“…Another relation is the Predator-herbivore relation, which is considered a second level of trophic interactions occurring in an ecosystem (Alba et al, 2012;Gardarin et al, 2018). Connecting these interactions together forms a tri-trophic relation, that consisted of Plant-Herbivore-Predator interaction (Verkerk, 2004;Kavitha and Reddy, 2014), and this one we do hypothetically suggest, is the main method of the biological control applications and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tactics which used to supress pest infestations. IPM is a complex of agricultural, chemical, biological, and ecological procedures, as well as, good knowledge about biodiversity and distribution of living organisms within the habitat (El-Shafie, 2019).…”

The study was aimed to conduct the population dynamics and diversity indices for three major pest species in order to design an IPM protocol in two experimental sites (Om Saber, Beheira Governorate 30°29′50.6″N, 30°46′18.8″E), and (Kom Oshim, Fayoum Governorate 29°34′40.9″N, 30°55′38.3″E). The resulted data showed statistically significant fluctuation, population dynamics, abundance, distribution, and diversity indices of the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), the silver leaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the onion thrips Thrips tabaci Lindman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) which recorded on four plant species belonging to Brassicaceae (Siberian (Russian) kale Brassica napus var. pabularia L. and Italian (Tuscan) kale Brassica oleracea var. palmifolia), and Lamiaceae (Spearmint Mentha spicata L. and Saudi Mint Mentha longifolia L.). The proposed IPM program consisted of predatory mites; Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, and Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski & Amitai) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), a green pesticide, and an entomopathogenic compound. It was concluded that abiotic and biotic factors together help in explaining why various pest species build their communities rapidly and increase their parameters that become above the EIL. Such factors are hypothesized to affect the plant-arthropod, predator-herbivore, predator-predator, and tri-trophic interactions. And it recommends the application of such protocol should consider the timing of tacking an action and merging tactics together to get the maximum efficiency.
