KW - Predator mite KW - Mites KW - Feeding and feeds KW - Acaricides N1 - Includes reference N2 - Feeding capacity and fecundity of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis fed on nymphal stages of the two - spotted spider mites were highly affected by the plant texture and rearing substrates. The predatory mite indiVidually attacked more preys on bean leaves. The feeding capacity during 10 days in the oviposition period was declined gradually on apple, fig, cotton and mango with an average of 16.37,15.92, 10.28, 9.95 and 8.97 prey individuals/day, respectively UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2010/MUJPPP/110/1/abstract/51.pdf UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2010/MUJPPP/110/3/103.pdf ER -
