Abstract
Results of monitoring communities of the predatory phytoseiid mites in 70 commercial vineyards and 29 apple orchards in the Eisack-and Etsch-river valleys, Southern Tyrol, are reported and discussed.Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten,Amblyseius andersoni (Chant) and, locally,A. finlandicus Oudemans were the most abundant species.
