Abstract
Studies were conducted during two successive seasons in cantaloupe field, at Ismailia Governorate, to control the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Kock by releasing the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus. macropilis (Banks) using gelatin capsules or bean leaflets harbouring the predator individuals. The pest populations were generally low or moderate at the time of the predator releases then decreased and continued in low densities till last inspection. Obtained results indicated the possibility to control the two-spotted spider mite, T. urticae in cantaloupe field in early spring season by releasing the predatory mite, P. macropilisat the rate of about 5 individuals/bit using gelatin capsules or bean leaflets harbouring the predator individuals. One predator release also seemed to be effective for phytophagous mite control.
