Abstract: | The seasonal history and phenology of an indigenous field population ofTyphlodromus pyri Scheuten inhabiting a commercial apple orchard in South Bohemia are described. Data on population dynamics, number of generations, feeding, mating and reproductive habits as well as seasonal distribution within the apple tree canopy are discussed. Recommendations for mass retrieval ofT. pyri from apple orchards, their transfer to, and release in other orchards, are given. The conclusions and recommendations can be used for improving integrated pest management strategies in commercial apple orchards. |
