Abstract
Comparative studies on some ecological characteristics of three phytoseiid mitespecies (one native; Arnblyseius womersleyi Schica, and two introduced species; A. fallacis Garmanand Typhlodromus occidentalis Nesbit) were carried out. The two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychusurticae Koch) was supplied as prey. Under four constant temperatures of 20, 23, 25 and 30f OS$^{\circ}$C,duration of growth from egg to adult for A. womer.vleyi was 11.5, 7.7, 6.7 and 5.6 days. While twoother species needed slightly shorter time but not significantly different. Critical temperature andeffective degree-days (DD) of A. womerslevi females were 83$^{\circ}$C and 1 1 1.6 DD, whereas those of A..fallacis were 10.7"C and 86.0 DD, and those of 7: occidentalis were 10.7"C and 94.1 DD. Also, thoseof males were similar to their females. Average longevity of females of A. womersleyi, A. fallucisand 7: occidentalis were 18.2 k 8.67, 19.6 3~7.18 and 13.0f5.66 days, total fecundity were 34.3 $-11.93, 39.8k 12.64 and 23.6k8.86, respectively. Under four constant temperatures of 20, 23, 25 and30-t0.S$^{\circ}$C, A. womersleyi consumed 9.1 f2.49, 9.7 k2.00, 9.7 f 2.61, and 10.3 k2.33 eggs of 7:urticae throughout their development. A. ,fizlluc~i.sc onsumed 10.2 k 2.52, 9.7 f2.29, 10.7 f 2.37 and10.1 k2.62 eggs, while, 7: occidentalis consumed 1 1.9 k3.43, 14.2 f4.50, 14.8 k 3.2 1 and 12.7 f2.95 eggs, respectively. Gravid females of A. womersleyi, A. f~zllacis and 7: occidentalis consumed11.4f1.59, 12.5k1.43 and 11.7k3.07 eggs, or consumed 11.9f 2.63, 12.4k3.82, and 12.5f 3.73protonymphs of 7: urticae in a day at 25-30$^{\circ}$C.e in a day at 25-30$^{\circ}$C.
점박이응애(Tetranychus urticae Koch)를 먹이로 제공하여 3종 이리응애의 발육 및 포식량을 조사한결과는 다음과 같다. 20, 23, 25, $30\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$에서 발육기간은 Amblyseius womerslryi Schica 각 11.5, 7.7, 6.7, 5.6일이었으며, Amblyseius fallacis Garman과 Typhlodromus occidentalis Nesbit는 약간 짧았으나 큰 차이는 없었으며, $30^{\circ}C$에서 $20^{\circ}C$보다 1/2이하로 짧았다. 이리응애의 발육임계온도와 유효적산 온도는 암.수간에 차이가 없었고, 암컷을 기준으로 볼 때 A. womersleyi가 각 $8.8^{\circ}C$, 111.6일도, A. fallacis는 각 $10.7^{\circ}C$, 86.0일때도, T. occidentalis는 각 $10.7^{\circ}C$, 94.1 일도였다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 3종이리응애 암성충의 평균수명은 A. womersleyi $18.2\pm$8.67일, A. fallacis $19.6\pm$7.81일, T. occidentalis $13.0\pm$5.66일이었고, 총산란수는 각 $34.3\pm$11.93, $39.8\pm$12.64, $23.6\pm$8.86개였다. 이리응애의 전발육기간 동안 점박이응애 난 포식량은 20, 23, 25, $30\pm$$0.5^{\circ}C$에서 A. womersleyi가 각 $9.1\pm$2.49, $9.7\pm$2.00, 9.7$\pm$2.61, $1.03\pm$2.33개로 온도별로 차이가 없었고, A. fallacis는 비슷하였으며, T. occidentalis는 2~5개 많은 경향이었다. 3종 이리응애 암성충의 점받이응애 나과 전약충에 대한 포식량은 온도별.먹이 태별로 별 차이가 없었다.
