Conteúdo: | The biological control of citrus red mite, Panonychus citri, and the eriophyid rust mites, Tegolophus australis and Phyllocoptruta oleivora, is being studied on two orchards near Gosford on the Central Coastof NSW. Mite populations have not reached economic levels in these orchards since investigations commenced in April 1976 but serious infestations of red mite have been recorded on the coast during autumn and early winter when warm, dry conditions usually prevail. T. australis is the predominant rust mite. Three predatory phytoseiid mites have been found: Amblyseius deleoni, A. lentiginosus and A. elinae. The phytoseiid populations fluctuate in relation to the populations of red mite and the rust mites and A. elinae and A. deleoni have been the most abundan t phytoseiid mites. More than 15 species of coccinellid beetles have been recorded and Halmus (Orcus) chalybeus, Serangium bicolor and Stethorus nigripes were the most frequently observed.
