SOIL MITES AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS AGAINST LAND SNAIL, Monacha cartusiana (MULLER) INHABITING SOIL AT SHARKIA GOVERNORATE
Plant Protection Research Institute, A,R,C., Dokki, Egypt.
Abstract
Mites inhabiting soil heavy infested with the land snail , Monacha cartusiana (Muller) in Abou-Kabeer district, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt were surveyed during two successive years (9Nov. to June: 2009 – 10 &2010-11). The collected mites were 18 species belonging to 16 genera, 15 families and 3 sub order of the sub-class Acari. Of the collected mites, Uroobovella (Fascuropoda) marginata (Koch)(Uropodidae: Gamasida) inhabits the snail leading to the snail death within about 2 weeks also, the mite Galumna flabillifera Hammer (Galumnidae: Oribatida) penetrate the eggs of the same snail leading to a secondary infection with some pathogenic fungi which rapidly developed and finally leads to the death of those eggs.
