Interspecific interactions of spider mite, Tetranychus urticae K., and onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lind, on different cucumber cultivars: II. influence of spider mite on behavior and spatial distribution of onion thrips

摘要

The effect of spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch on the distribution of onion thrips Thrips tabaci Lind over the foliage layers and within a single cucumber leaf was studied. The interspecific aggregations of the two phytophages are determined by the behavior of thrips adults and larvae.
