Abstract:

In this study, some phytophagaus and predatory mite species were determined from vegetable areas in Edirne Province. 299 samples were collected belong to 13 different plants species. In surveys from Tetranychidae family Tetranychus urticae Koch and Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisd., from Eriohyiidae family Aculops lycopersici Massee, from Tarsonemidae family Tarsonemus confusus Ewing, from one of important predatory mite family Phytoseiidae Phytoseius finitimus Ribaga, Amblyseius barkeri Hughes, Neoseiulus californicus Mc Gregor, Euseius finlandicus Oudemans, from Acaridae Tyrophagus putrescentiae Schrank and from Tydeidae family Tydeus californicus Banks were identified. Neoseiulus californicus is determined as the most common predatory mites species (10.46%). Tetranychus urticae is the most common harmful among harmful species mites species (46.96 %), so tomatoes and beans were the most preferred host plants for this mite.
