Predatory potential and functional response of Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) against Panonychus ulmi (Koch) reared on different apple cultivars
The European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), has emerged as a major threat to apple production globally, exacerbated by widespread pesticide resistance. This study evaluated the predatory potential and functional response of the predatory mite Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) against stage-specific prey densities (3–...
