The history of biological control of harmful organisms by mites is
marked by outstanding achievements with a few premiere natural
enemies. Early works concentrated on the use of predatory mites for
the control of synanthropic flies, More recently, the focus has
been mostly on mites of the family Phytoseiidae for the control of
plant feeding mites. This is an important family of acarine
predators of plant pest mites, which are effectively used in
agriculture worldwide. Besides the vast knowledge in several
species in this family, there are as well many opportunities for
biological control, represented in an array of organisms and
through the improvement of management techniques, which are
constantly explored by researchers worldwide. This has resulted in
an increasing interest in predatory mite species within the
families Stigmaeidae, Ascidae, Laelapidae, Rhodacaroidea,
Macrochelidae, Erythraeidae and Cheyletidae, among others. This
book will compile important developments with predatory mite
species within these families, which are emerging as important
tools for integrated pest management. New developments with
predatory insects and pathogenic organisms attacking mites will
also be a subject of this book. Finally, the potential and gaps in
knowledge in biological control of acarine plant pests will be
addressed.
