“…Similar to our results, some authors showed the compatibility of acequinocyl, bifenazate, fenproximate and hexythiazox with A. swirskii in different agricultural ecosystems (Fiedler & Sosnowska, 2012;Audenaert et al, 2014;Lopez et al, 2015). Although Masui et al (2014) noted that acequinocyl did not affect the population of A. swirskii in field studies in melon fields, the one third of acequinocyl HRC was found as slightly harmful for A. swirskii in our study. The reason for discrepancy may be the differences between laboratory and field conditions.…”

The tomato russet mite, Aculops lycopersici (Massee, 1937) (Acari: Eriophyidae) is a common pest of tomatoes. The predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, 1962 (Acari: Phytoseiidae), can control A. lycopersici populations. To integrate biological and chemical control of A. lycopersici, side effects of the lethal concentrations of acaricides, as a predator, on A. swirskii should be considered. The lethal concentrations of 14 acaricides for A. lycopersici were determined under laboratory conditions at Bursa Uludağ University during 2017-2018. To understand the toxic impacts of the acaricides on juveniles and females of A. swirskii, the LC99 values for A. lycopersici of each acaricide were applied to A. swirskii. The reproduction reduction effects of the LC99 values were also assessed. Quite low concentrations of abamectin, milbemectin, pyridaben, azadirachtin and sulphur were found to be toxic for A. lycopersici. Based on the side effect scale, the LC99 values of abamectin, acequinocyl, bifenazate, fenproximate, fenbutatin oxide, hexythiazox, milbemectin and sulphur that killed A. lycopersici were found to be slightly toxic to both females and juveniles of A. swirskii. The results of this comparative toxicological study have showed that more field studies should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using low concentrations of acaricides with A. swirskii in combination for controlling A. lycopersici.

We evaluated the effectiveness of using an indigenous generalist predatory mite, Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes ) ( Acari: Phytoseiidae ) , to control Thrips palmi Karny(Thysanoptera: Thripidae )in greenhouse melons.In a growth chamber experiment, the density of T. palmi was lower on plants exposed to 20 N. barkeri per plant than on plants grown without a biological control. In a greenhouse experiment, the density of T. palmi was lower in the N. barkeri release plots than in the no-release plots. These results suggest that N. barkeri is an effective biological control agent against T. palmi.
