Predatory Mites Whitepaper
(30°C). At 15°C there is till some
predation but development is very slow. If the
temperature is below 8°C for a longer time,
A. swirskii will die.
Control [...] cucumeris, A. swirskii
and A. andersoni. In a healthy, good growing plant
canopy the humidity close to the leaf surface, where
the mites live, is higher than [...] whiteflies.
• A. limonicus has the highest numerical response
to whiteflies and is the best option when the pest
pressure is high.
• In laboratory trials
