Release of predatory mite, Neoseiulus barkeri (Acari: Phytoseiidae) for its suppression two species of eriophyid mites (Acari: Eriophyidae) on olive seedlings in Egypt

Toxic effects of some acaricides on Aceria oleae (Nalepa, 1900) (Acari: Eriophyidae) and its predator Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor, 1954) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) under laboratory conditions

“…Among these agents, phytoseiids can control eriophyid mites successfully (Gerson et al 2003). Also, several phytoseiid mite species related to eriophyid mite populations in olive trees, Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) athiasae Porath & Swirski, 1965, Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) rarus Wainstein, 1961, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) recki Wainstein, 1958 psyllakisi Swirski & Ragusa, 1976, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) involutus Livshitz & Kuznetsov, 1972, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) athenas Swirski & Ragusa, 1976, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) rapidus Wainstein & Arutunjan, 1968, Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor, 1954, Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, 1948, Amblyseius andersoni (Chant, 1957, Euseius stipulatus (Athias-Henriot, 1960) and Paraseiulus talbii (Athias-Henriot, 1960), were reported in different locations by some researchers (El-Laithy, 1999;Kumral & Kovanci, 2004;Kumral et al, 2010;Chatti et al, 2017;Ersin et al, 2020;Kaya, 2020;Elhalawany et al, 2021). Also, Abou-Awad et al (2000) reported that phytoseiids are capable of preventing the outbreak of A. oleae in olive groves.…”
