Abstract

The effect of the two predatory mite species Phytosiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot and Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot), fungal entomopathogen, Beuvaria bassiana and the biochemical compound Abamectin (Vapcomic) were investigated against the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch on kidney bean (Paulista) and sugar snap pea (Snow wind) in a greenhouse at Behaira governorate during 2013 season. The average number of spider mite population was significantly different among the different treatments on Paulista (F 4,99= 39.025; P < 0.001; Table 1), and on Snow wind (F 4,99= 32.17; P < 0.001). The mean reduction percentage of spider mite populations on both plant varieties by P. persimilis was significantly the highest (95.2%), followed by treating with Vapcomic (90.0 %) and the fungus B. bassiana (84.8%); T. swirskii caused the least (71.9%). Thus, using P. persimilis to control the two spotted spider mite on the two plant varieties (Paulista and Snow wind) is recommended.
