Abstract

A study was conducted during 2021 and 2022 years to throw some light on the incidence of predatory mite fauna associated with some agricultural pests attacking seven host plants in Kom-Hammada District, Beheira Governorate (West Delta), Egypt.  A total of thirteen mite species belonging to families Phytoseiidae, Cheyletidae, Stigmaeidae and Bdellidae were identified. They are listed along with their preys from phytophagous mites, insects and plant habitat in which they were collected. The most dominant collected species were the phytoseiids Typhlodromips swirskii Athias-Henriot; Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot; Euseius scutalis Athias-Henriot and Typhlodromus pyri Prichard. The dominance of these mites were detected. They can be considered potentially useful in suppressing the associated prey mites and insects. The phytoseiid Neoseiulus bakeri Hughes; the stigmaeid Agistemus exertus Ganzoles and the cheyletid Hemicheyletia bakeri Ehara were less dominant implying that their impact on prey population is less important. The remaining collected mite species were rare.
