Abstract: The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch, poses a significant threat to greenhouse tomato production, potentially causing ≤40% yield loss. Although biological control using the specialist predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus… read more here.

DOI: 10.11158/saa.30.5.6
Abstract: Abstract Biological control of tetranychid mites on various agricultural crops is mainly conducted using phytoseiid mites. Specialised (type-I) phytoseiids are more effective in controlling phytophagous populations but generalist predators (type-II and III) can be more… read more here.
