Effect of the nymph prey density of the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch on the consumption and reproduction rates of the predacious mite Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai) in absence and presence of nymphs of the white fly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) (Acari : Phytoseiidae)

Abstract: The predacious mite Cydnoseius negevi consumed about 90% of the available Tetranychus urticae females at low prey densities, but only about 60% when Bemisia tabaci was also present. However, the presence of the white fly increased the reproduction of the predator mite.
