Life-History and Behaviour of the Predacious Mite Typhlodromus (T.) caudiglans Schuster (Acarina: Phytoseiidae) in Ontario, with Notes on the Prey of Related Species1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

The predators of phytophagous mites are being studied at Vineland Station as part of an investigation of the causes underlying the increase of these mites that foIlows the use of DDT and some orher pesticides in peach orchards (Putman and Herne, 1959). Phytoseiid mites, especially Typhlodromus (T.) caudiglans Schuster, are among the commoner predators.
