The brown citrus mite, Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein), and the red Panonychus citri (McGregor), are important mites that may cause considerable damage to fruit in Tunisia other countries around word. In present study, we investigated some biological demographic parameters of already cited under controlled laboratory conditions. To do so, various temperature levels were tested on fitness E. (30-35 °C) P. (25-30 at fixed relative humidity (50%) photoperiod (16L:8D). Concerning orientalis,...
This study presents the results of a survey aimed to determine species composition phytoseiid mites on citrus trees, inter-row grasses and conifers planted as break winds within around orchards. was carried out in fourty six orchards main growing regions Tunisia, from September 2009 August 2011. Twenty belonging ten genera were found, among which eleven are new for Tunisian fauna. paper provides catalogue all these species, with some information their biogeography biology when available. In...
Surveys of Phytoseiidae were carried out in three Tunisian citrus orchards; the first was conducted according to organic farming practices; second integrated pest management; third conventionally with an intensive use pesticides. The aim present study assess diversity and densities these orchards both on trees weeds. highest weeds observed orchard (eight species eight weeds). In managed orchard, only four found trees, respectively. same species, Euseius stipulatus, dominant orchards, whereas...
The impact of agroecological weed management on predatory mites (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) is more and studied. Based surveys carried out in two experimental sites Tunisian citrus orchards, this study aims: (i) to compare Phytoseiidae communities trees weeds, (ii) determine dispersal between agrosystem compartments (iii) assess the communities. Samples were collected weeds; ground cover was surveyed using traps along tree trunks. Euseius stipulatus and, a lesser extend, Iphiseius...
