“…There have been subsequent introductions from Europe to local commercial producers and further exchanges among research institutions and between these and commercial producers in the past few decades ( 8 , 9 ). Besides widespread release of P. persimilis , the suitability of mass rearing of many indigenous predatory mites has also been explored and other mite species are now produced for different crop zones targeting various pests in China ( 9 ): these include Neoseiulus californicus McGregor ( 10 ), a particularly efficient predator of spider mites ( 11 ), citrus red mites ( 12 ), and thrips ( 13 ) on vegetables and fruits. To improve control of a range of mite pests, N. californicus has been used in a complementary manner with P. persimilis in the field.…”

“…Optimum leaf sampling for thrips is from the middle of the plants (Shipp and ZariVa 1991), as was conWrmed by our evaluations, also a primary location for N. californicus. Recent studies have shown that N. californicus can complete its lifecycle on this thrips (Sengonca et al 2004;Walzer et al 2004;Mizobe et al 2005). In the presence of N. californicus, F. occidentalis populations were signiWcantly reduced on pepper leaves.…”

The efficacy of Neoseiulus californicus (a generalist predatory mite) for the biological control of Tetranychus urticae, was compared to release of Phytoseiulus persimilis (a specialist predatory mite) and an acaricide treatment in sweet pepper plants grown in greenhouse tunnels in a hot and arid climate. To ensure uniform pest populations, spider mites were spread on pepper plants in two seasons; a natural infestation occurred in one season. Predators were released prophylactically and curatively in separate tunnels when plants were artificially infested with spider mites, and at low and moderate spider mite populations when infestations occurred naturally. Although spider mite populations did not establish well the first year, fewer spider mites were recovered with release of N. californicus than with all other treatments. In the second year, spider mites established and the prophylactic release of N. californicus compared favorably with the acaricide-treated plants. In the course of monitoring arthropod populations, we observed a significant reduction in western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) populations in tunnels treated with N. californicus as compared with non-treated control tunnels. Our field trials validate results obtained from potted-plant experiments and confirm that N. californicus is a superior spider mite predator at high temperatures and low humidities.

“…In the present study, we used N. californicus as the target predator, and two prey species, the two-spotted spider mite T. urticae and flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) as prey. N californicus is a selective predator of tetranychid species, and also can complete its life cycle on early immatures of F. occidentalis (Mizobe et al 2005;van Baal et al 2007). Herein we mainly focused on the reproductive performances of predator females affected by the prey species consumed by males and females during immature stages and by female adults during oviposition stage.…”

Feeding experiences of predators during immature and adult stages may impact females’ reproduction. In the present study, we investigated reproductive performances of Neoseiulus californicus when both parents had different feeding experiences on Tetranychus urticae and Frankliniella occidentalis. Female and male immatures fed on either prey species. Each newly emerged female adult individually mated with a male had either the same or different feeding experience. Prey for mated females were either same as or different from that consumed during their immature stages. Therefore, eight reproductive treatments were created. The highest cumulative fecundity (57.5±3.3 eggs/female) was observed when both female and male fed on T. urticae with the lowest fecundity (34.2±2.7 eggs/female) observed when the parents fed on F. occidentalis. Daily fecundity and oviposition duration were mainly affected by prey of mated females. Mated females preyed on T. urticae had 56.6% higher daily fecundity and 22.3% shorter oviposition duration than those preyed on F. occidentalis. No significant difference in offspring sex ratio and egg hatch rate was detected between treatments. About 88% of the first-laid eggs developed to males. Impact of prey species consumed by male immatures was only observed on pre-oviposition duration. The average pre-oviposition duration of females who mated with males fed on T. urticae in their immaturity was 33.0% shorter than those females who mated with males fed on F. occidentalis in their immaturity. Results of the present study are valuable in optimizing N. californicus field release strategies, and will help further investigations into the nutritional requirements of this species.
