Abstract | ||||
Under laboratory conditions, The current study indicated that the type of tested fungi (food) had slightly significantly difference on the incubation period of uropodid mite, Uroobovilla krantzi (males and females) when fed on the fungi, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani. Whoever, the obtained data indicated that the type of tested fungi not significantly affected on the life cycle from egg deposition to adult emergence where it recorded 35.1 and 34.6 days when individuals reared on F. oxysporum and R. solani, for female individuals respectively, changed to 37.3 and 36.5 days for male individuals when fed on the same fungi, respectively. Also the cuurrent study indicated that the type of used fungi had very highly significantly difference effects on the adult male and female longevity. This duration lasted 163.3 and 92.1 days when females fed on F. oxysporum and R. solani, respectively, but in case of adult males this period averaged 198.4 and 72.1 days on feeding on the same kind of fungi, respectively.The preoviposition, oviposition and postoviposition periods for females lasted 4.8 and 8.3 days, 129.6 and 43.6 days & 22.5 and 28.6 days when the female individuals reared on F. oxysporum and R. solani, respectively. Significantly more eggs (123.0 eggs) are laid by females when fed on F. oxysporum than when fed on R. solani (34.6 eggs). | ||||
