Abstract

The importance of acarid mites of the genus Tyrophagus as pests of ornamental plants was shown by Wilkin et al. (1976), Ciampolini et al. (1985) and Czajkowska et al. (1988). Preliminary results of investigations on the bionomics and damage caused by these mites were published by Czajkowska et al. (1988). In this report, the results of further observations on the bionomics of Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) and T. neiswanderi Johnston and Bruce are presented.
