Presence-absence sampling for Tetranychus urticae and its predator Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Tetranychidae; Phytoseiidae) on strawberries

We propose a systematic presence-absence sampling plan for estimating densities of both Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) and its predator Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on strawberries. It is based on the synchrony and spatial coincidence between prey and pre...

These estimates, complemented with the knowledge of the economic level of damage and the number of predators necessary to control different densities of T. urticae, are likely to help reduce the use of acaricides in the context of integrated pest management of T. urticae on strawberry.
