The females of Amhlyseius cucumeris required 20.0a.5 days to complete its development from the egg to adult at 15± 'C, but only 7.7b0.3 days at 30±1 The developmental duration of each stage of A. cucumeris decreased with increasing temperature from 15'C to 30 C The average oviposition period was 22.2b1.6 days, and the fecundity was 28.9±1. eggs. The female longevity (egg to death) was 40.64C0.7 days. Latoratory studies of predator : prey numerical responses revealed that at the ratios between 3 : 30 and 9 : 30, predators quickly brought A. corpuzae populations under control and the prey densities began to decrease from the 4th days after predator introduction. The present study shows that A. cucumeris can develop, survive and increase its population when feeding on A. corpuzae and has good potential as a biological control agent of A. corpuzae in moso bamboo forests in Fujian, China. Key words: Amh1y.veiu.v mcumeris (Oudernans), Aponychus cotpuzae (Rimando), life history, biological control, predator-prey interaction Introduction - The spider mite Aponychus corpuzae (Rimando) is a widespread species that occurs on a variety of bamboo species in the world (Holland et al. 1998). It was first reported as a major pest species on the moso bamboo (Phyllostachys puhescens) in Zhejiang Province, China (Yu & Shi 1991). In Fujian this species is also a major pest on the moso bamboo (Zhang et dl. 1997). It is much more common and widespread than other spider mite species on moso bamboo. In Fujian bamboo forests, Typhlodromus hamhusae Ehara is a dominant natural enemy of Schizotetranychus nanjingensis Ma & Yan and other phytophagous mites (Zhang et at. 2000b). However, its density is not enough to suppress S. nanjingensis, Aponychus corpuzae, S. hamhusae Reck and Aculus hamhusae Kuang, especially in the bamboo growing season. Furthermore, T. hambusae as well as some other phytoseiids occurring on bamboo are not always effective in controlling other phytophagous mite pests, and pest mite outbreaks occur sometimes in Fujian, China (Zhang et at. 1997, 2000b). Therefore we searched for some predatory mites which can be massproduced in an easier and cheaper way. The predatory mite Amhlyseius cucumeris (Oudemans), sometimes cited by some authors in literature as Neoseiulus cucumeris, is such a predator. It has been used widely as a biological control agent for regulating various species of thrips rather than Systematic &Applied Acarology Society 67
2 mites, although it also feeds on mites (Gerson et al. 2003). The effects ofa. cucumeris on mites are not well known and the limited number of reports showed that the results are variable. Amblyseius cucwneris failed to reproduce when feeding on an eriophyid mite, Aculops lycopersici (Massee) (Brodeur et at. 1997), but it was effective against the cyclamen mite, Phytonemus pallidus (Banks) on strawberries (Croft et al. 1998; Tuovinen 2000,2002) and the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) on greenhouse plants in China (L. R. Liang, personal communication). Both species are members of the Tarsonemidae. Amblyseius cucumeris feeds on spider mites but has rarely been considered for use to control these mites. We were the first to report on the potential of A. cucumeris against 5'. nanjingensis (Zhang et al. 2000a). In this study, we examined the potential of A. cucumeris against A. corpuzae., Materials and methods Mites and plants The predatory mite A. cucumeris originated from a colony in the Biological Crop Protection Limited in England and was reared on Tyrophugus putrescentiae (Schrank) in the laboratory. Aponychus corpuzae used in this study originated from the moso bamboo in Gongchuan Village, Yongan county, Fujian province, China. The leaves of moso bamboo were collected from bamboo forests in Nanping country, Fujian. Leaves not immediately used were stored in plastic bags at 5OC. General description of the experimental setup Petri dishes (diameter 6 or 12 cm) were used as platforms for rearing and observing mites (see Zhang et al for details). Bamboo leaves were placed on a piece of filter paper, which rested on a piece of foam plastic soaked with water in a Petri dish. Leaves were replaced every five days by placing a fresh leaf close to the old leaf. When the mites moved to the new leaf, the old leaf was discarded. Development An egg of the predatory mite was transferred to a clean bamboo leaf. The development of the egg was observed at 12-hour intervals until it reached adulthood. The predatory mites were fed an abundance of A. corpuzae. The experiments were conducted under 15±1 20±1 25±1 30±1 15L : 9D and 70-80% RH conditions. Reproduction A newly mated A. cucumeris female was introduced onto a detached leaf (2 x 2 cm) of green bamboo (Dendrocalamus latiflorus) and was fed sufficient numbers of females and eggs of A. corpuaze. The oviposition of the predator female was checked daily and the eggs laid were removed after the observation. The observations were continued until the predators stopped oviposition or died. There were replicates. The experiments were conducted in controlled condition growth chambers at 25±1 15L : 9D and 70-80% RH. Response to predator density Petri dishes (diameter 6 cm), each with a water-soaked foam plastic (diameter 4 cm) inside, were used as observation units. The water-soaked foam plastic was covered with a detached leaf (2 x 2 cm) of green bamboo (Dendrocalamus fatiflorus). The number of A. corpuzae provided was 30 females per disk. Then 1,3,5,7 or 9 predator females ofa. cucumeris were introduced into the unit. SYSTEMATIC & APPLIED ACAROLOGY VOL. 8

Result and analyses Life history of A. cucumeris feeding on A. corpuzae at 4 constant temperatures The present experiment showed that A. cucumeris could feed on every stage of A. corpuzae, and preferred active stages to eggs of the prey.

The intrinsic rate of natural increase r,,, and finite rate of increase A ofa. cucumeris (0.175 and 1.191) were also lower than those of A. corpuzae (r,,, =0.185, A =1.202, Table 7, Fig. 2). TABLE 7.

Discussion Our study at the individual level showed that A. cucumeris could develop, survive and increase its population when feeding on A. corpuzae. Our study of the population interactions also showed that at the initial predator-prey ratios between 3 : 30 and 9 : 30, A. cucumeris were capable of quickly bringing A. corpuzae under control, and the prey densities began to decrease from the 4th day after the predator introduction. These laboratory studies clearly suggest that A. cucumeris has good potential as a biological control agent of A. corpuzae. Since 1998, we have repeatedly released A. cucumeris into the moso bamboo forests to control A. corpuzae and other pest mites, and the pest occurrence has been reduced. The results of our study are especially interesting and encouraging because of (1) the lack of effective natural predators of A. corpuzae in bamboo forests and (2) the ease with which A. 72 SYSTEMATIC & APPLIED ACAROLOGY VOL. 8
7 cucumeris can be mass-produced for releases. T. hamhusae is the most abundant predatory mite in bamboo forests in Fujian. However, its density is rather low during the bamboo growing season. Our previous observations showed that T. hamhusae selectively feeds on A. corpuzae eggs but does not like to prey on its adults and irnrnatures. It was also reported in Japan that A. corpuzae is only a subsidiary or alternative prey for T. bambusae (Saito 1990). Another native predatory mite, Amhlysieus longispinosus Evans, also showed promise as a predator of A. corpuzae (Zhang et at. 1998), but it is not as easy to produce on a large scale as A. cucumeris. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate augmentative biological control using species such as A. cucumeris. In a previous study, we also showed that A. cucumeris can feed and develop well on Schizotetrancyhus nanjinegensis (Ma & Yuan), another important pest of moso bamboo in Fujian (Zhang et al. 1997,2000b). The impact ofa. cucumeris ona. corpusae will be greater thanits impact on S. nanjingensi.~ because A. corpuzae lacks the protection provided by the webnests in S, nanjinensis. A. cucumeris is therefore a valuable addition to the biocontrol weaponry against A. corpuzae on bamboo plants in Fujian.
