| Abstract | ||
| In this study 53 mite species were collected from 18 different stored products sources: wheat-straw, wheat-grains, wheat-bran, rice, rice-hay, barley, garlic, onion, faba-bean, corn, date-palm, dried-molokhia, cucumber-seeds, squash-seeds, watermelon-seeds, flour, animal-feed and skins were collected from six governorates: Fayoum, Giza, Bein-Seuf, Cairo, Qalyobia and Dakuahlia during two years from January 2018 to December 2019. Mite incidence proved the occurrence of 23 Astigmatic mite species belonging to 11 genera and 5 families, while Prostigmatid mites were represented by 17 mites species belonging to nine genera in five families, in addition to 13 mite species of Mesostigmatid belonging to eight genera and five families.The present study reveals the similarity which exists between the stored product mites of Egypt and that of other comparable parts of the world. Whereas Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Shrank, 1781) is considered a major pest of stored grain and dominant than other Astigmatid mites. | ||
