Open full text 209 citations
Abstract
Phytoseiid mites are beneficial to agriculture because they often prey upon phytophagous mites. This publication provides keys, descriptions, and illustrations for the recognition of 52 California species of phytoseiids and hitherto unpublished data on their dis tribution and habitats. It gives general information on collecting and preparation of specimens.
