J. de  aPhysiological effect of the host plant on the suitability of Tetranychus urticae as prey for Phytoseiulus persimilis (AcaribTetranychidade, Phytoseiidae).  c1987  aWeigth gain of adult females Phytoseiulus Athias-Henriot was determined after they were fed eggs or adults females of Tetranychus urticae Koch reared on either Lima bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) or nightshade (Solanum douglasii Dunal). No significant difference was found when the predator was fed eggs of T. urticae reared on either host. Predators were heavier when fed adult female T. urticae reared on bean. Apparently, a factor determining the prey's suitability is incorporated into its hemolymph or tissues and restricted to its gut content.  aAcari  abeans  abiological control  anatural enemies  aphysiology  aPhytoseiidae  aPhytoseiulus persimilis  aTetranychus evansi  aÁcaro  aControle biológico  aInseto  aTetranychidae  aTetranychus Urticae  aArthropod  aHost plant  aInsect  aPredator1 aMcMURTRY, J.
