Abstract
Because of their ability to form symbiosis relationships with soil rhizobia that fix atmospheric nitrogen, legumes play an important role in agro-ecosystems. Mites can live on a wide range of plants, including field and greenhouse crops, ornamental plants, and fruit orchards. However, due to differences in nutritive, morphological, and toxic constituents, these mites do not accept all leguminous plants to the same extent. This study was carried out to identify mite species at Dakahlia and Cairo governorates from March 2018 to October 2019. Data showed that the incidence of 62 species in 42 genera and 23 families in four mite groups. Suborder Prostigmata was represented by 14 families, 27 genera, and 40 distinct species. Order Mesostigmata had 18 species in 11 genera and six families. Suborder Oribatida had only two mite species belonging to two genera in two families, while Cohort Astigmatina had two species in two genera of one family.
