| Abstract | ||
| The predatory mite Typhfodromus pyn' Scheuten was collected from Mango leaves and debris under the trees associated with phyIOphagous mite. The predaceous mite Typhiodromus pyn' was fed on the two spotted Spider mite Tetranychus urticaeKoch, Eufeiranychus orientalisIKlein) and Oiigonychus mangiferus (Rahmanasapra) as preys. It was found that the predatory mite Typhiodromus pyn' passes through egg, larva, protonymph and deutonymph before reaching adult. Each active immature stage. when full-grown enters semi-quiescent stage before changing to the subsequent one. The predatory mites was reared in the laboratory at an average temperature25i3°c and fed on different types of food. the different preys were highly affected the feeding capacity of immature stages and the number of eggs deposition increased when fed on egg of Tetracychus urticae and Euieiranychus odeniaiis. | ||
