Abstract EN
During this study the frequency of occurrence and dominance of phytophagous and predatory mites harboring seven vegetable crops in Egypt, namely common bean, cowpea, eggplant, okra, squash, sweet pepper and sweet potato during 2017–2018 were investigated to identify predatory mites that might be useful for the biological control of the phytophagous mites.
three phytophagous and nine predatory mite species were surveyed.
the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch of the family Tetranychidae was the dominant pest on these vegetables, while phytoseiids Phytoseiulus persimilis (Athias- Henriot), Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias- Henriot) and Euseius scutalis Chant were the dominant predators.
the population of the native or indigenous phytoseiid mite fauna in egypt such as phytoseiulus persimilis could be considered as a good biocontrol agent and a part of the integrated pest management (IPM) program in the future.
Mite fauna of Egypt especially local populations of phytoseiulus persimilis can be considered for implementation in future integrated pest management (IPM).
