Verbatim
e0“We evaluated the predation and oviposition rates of two predatory mites, Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) and Euseius degenerans (Berlese), when offered first instar larvae of T. parvispinus and found that predation and oviposition rates of A. swirskii were higher than those of E. degenerans .”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Pollen increased juvenile survival and development of A. swirskii relative to thrips larvae alone.
- Intervention effect Pollen plus thrips larvae increased juvenile survival and development relative to larvae alone.
- Intervention effect A. swirskii controlled thrips on isolated sweet pepper with supplemental pollen.
- Recommendation Releasing A. swirskii before pest invasion can efficiently control thrips populations on sweet pepper.
