C followed by 40,15 and 25 o C. The effect of three tested factors together(kind of package, temperatures and insecticides) was higher than that of the two factors of package and temperatures only. The obtained data also revealed that pirimiphos-methyl had the highest effect on T. granarium adults compared to spinosad and lufenuron. Lufenuron produced the least effect on the tested insect species among the tested insecticides.
