Abstract
Feeding capacity of the cunaxid mite Neocunaxoides andrei (Baker & Hoffmann) and its feeding capability on the rootknot
nematode Meloilogyne javanica Chitwood, under laboratory or semi field conditions were studied. Results showed
that, a female of N. andrei consumed an average of 177.2 second juvenile stage (j2s) of M. javanica within five days
under the laboratory conditions of 26 ± 1°C and 70 ± 5% R.H. Data also indicated that, the presence of 20, 40 and 60
newly emerged N. andrei females together with 500 j2s M. javanica in pots planted with tomato seedlings 15 days old
caused a reduction of about 59 %, 74 % and 86 % of M. javanica reached adult females after 30 days.
