Abstract
The two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch) were collected in 1961 from a number of bushes of the common elder (Sambucus nigra L.) in the dunes of Voorne in The Netherlands, and a ’Sambucus’ strain was established in the laboratory. Since then, this strain has been cultivated on beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in strict isolation under controlled conditions. The population size never fell below approximately 2000 individuals (Helle, 1968).
