BIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF THE PREDATORY MITE, Agistemus exsertus (ACARI: STIGMAEIDAE) TO PHOTOPERIOD AND LIGHT INTENSITY

Abstract
A laboratory study revealed that the high intensity of light retarded the development of the immature stages of the predatory stlgmaeid mite, Agislemus exsertus Gonzalez. Additionally. the predatory adults showed a high photoperiodic response. Adult longevity correlated negatively with increasing light intensity or photoperiod. Moreover, reproduction and predation capacity of females were negatively responded to photoperiod and light intensity.
