Title Phytoseiids in Apple Ecosystem and the Feasibility of Mass Culturing the Potential Predator of Phytophagous Mites
 
Creator Nargeta, Dalip Singh
 
Subject 634.11 Apples
 
Description Studies carried out in apple orchards of Kullu, Shimla and Kinnaur districts of Himachal Pradesh during 2002-2003, revealed that the population of phytophagous mites namely Panonychus ulmi and Tetranychus urticae were maximum in optimum sprayed orchards followed by sub optimum sprayed orchards and was negligible in unsprayed orchards. Phytophagous mite population significantly increased during fruit development and preharvest stages of plant growth. These were the stages when apple trees received heavy doses of pesticides. The population of phytoseiid predators increased significantly during pink bud stage followed by a marginal increase at post-harvest stage of plant growth.
