“…This does not prevent the presence of pests, but will hinder the introduction of soil predators (Fransen 1992;Paulitz 1997;van Schelt and Mulder 2000;Cloyd and Zaborski 2004). Furthermore, not all soil types are favourable for Enkegaard and Brødsgaard (2000); 13 Freire et al (2007); 14 Gillespie and Quiring (1990); 15 Glockemann (1992); 16 Jensen et al (2019); 17 Jess and Bingham (2004); 18 Kasuga et al (2006); 19 Lesna et al (1996); 20 Lesna et al (2000); 21 Lesna et al (2014) predatory soil mites. Sandy soils, for example, can be too compact for predatory mites to move freely and localize prey (Lesna et al 2000;Sabelis et al 2008).…”

Biological pest control is becoming increasingly important for sustainable agriculture. Although many species of natural enemies are already being used commercially, efficient biological control of various pests is still lacking, and there is a need for more biocontrol agents. In this review, we focus on predatory soil mites, their role as natural enemies, and their biocontrol potential, mainly in vegetable and ornamental crops, with an emphasis on greenhouse systems. These predators are still underrepresented in biological control, but have several advantages compared to predators living on above-ground plant parts. For example, predatory soil mites are often easy and affordable to mass rear, as most of them are generalist predators, which also means that they may be used against various pests and can survive periods of pest scarcity by feeding on alternative prey or food. Many of them can also endure unfavourable conditions, making it easier for them to establish in various crops. Based on the current literature, we show that they have potential to control a variety of pests, both in greenhouses and in the field. However, more research is needed to fully understand and appreciate their potential as biocontrol agents. We review and discuss several methods to increase their efficiency, such as supplying them with alternative food and changing soil/litter structure to enable persistence of their populations. We conclude that predatory soil mites deserve more attention in future studies to increase their application in agricultural crops.

“…Het verschil zit in het feit dat de nieuwe roofmijt veel kleiner is zodat deze beter op plaatsen in de bol kan komen waar de eveneens zeer kleine tulpengalmijt zich bevindt. N. paspalivorus blijkt in laboratoriumonderzoek tulpengalmijt in voldoende mate te onderdrukken en kan daarbij ook zichzelf in stand houden na toediening (Lesna et al 2014). De roofmijt N. baraki lijkt door zijn kleine vorm naast N. paspalivorus ook een goede kanshebber als biologische bestrijder.…”

“…The DBM is widespread around the world, with infestations recorded from 33 countries to date, representing all continents except Antarctica (Perring 1996 ; CABI 2006 ; Ostoja-Starzewski and Matthews 2006 ; Navia et al 2010 ). As a host-generalist, it is the most important eriophyoid attacking bulbous crops (Conijn et al 1996 ) including garlic ( Allium sativum L.), onion ( Allium cepa L.), and tulip (Leśna et al 2014 ). It can cause severe losses to bulb crops, reducing yields up to 23% (Larrain 1986 ), and is an important problem for the Dutch tulip bulb industry.…”

“…In addition to its great economic importance, there is increasing interest in A. tulipae as a study subject for basic and applied research. Experimental studies have focused on developmental time of DBM on garlic (Courtin et al 2000 ), DBM infestation ability of various garlic varieties (Sapáková et al 2012 ), methods of genetic identification of mites (Hein et al 2012 ), impact of DBM on garlic production (Debnath and Karmakar 2013 ) and methods of biological control of DBM (Leśna et al 2014 ). However, current knowledge of DBM host range is largely anecdotal.…”

Dry bulb mite (DBM), Aceria tulipae, is an economically important mite with a worldwide distribution and a broad host range. As a generalist, it is the most important eriophyoid mite attacking bulbous plants such as garlic, onion and tulip. To date, DBM has been recorded on host plants belonging to the families Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Melanthiaceae and Asparagaceae. However, a precise understanding of DBM host range is lacking as it is largely based on casual records of mites on plants, some of which may include accidental hosts. Moreover, the possible existence of cryptic species has not been considered. In this study the hypothesis that DBM may be a complex of distinct genetic lineages or cryptic species was tested by comparing the common barcode sequence marker mtDNA COI of specimens from several populations originating from the Netherlands and Poland. The population growth rate of DBM on seven agriculturally important plant species and on various parts of the garlic plant was also experimentally assessed in the laboratory. The results did not support the first hypothesis, and indicated that DBM populations originating from Poland and the Netherlands shared essentially the same genome. In addition, they indicated that DBM reached the highest population growth rate on leek and also displayed high growth rates on garlic, chive and red onion, whereas white onion and wheat were not colonized by the mites. Answering the question of whether DBM is a single polyphagous species rather than a complex of cryptic lineages is of particular importance since the misidentification of pests may lead to ineffective control strategies. Moreover, improved knowledge of DBM host range is essential for assessing risk to crops.
