Résumé
Les potentialités d'un prédateur et son aptitude á réaliser la régulation des populations de sa proie sont les premiers éléments qui doivent être examinés avant la mise en œuvre d'une méthode de lutte biologique. Plusieurs critéres écologiques ont permis d'aborder l'étude de l'évaluation de l'efficacité prédatrice d'un acarien,Zetzellia mali Ewing., dans des conditions naturelles de milieu. Quelques observations au laboratoire, concernant notamment les préférences alimentaires et les capacités de survie du prédateur, ont complété cette premiére étude.
Summary
This predatory effect was assessed by observing natural populations of mites, according to several ecological criteria. The results of this study outlines the fairly important effect of the predatory miteZetzellia mali on the prey populations, thus proving the interest of maintaining some sedentary useful animals of this type in the orchards. Some data have been collected in order to help the predatory activity of this mite in commercial orchards.
