Abstract

Amblyseius swirskii was reared on immature stages ofTetranychus urticae Koch, under 4 temperature and 3 photoperiod regimes. The raise of temperature produced more rapid development and reduced the adult longevity. The mite feeding capacity and fecundity were positively correlated with temperature. At a photoperiod of 16 h the predator developed quicker but it introduced a considerably lower prey consumption and fecundity.

Zusammenfassung

Amblyseius swirskii wurde auf der Nahrungsgrundlage von praeadulten Spinnmilben (Tetranychus urticae) bei 4 verschiedenen Temperaturen und 3 Photoperioden aufgezogen. Mit steigender Temperatur beschleunigte sich die Entwicklung und verringerte sich die Adulten-Lebensdauer. Die Nahrungskapazität und Eizahl der Raubmilbe waren mit der Temperatur positiv korreliert. Bei einer 16stündigen Lichtperiode entwickelte sich der Prädator schneller, hatte jedoch eine geringe Nahrungskapazität und Eizahl.
