Abstract

A positive correlation was found between numbers of phytoseiids and numbers of pollen grains on grapefruit leaves in this study. One or more pollens are important food sources for many phytoseiid species. Pollens of Citrus sp., Pinus sp., Quercus sp., and other plants coincided with increases in phytoseiid numbers in the field. The dominant phytoseiid species, I. quadripilis and T. peregrinus, are generalists that can be reared in the laboratory on exclusive diets of pollen from the ice plant, Malephora crocea (Jacquin).
