Description

This study systematically explored the reproductive characteristics and developmental dynamics of predatory mite Amblyseius lentiginosus (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) through multi-dimensional experiments. It provides key theoretical support for optimizing its field application efficacy as a biological control agent. Initial experiments utilizing frozen Carpoglyphus lactic (Acariformes: Carpoglyphidae) eggs as a food source uncovered severe developmental constraints, with only 57.25% of indivi...
