“…Petri dishes (diameter 6 or 12 cm) were used as platforms for rearing and observing mites (see Zhang et al 1998c for details). Bamboo leaves were placed on a piece of filter paper which rested on a piece of foam plastic soaked with water in the Petri dish.…”

The predatory mite Amblyseius cucumeris (Oudemans) was studied in the laboratory to evaluate its potential as a biocontrol agent against the spider mite Schizotetranychus nanjingensis Ma & Yuan, a pest of the moso bamboo in Fujian, China. When fed S. nanjingensis females and eggs, the life cycle of A. cucumeris (developmental time from egg to egg 7.7 days for the first generation and 7.8 days for the second generation) was as long as its life cycle on its normal diet in the laboratory, Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (7.8 days) at 27-28 o C. Adult females of A. cucumeris started to lay eggs at the age of 3 days with a daily rate of 1-4 eggs (average of 2.2) over a period of 7-18 days and a total fecundity of 35.8 (14-47) eggs. The number of prey consumed by predators increased with prey density and the number of eggs produced was directly correlated with the number of prey consumed. Female predators consumed twice as many female spider mites as did male and deutonymph predators (6 versus 3 per day at 9 prey per leaf). A. cucumeris females were unable to invade intact webnests of S. nanjingensis but were able to invade and liked to stay and lay eggs in broken nests with existing openings or holes.

“…Another predator, A. longispinosus Evans, is also known to occur in very low densities on bamboo in Fujian. It was evaluated as a possible biocontrol agent (Zhang et al 1998c) and mass release was also made (Zhang et al 2000) in bamboo forests. However, this species is relatively expensive to rear.…”

“…N. longispinosus was also collected frequently from bamboo, which was commonly infested with A. corpuzae and T. bambusae Wang and Ma. This predator has been reported to be a promising biological agent for controlling these mite species on bamboo (Zhang et al, 1998). The results of the present study suggest the possibility for effective utilization of N. longispinosus as a biological control agent for controlling mite pests on a variety of the host plants in Thailand listed above.…”

We studied the distribution of the predatory phytoseiid mite, Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans), in Thailand. The predator was distributed over the entire areas of the country throughout the year. It was found on 33 plant species ranging from perennial plants such as fruit trees to annual crops such as vegetables and ornamentals. N. longispinosus was abundant on plants infested with spider mites producing heavy webbing on the lower surface of leaves.

“…Blackwood et al (2001) tested N. longispinosus for prey preferences between eggs and larvae, and the results showed that N. longispinosus had strong preference for eggs. (Qin & Li 2013;Li et al 2014;Wang et al 2014) and N. longispinosus (Zhang et al 1998). Predators with higher searching efficiency (α) and lower handling time (T h ) are better agents, although predators exhibiting the Type III functional response are efficient biocontrol agents.…”

“…It is widely distributed and has been commercially used in various countries around the world (Gotoh et al 2004;Canlas et al 2006;McMurtry et al 2013;Barbosa & de Moraes 2015). Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) is another efficient phytoseiid mite of large number of mite pests, and this species has primarily an Asian distribution (Zhang et al 1998;Thongtab et al 2001;Carrillo et al 2012;Rahman et al 2013).…”
