Demography and Mass Rearing of Amblyseius swirskii (Acari: Phytoseiidae) Fed on Two Species of Stored-Product Mites and Their Mixture.

摘要: Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) is one of the most important biological control agents and has been used in many countries. In this study, suitability Carpoglyphus lactis L. (Acari: Carpoglyphidae), Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank), their mixture for rearing A. was evaluated by using two-sex life table. When reared on C. lactis, durations egg, deutonymph, total preadult, preoviposition period, adult male longevity (1.95, 1.17, 6.13, 6.30, 10.09 d, respectively) were significantly shorter than those mixed prey (2.05, 1.45, 6.55, 6.64, 15.56 respectively). prey, however, fecundity (110.21 eggs/female) higher comparison with solely (82.17 or T. (98.23 eggs/female). diet, intrinsic rate increase (r = 0.3792 d-1), finite population (λ 1.4611 net reproductive (R0 79.69 offspring) single-species diets. For a daily production 10,000 eggs swirskii, smaller size (2,626 individuals) needed when contrast to 4,332 individuals 3,778 putrescentiae. The projection mass-rearing analysis based table showed that diet suitable economical swirskii.
