On-Site Rearing of Beneficial Predatory Mite Species
Summary
An on-site beneficial mite rearing system will be developed to rear and utilize predatory mites for control of the two spotted mite in greenhouses. This technique will integrate caging, environmental controls and beneficial insect/mite feeding systems, and will allow the producer to control a pest organism with a local, on-site, and sustainable alternative to biological controls.
