| Abstract | ||||
| The study was done to investigate the occurrence of different mites associated with two sugar field crops in two different environmental regions in Egypt during 2018 and 2019. The first site cultivated with sugarbeet plants (Menshaat Salama, El-Riad district, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate) and the second site cultivated with sugarcane plants (Koom Jaqoub village, Abou Tisht district, Qena Governorte) were chosen to conduct the study during 2018 and 2019 seasons. The obtained results showed that the occurrence of 53 different mite species belongs to 33 genera in 24 different families. The obtained results indicated that the Prostigmata (Actinedida) and Mesostigmata (Gamasida) mite species ranked the first as they included the highest numbers (24 and 17 species), respectively, followed by Astigmata (7 species) and Cyptostigmata (5 species). The feeding habitats of most collected species were also be discussed during the study. The current study should be taken into account in planning programs when conducting the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the two tested sugar field crops. Also, an exclusive survey must be performed for all mites on either the green leaves, debris, or soil beneath of those crops at these tested study regions. | ||||
