“…Commercial production of beneficial insects requires periodic rearing followed by the ability to maintain the predators produced in a healthy state, especially when used in augmentative biocontrol release programs (Rathee and Ram, 2018). Storage of natural enemies at cold storage is a simple method for maintaining a large number of the natural enemies dormant for short- and long-term and talking them to appropriate conditions for reproduction and to control pests when needed (Hodek et al ., 1973).…”

“…Tolerance to cold storage and consequent effects on longevity and efficacy when released into the target environment varies amongst natural enemies (Rathee and Ram, 2018). Storage at low temperatures can have a negative effect on insect biology, reducing survival of both immatures and adults, sex ratio and fecundity (e.g.…”

“…Storage at low temperatures can have a negative effect on insect biology, reducing survival of both immatures and adults, sex ratio and fecundity (e.g. Rathee and Ram, 2018). When mass rearing natural enemies for inundative releases, it is also essential to choose the life stage that can tolerate low-temperature storage (Benelli et al ., 2018).…”

Cold storage effects on the female predatory thrips Scolothrips longicornis Priesner (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) fed on Tetranychus urticae Koch eggs for different time periods (5, 10, 20 and, 30 days) at 5 or 25 °C (control) on development and life table parameters were examined. Female adult duration and female total longevity were not influenced by the period of cold storage. The minimum mean female total longevity (28.1 ± 0.32 day) was observed in the 30-day treatment. The oviposition period decreased with increasing cold storage duration. All life table parameters of S. longicornis demonstrated a significant difference across treatments. Our results demonstrated that the female adult of S. longicornis could be maintained at 5 °C for 5-days with minimal reduction in the life-history process. This would be beneficial in the storage and mass production of S. longicornis in biocontrol programs involving T. urticae.

“…axyridis adults can be stored at 3°C for 150 d with a high survival rate did not reduce their reproductive ability and predatory capacity (Ruan et al, 2011). However, cold storage can decrease the fitness or quality of biological control agents, may negatively affect insect survival, fecundity, mating behaviour, and mobility capacity, or may substantially affect the fitness of their progeny (Colinet & Boivin, 2011; Rathee & Ram, 2018). Larentzaki et al (2007) indicated that the longevity of adults was shortened when Franklinothrips vespiformis Crawford (Thysanoptera: Aeolothripidae) was stored at 7°C.…”

“…Humidity also affects the physiology, survival, fecundity, reproductive capability, and behaviour of insects. Higher humidity reduced the water loss in arthropods and improved the survival during cold storage (Ghazy, Suzuki, et al, 2013; Rathee & Ram, 2018). Ghazy, Suzuki, Amano, et al (2012) reported that survival time was significantly prolonged when N .…”

Neoseiulus bicaudus Wainstein (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a beneficial predatory mite to control spider mites. To evaluate the suitable storage conditions of N. bicaudus, the survival of adult females was observed under different combinations of low temperature (3, 6, 9, or 12°C), food (F) or no food (NF), and high (H) or low (L) humidity conditions for 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 d. Predator mites’ longevity and survival time of 50% and 80% individuals (ST50,80) were measured and compared between treatments. After storage, female and male living mites were paired at 26°C. The progeny parameters were evaluated after storage. Results revealed that survival rate decreased as storage temperature decreased. At 3 and 6°C, fewer mites survived after 28 d. At 9°C, ~50% of the females survived in the FH treatment after 35 d. At 12°C, >80% survived 7–35 d in the FH treatment. Moreover, longevity and ST50,80 were significantly greater in the FH treatment than in the FL or NFH treatments at 3, 9, and 12°C. The highest longevity (48.6 ± 3.7 d) and ST50 (51.6 d) occurred at 12°C in the FH treatment. There was no effect on progeny hatching or survival rates when adults were stored at 9 or 12°C for 28 d. At 9°C, the total preadult development time was 4.20–5.25 d. At 12°C, the total development time was 4.87–4.93 d and there was no significant difference between the storage treatment and control group. These results demonstrated that N. bicaudus females can be successfully stored at 9°C for ~21 d and 12°C for ~28 d with little effect on adult survival or progeny parameters.
