Integrated Mangmant of the Oriental Citrus Mite Eutetranychus Orientalis (Klein) (Review)

Abstract

The Integrated control mite Eutetranychu orientalis that uses a group of methods that simultaneously meet all of the environmental, economic, and health requirements, relying in particular on the use of biological enemies and the principle of critical economic limit. That is, integrated control, in other words, is a strategy for combating mites, based on the environment, as it relies on natural death factors by Biological enemies and unsuitable climate factors and rely little on other control techniques, as chemical control is used only when needed and through studying the numerical detection of the pest and natural death factors. The integrated management of the oriental citrus mite E. orientalis done by the botanical pesticide Oxymetrine 2.4% SL, the fungicide Hirsutella thompsonii, or mixtures of them, has proved its efficiency by controlling the growth of the mite practically, and the mixture was more potent despite using the half dose. Additionally, when using the Scolothrips sexmuculatus predator, great benefits were achieved in the context of reducing the number of pesticides by using the minimum recommended doses; this was reflected in reducing environmental pollution and decreasing the control costs, as well as achieving efficient management against the mite stages without any significant negative impact on the predator.
