<p>The present invention relates to a mite composition, the rearing thereof and methods for application of the composition in biological control systems. The invention provides a mite composition comprising:
- a viable population of a phytoseiid predatory mite species selected from the group consisting of <Italic>Amblyseius montdorensis</Italic> (Schicha), <Italic>Typlodromalus lailae</Italic> (Schicha) and <Italic>Amblyseius largoensis</Italic> (Muma), preferably <Italic>Amblyseius montdorensis,</Italic>
- a viable factitious host population comprising at least one astigmatid mite species,
- an artificial rearing substrate which also acts as a carrier during distribution,
- wherein the astigmatid mite is selected from the family of the Acaridae, such as <Italic>Acarus siro,</Italic> Linnaeus, 1758.</p><p><Paragraphs id="pa02" num="0002" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">The composition is used for application in commercial crops, especially tomatoes for pest control.</p> |
