Low air temperature accompanied with high humidity is effective for long-term cold storage of the predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae). To further improve this storage method, we investigated the effect of pre-storage nutrition on survival during storage and on post-storage quality in terms of survival, oviposition, and progeny viability. The predatory mite was fed...
To determine the optimum air temperature and water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) for the storage of the predatory mite, Neoseiulus californicus, 3-day-old mated females were stored at air temperatures of 0, 5, 10, or 15 °C and VPDs of 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5 kPa for 10, 20, or 30 days. At 10 °C and 0.1 kPa, 83 % of females survived after 30 days of storage; this percentage was the highest among all conditions...
