Abstract
The predacious mites, Typhlodromus mangiferus Zaber and EI- Borolossy and Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot), reproduced successfully on mango powdery mildew Oidium mangiferae Berthet in absence or presence of spider mite prey O. mangiferus (Rahman and Sapra) under laboratory conditions of 25±1°C and 60-65% R.H. Adult female of both predators consumed protonymphs of O. mangiferus at different experimental densities. The consump­tion rate increased with increasing prey densities up to 25 protonymphs/female/day and decreased significantly at 35 and 50 protonymphs/female/day for the two predatory mites. Addition of powdery mildew conidia to each prey density significantly reduced consumption of spider mites at 35 and 50 protonymphs/female/day. Mean eggs/female/day by T. swirskii and T. mangiferus was 0.30.and 0.72 when reared on powdery mildew conidia compared with 1.64 and 1.57 when fed on powdery mildew and tetranychid prey, respectively. This increase in reproduction would have compensated the reduction in protonymph prey consumption due to the presence of mildew conidia. Mite-mildew interactions are discussed.
