Host plant and humidity effects on phytoseiid mite, Gynaeseius liturivorus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) egg hatchability
- MedicineExperimental and Applied Acarology
- 2021
Results show G. liturivorus as the most drought-sensitive among the five species tested, but it is shown to be able to compensate for lethal low-RH effects on egg hatching in part by periodic exposure to high RH conditions, as observed for N. californicus.
Suppression effect of intercropping with barley on Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in onion fields
- 2021
Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a global pest of onion plants and is difficult to control using chemicals. Therefore, we investigated whether intercropping with…
A simple method using a folded structure for small-scale rearing of a phytoseiid mite, Gynaeseius liturivorus (Acari: Phytoseiidae), on eggs of Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
- BiologyApplied Entomology and Zoology
- 2019
The results show that an artificial arena with a folded Parafilm roof is suitable for rearing G. liturivorus, and the method may also be suitable for use in risk assessment of chemical pesticides with G.liturvorus.
Species composition and arthropod pest feeding of phytoseiid mites in a Japanese pear greenhouse
- BiologyApplied Entomology and Zoology
- 2018
A population survey of spider mites and phytoseiid mites was conducted on Japanese pear leaves in a greenhouse and a PCR-based method to detect the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences ofSpider mites from phytOSEiid Mite species inhabiting in the greenhouse was developed.

Effect of humidity on the development, reproduction and predatory activity of Amblyseius longispinosus (Evans), a predator of Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida.
- Biology
- 1985
It is suggested that the period of development of the immature stage of A. longispinosus became shorter at a high humidity, and the number of eggs consumed decreased slightly with decreasing humidity.
Effectiveness of predatory mites, Neoseiulus womersleyi (Schicha) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) proliferated on natural enemy preservation plants in suppressing the population density of Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida (Acari: Tetranychidae) on tea.
- Environmental Science
- 2010
Results suggest that N. womersleyi proliferated on natural enemy preservation plants suppressed the population density of T. kanzawai and that T. rotundifolia is effective as a naturalenemy preservation plant.
Species Composition of Phytoseiid Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Tea Fields with Different Management Practices in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

- 2004
More than one hundred pests are known to occur on tea, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze, in Japan (Mochizuki, 2003a). Among them, the Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida, the yellow tea…
Do leaf domatia mediate a plant–mite mutualism? An experimental test of the effects on predators and herbivores
- Environmental Science
- 1997
The mutualism hypothesis for the function of leaf domatia predicts that predatory and/or fungivorous mites benefit from having a favourable place to take refuge and reproduce and that plants benefit indirectly from reduced herbivory and/ or pathogen attack.
