Abstract
Mass rearing of the predatory mite, Agistemus exsertus Gonz.
A simple method for mass rearing the predatory mite,A exsertus is described. Detached leaves of sour orange (Citrus aurantium) were used as a substrate for rearing the predator. Pollen grains ofZea mays were supplied as a source of food. The predator developed and reproduced successfully using the technique described. After fed on pollen grains the pradator maintained his predatoring qualities.
