Predatory mites whitepaper
thrips-predating
phytoseiids, A. limonicus and T. montdorensis
predate also large (2nd instar) thrips larvae.
They also have the highest numerical response
to thrips [...] pressure is high.
• In laboratory trials the oviposition of A. andersoni
with whitefly eggs as prey is good. This species
was never tested against whiteflies [...] low when exclusively whiteflies are provided
as prey. They do much better with an additional
food source (mites, thrips, pollen, etc.)
