Abstract
The efficiency of propolis and dark honeybee comb were studied against egg and adult female stages of phytophagous mite, T.urticae Koch. at constant temperature (25± 1 C◦) and relative humidity (70± 5%). Data showed that the propolis extract appears more effective against T.urticae eggs (LC50 0.52 g/ml) than dark honeybee comb (LC50 0.84 g/ml), while the dark honeybee comb extract was more effective than propolis extract (LC50 0.38 and 1.12 g/ml), respectively against adult females. The biological aspects of T.urticae, incubation period of eggs, life cycle, generation period, adult female longevity and female fecundity were affected by treating eggs and adult females with LC50 value of the propolis and dark honeybee comb extracts.
