摘要
Biological control of Tetranychus urticae Koch in Florida's commercial strawberry fields is possible by use of the predacious mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot. A low and stable population of both species is maintained after about 2 months. Immigration of local parasitoids and predators contributes stability. The cost is likely to be lower than that of chemical control, and strawberry yields are not reduced.
