Tetranychus urticae Koch
(Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae), two-spotted spider mite, is a pest mite
species that feed on a wide range of plants around the world. Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor)
(Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) is shown as a predatory mite to be a very
efficient biological control agent of T.
urticae. Amblyseius swirskii
Athias-Henriot (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) is another phytoseiid mite species which
can feed and reproduce on a wide range
of food sources, including T. urticae. Information about the prey
stage preference of a predator is valuable for evaluations of the potential of
predatory mites to control of pests. We therefore analyzed the prey-stage
preferences of A. swirskii and N. californicus to eggs and nymphs of T. urticae at 15:15, 10:20, and 20:10
egg: nymph ratios under controlled conditions (25±1 °C, 65±5% RH and 16-h light: 8-h dark photoperiod). The experiment
was carried out on abaxial surfaces of bean
leaf discs with a diameter
of 2 cm. Starved (for 24 h), 2-3
days-old gravid females of A. swirskii
and N. californicus were used in the
experiment. One predatory mite was placed individually on each bean leaf disc infested with 15:15, 10:20 and
20:10 ratios of T. urticae egg: nymph. After 24 h of feeding, the
numbers of prey consumed for each prey stage were recorded. From the results,
it is clear that while N. californicus
showed no preference between egg and nymphs of T. urticae. A. swirskii
preferred nymphs to eggs of T. urticae.

Amblyseius swirskii Henriot ve Neoseiulus californicus’un (McGregor) (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) Tetranychus urticae’nin Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae) yumurta ve nimf dönemleri arasındaki tercihi

Öz

Tetranychus urticae Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae), iki noktalı kırmızı örümcek, tüm dünyada
yaygın olarak görülen ve farklı bitki türleri üzerinde beslenebilen zararlı bir
akar türüdür. Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor)
(Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae), T. urticae’nin
etkili bir biyolojik mücadele etmeni olarak bilinmektedir. Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae)
ise, T. urticae’nin de içinde
bulunduğu farklı besin kaynakları üzerinde beslenebilen ve üreyebilen, diğer
bir phytoseiid akar türüdür. Predatörlerin, av-dönem tercihlerine yönelik
bilgiler, onların etkinliklerinin değerlendirilebilmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir.
Bu nedenle A. swirskii ve N. californicus’un
T. urticae’nin yumurta ve nimf
dönemleri arasındaki tercihi 15:15, 10:20, 20:10 yumurta: nimf oranlarında,
kontrollü koşullar (25±1 °C, %65±5 RH ve 16 saat aydınlık: 8 saat karanlık
aydınlanma) altında araştırılmıştır. Deneme 2 cm çapındaki yaprak disklerinin
alt yüzeylerinde yürütülmüştür. Denemede aç (24 saat), 2-3 günlük A. swirskii ve N. californicus dişi bireyleri kullanılmıştır. T. urticae ile 15:15, 10:20 ve 20:10 yumurta: nimf oranlarında
bulaşık olan yaprak disklerine birer tane predatör akar salınmıştır. 24 saatlik
beslenme periyodundan sonra, avın tüketilen dönemleri sayılarak kaydedilmiştir.
Sonuçlar N. californicus’un T. urticae’nin yumurta nimf dönemleri
arasında herhangi bir tercih göstermediğini, ancak A. swirskii’nin nimf dönemini yumurtaya tercih ettiğini
göstermiştir.
