| Abstract: | The predacious miteAgistemus exsertus Gonzalez was reared in the laboratory on the eriophyid miteAculops lycopersici (Massee) for studying the development, fecundity and predation efficiency. At 30°C and R.H. 75% the duration of the predator egg incubation, immature stages, life cycle, oviposition and longevity of the adult female was 0.92, 2.10, 3.02, 4.89 and 7.20 days respectively in average. The consumption by one adult female ofA. exsertus per day on the different stages of the eriophyid miteA. lycopersici was 60.3 eggs and 45.3 immature and mature stages. |
