As Menoufia Governorate, included a large area of citrus groves, thus, it was chosen for conducting this experiment. However, one of the problems facing citrus production in this governorate is how to control the citrus rust mite Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead) and the flat mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes). Some investigators in Egypt recorded the relationship between predaceous and phytophagous mites and the effect of release predatory mites against citrus phyJophagous mites (Rasmy ef al., 1972; Ibrahim, 1988; El-Halawany ef al., 1993 and Abdel-Samad ef al., 1996). Therefore, this work was uodertaken to investigate different release levels of the two phytoseiid mites, Phytoseius plumiftr (C. & F.) and Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) against the two aforementioned phytophagous mites in citrus grove in Menoufia Governorate.
